In this episode - 0033 ChanAtown, we delve into some fascinating discoveries of the not so real life.
What's really going on at Spruce Hill Resort & Spa in the 108 Mile Ranch of British Columbia? Did we just finish running a five-star restaurant Post Covid in the Cariboo or were we actually conducting a 5-month feasibility study around community resources? Either way we certainly learned some fascinating things. We uncovered monumental amounts of dishonesty and crime and subversion. Stay tuned for a follow up episode that comes out of this.
The local community, for a long time, has had its concerns about the ownership of the resort. We went in there to try to help support the communal facility by working with its owner. There is a ski hill, tube park, swimming pool, weight room and a large number of guest accommodations and Chalets. The unfortunate reality is this has all been run into the ground and is still open to the public despite portions of it being closed by health order.
What is a resort without any facilities at all? The situation is very perplexing; however we did uncover a number of things, one of which being that the owner Mr Chan has no interest in making any money... Matter of fact he loses $100,000 a month and has lost millions along the way. Not to mention he has over 20 lawsuits against him and does not pay any of his bills unless he absolutely has to. We brought in the offer of capital grants (and or at least the attempt to give him capital grants and job creation programs) to bring the infrastructure back up to par, he didn't want it. After witnessing RCMP raids, seeing RCMP based out of the resort and watching their tanks roll up the driveway we realized something was very wrong. In this episode we share a general overview of what we learned and some of our very perplexing interactions with the owner. Long story short we had to shut down the Rolling Hills Restaurant but now we're looking for a better way to help the community and a better way to bring food from the local farms to the community in value-added ways.
As a side note, there's a lot of talk that goes on in the world and we don't mind telling the story. The reality of our actions is that we are taking action and you get to hear about it here on Cameo Radio. Big shout out to Mr Kin Wa Chan for telling us the rest of the story. It's still confusing but, have a listen for yourself, sometimes reality is stranger than fiction.
There is definitely a lot more behind this story. We hope to be able to put that together for you in the near future.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
