The couple, who met and became engaged on the first season of The Bachelor Canada, released a statement on the split via social media on Wednesday. The Bachelor Canada's Brad Smith and Bianka Kamber celebrate after their engagement in the Barbados. "Although we love each other intensely, we both want different things out of life, " it read in part, going on to thank the reality-TV series for introducing them. "We wouldn't change a single thing about our experience. This was more than just a television show to us, it was real life, and real love. " Smith, a former wide receiver in the CFL and son of Senator Larry Smith, has been working as an correspondent for Entertainment City as of late.
On June 23, 2015, Shaw Media announced that Smith would host the new season of Food Network Canada 's high-stakes culinary competition series, Chopped Canada. [4] References [ edit]
But Smith, who's the son of former CFL commissioner and Senator Larry Smith, swears he's not arrogant: "I'm just a regular guy who's gotten very lucky. " He turns the conversation to chef Raca, who's the reason that Smith, a Hudson, Que., native who now lives mainly in Los Angeles, got into the restaurant business in Toronto. Raca made her reputation when, at 20, she became the first female saucier in Mark McEwan's North 44. She went on to become the sous chef at McEwan's ONE and then executive chef of his McEwan Grocery food emporium before heading to Australia to work with Michelin-starred chef Paul Froggatt. In 2016, she competed on and won Chopped Canada. Smith was host at the time, and he recalls Raca blowing everyone away with one of the meals she made for the competition: gnocchi with bulgur wheat, stinging nettles, chocolate and snails. Out of more than 100 people who competed that season, "she was the only one... that I went to her restaurant after because I was just intrigued by the process of how she makes her food, " he says.

Smith, for his part, re-posted the announcement six hours after he's originally done so, "in case you haven't heard first from us. " Smith, a former wide receiver in the CFL and son of Senator Larry Smith, has been working as an correspondent for Entertainment City. Kamber is a nurse who put her career on hold after the series aired in 2012. After Kamber accepted Smith's proposal on a beach in Barbados, the pair moved into her parent's suburban home in Mississauga. The inaugural season of The Bachelor Canada wrapped in November 2012, with Smith and Kamber insisting at that time that their romance had been "organic" – and that they planned to tie the knot as soon as they could. "It's hard for a lot of people to believe that you can have an organic relationship on a reality television show but for us it was seamless, " Smith told the Canadian Press at the time. But hope springs eternal: Production on the second season of The Bachelor Canada is slated to begin this spring, with the series airing in the fall on City.

Pretty soon, Smith was eating at Raca Café and Bar on Queen St. W. twice a week and trying to figure out, "What can I do to be a part of this? " When he was approached to invest in the overall Assembly Chefs' Hall, he decided to invest in Raca instead. "So we closed down Raca Café, which is kind of counterintuitive, but now she gets to serve 500 people a day, " Smith says. The gnocchi in mushroom truffle sauce is something Raca used to sell at her café, but at Boemo the prep time has been shaved and $11 knocked off the price (for a full portion). The gnocchi is made mostly of ricotta, which gives it a melt-in-the-mouth texture. There is truffle paste in the cream sauce, meaty mushrooms, and truffle oil and fresh shaved truffle on top. Loading... "We don't want to be fast food, we want to be gourmet food fast, " Smith says. "We came up with a way of doing the exact same quality and doing it from a 20-minute process down to three (minutes) and it ends up like this. " Boemo sells out of the gnocchi pretty much every service, he adds.
Debra Yeo Toronto Star Tue., Feb. 20, 2018 4 min. read Article was updated Feb. 21, 2018 Food has long been Brad Smith's secret love. The man we watched on TV as the first Bachelor Canada, and later a Breakfast Television reporter and host of food show Chopped Canada, is now a restaurateur. Smith co-owns Resto Boemo, one of the 17 establishments in the newly opened Assembly Chef's Hall, 111 Richmond St. W., with chef Ivana Raca, who was also on Chopped Canada — as a competitor. But for a long time, Smith, 34, tells me when I stop by to sample the signature Boemo Boho Gnoch (gnocchi in mushroom truffle sauce), he kept his passion for the kitchen mostly hidden. Smith was in his third season as a wide receiver and slotback with the Canadian Football League (he played for the Edmonton Eskimos and Toronto Argonauts) when he became entranced watching Michael Smith's Chef at Home on the Food Network and taught himself how to cook. But even when he hosted the chef competition show Chopped Canada for two seasons, he kept his love of cooking under the radar.
