THE "DONOVAN COOKE"

No kidding, this monstser stove that measures 8.5 metre x 2.1 metre and weighs 2.5 tonnes is named 'Donovan Cooke' since it was designed by, and custom-made for, the Chef. The main stove was handmade by Garland in Toronto, Canada. Instead of open burners often seen on traditional commercial equipment, Donovan chose 16 induction hobs made by Garland's German factory. To complete this 'cooking battleship' (for those who understand professional kitchen equipment) there are; Gas Fired Target Tops, Frymaster Deep Fryers, Sous Vide Recirculators, Salamanders, a Pasta Cooker, 18 Refrigerated Drawers, and an Aztec Wood Fired Open Grill that use logs to generate 400C+ heat for fish, poultry and meats .... it is quite an incredible sight. His team of skilled chefs will suround this huge island, running different sections, while Donovan directs them at the 'Pass' in front, where he is seen cherishing a lull during service last night, leaning comfortably against his name sake.
