Chef Kelvin Cheung

Kelvin Cheung joins the IB Hospitality team as Executive Chef for Ellipsis.  A third generation chef, Cheung has worked in the kitchen since the ripe age of 12.  A graduate of Kendall College, this unique work opportunity reunites him with Sous Chef James Palm and Chief Operating Office Ranbir Batra, both attendees of Kendall College.

The Canadian native has spent most of his life in Chicago, however his first job took him overseas to Belgium where he was trained in classical French fine dining. His career also includes running a resort in British Columbia as well as working with a boutique hotel in Toronto, Canada.  Cheung food nods to molecular gastronomy, but most importantly is appreciated for fresh, high-quality ingredients and the use of as much local produce as possible. 

His experience has spanned from a family-run restaurant to helming an award winning kitchen-- Cheung was Executive Chef of Ginger Asian Bistro in Chicago when it was voted Best New Restaurant by Chicago Magazine.   He brings excitement and  experiential innovation to the Ellipsis kitchen.
