Anyone who has had the pleasure of working with Chef Derrick Markland for a number of years will come to find many different facets within him: teacher, mentor, dreamer and entrepreneur being only smallest examples of what his persona encompasses.
If you are a Rouxstir and love all things Roux, if you are checking us out for the first time; learning about a local phenomenon is never a waste! Chef has been a Junctioneer for years, getting his first start over five years ago with the cosy Junction Eatery. With an insightful renovation, he has transformed his first restaurant into a space that now manages to be both chic and comfortable under a new moniker of Roux. Compassionate, stubborn and loyal, Chef Derrick has guided Roux into becoming a direct reflection of the neighbourhood and the humanity surrounding it.
Whether you are in need of a taste of home, a great spot for a date or a timeless classic, Chef Derrick Markland's passion for food will never disappoint.
Derrick is going to teach David how to make Jumbolia on stage! This is going to be interesting.
