Chef Signature Series - A Chef's Journey: Chef Erica and Josh Karbelnik

Niagara College's Signature Chef Series is back by popular demand.

On Thursday, February 12, the legendary dinner series will welcome Top Chef Canada Winner and Semifinalist from Karbs Catering and Private Events.


Chefs Erica and Josh Karbelnik are a husband-and-wife team and have been in the industry for over 17 years. Most recognized by their Top Chef Canada and Chopped Canada seasons, the dynamic duo continue to leave their mark in the culinary industry. While pushing boundaries in the creation of signature dishes, they pride themselves on crafting bold flavours inspired by their worldly travels and locally sourced ingredients.

Early in their career, they competed in Ontario's Hawksworth Young Chefs skills competition. Erica and Josh also competed and won their own episode of Food Networks Chopped Canada (season 3).

Erica won Food Network’s Top Chef Canada (season 9), while competing against Josh, who finished as a finalist. Josh became Erica's sous chef in the finale and helped her take the win. The couple has also appeared on CW Networks Recipe for Disaster. They are currently working with Gusto TV for an upcoming mini series that will be airing sometime this year!
