Our Nifty Team
Jennie
As a young girl, Jennie dreamed of owning her own restaurant. Little did she know, it would have her name in the title and be known across the Lakeland! Jennie has worked in the food industry since she was 14 years old. With all this experience, she has put together a great menu to include comfort food for everyone; hers being the Hound Dog. Jennie believes in community. This is why we offer many locally sourced products, gluten free, and dairy free items. So make sure you give Jennie a wave if you see her hustling around or cooking up a storm!
Camile
Cam is Jennie’s husband and the reason behind everything being so shiny. Camile works very hard right from the crack of dawn, to keep up all the maintenance. He spent a few years in the kitchen as a teenager and then moved into the oilfield. Usually mid-day you can find Camile sipping on a bowl of soup, one of life’s simple pleasures.
Alisha
Our marketing and menu design is done by Alisha and so much more she has done at the diner since it opened. Alisha spent 5 year working at the diner. She was a jack of all trades, from washing dishes to cooking, baking and giving the regular coffee boys a hard time when she served them. She has moved on to pursue her career in Nutritional therapy and personal training. You see her around every now and then helping out a new waitress or launching a new design for us. (If you don’t see the resemblance, this is Jennie’s daughter)
Tina
Tina is our prep cook and on-the-fly fill-in cook. She’s been a great addition to our team and provides 44 years of experience. She began hanging around her mom in the kitchen and since then has never left. She specializes in making perogies and amazing soups. Her favourite thing to eat off the menu is the Classic Breakfast. Fun fact Tina is Jennie’s sister-in-law!
Richard
Is our head cook and has been cooking in the service industry since he was 18 years old; He has become a key member of this family. Most people don’t know but Richard can bake! Especially one mean apple pie! His favourite item on the menu was the Blooming Onion.
Selina
She has worked her way out of the dish pit to the floor serving. Selina has a bubbly personality that shows when she is greeting when you walk through the door. Her favourite colour is pink. She has gone on to another career in sales but helps out on the weekends.
Brittany
She started in the dish pit and is now serving you with a smile. She is quiet but knows how to handle the regular coffee boys. She is expecting their first baby this December. Her favourite food is the spicy soup.
