Lynn Crawford
Lynn Crawford is also a judge on Chopped Canada, as well as a cookbook author and the host of her own award-winning Food Network program, Pitchin’ In. Crawford also owns and manages one of the best restaurants in Canada: Ruby Watchco in Toronto. She said it was always her dream to open a restaurant—which features a prix-fixe menu that changes daily—in her hometown. Indeed, it actualized her philosophy: “food should be locally grown, harvested and raised, and cooked to perfection with heart.”
