BEYOND THE GATE
At Beyond the Gate, a French fine dining gem in Shelburne, Ontario, Chef-Owner Frederic Chartier has crafted a culinary experience that draws diners from all over, including those traveling to cottage country. Open for seven years and boasting a 4.9 rating on Google, the restaurant has evolved from a creperie to a refined dining destination. Central to this transformation has been the Garland G280 Series 6-burner commercial range, a piece of equipment that has become indispensable in Chef Chartier’s kitchen.
“I’ve worked with Garland products in the United States, and I knew they were reliable,” says Chef Chartier. His experience led him to a fortuitous find at a kitchen depot warehouse in Toronto, where he discovered the G280 Series, a used model from the late 1980s or early 1990s. “I wasn’t specifically looking for Garland, but I got very lucky. The six high-BTU burners and strong construction caught my eye immediately.”
Since bringing the Garland range into his kitchen, Chef Chartier has relied on it to handle the rigorous demands of his restaurant. “The efficiency of the burners is unmatched. They get the job done every time,” he remarks. The durability of the equipment has been equally impressive, with only one service needed in the seven years it has been in use at Beyond the Gate.
Chartier praises the Garland range for allowing him to maintain the high standards of his restaurant. “The oven heats up quickly, and the burners respond fast, which is crucial in a busy kitchen like ours. The range has been a pleasure to work with and gives me peace of mind knowing that it’s reliable.”
When asked if he would purchase Garland products again, Chef Chartier is unequivocal: “Absolutely. Garland is the best on the market, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to others.” For Beyond the Gate, the Garland range has been more than just a tool; it’s been a trusted partner in delivering exceptional dining experiences.
Chef Frederic Chartier’s trust in the vintage G280 Series 6-burner commercial range and Garland brand is a testament to the reliability and longevity of Garland products.
