According to Chef Connor Sperling, the viral fare was originally whipped up in honour of a special family member. 'Pasta for Rachel was inspired by my loving wife, who has been by my side for so long,' the chef explains. 'It's a fairly simple dish, it's just potatoes, butter and cheese, which are always great.' The scoop of butter that finishes the plate adds to the undeniable appeal. 'The butter has become a 'thing',' Sperling admits of the imported dairy product, sourced from Normandy, France, that is scooped from a large wooden basket. Pasta for Rachel is joined on the menu by other French classics such as mussels, steak frites and fish with herbs and truffle at the stylish brasserie, located at 3305 Cambie St. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Chef Connor Sperling of June on Cambie Street. Photo by Mark Yuen Visuals 'The cuisine here at June is inspired by French brasseries and traditional French dishes, but we're here in Vancouver, so we have a West Coast spin on it,' Sperling summarizes of the eatery's offering. The keep-it-simple approach to classic dishes is very much in line with the culinary talent's personal approach to cooking. 'I like to cook dishes that look effortless and simple, and just use the best ingredients that I can find,' Sperling says. The ability of a food to be simple yet impactful was what originally drew the chef into the culinary world. 'The first time I fell in love with food was when I was really young, washing dishes, and I had a roasted red pepper soup — something so simple — and it blew me away,' Sperling recalls. That soup led to a career, and love, for cooking. 'I love being in the kitchen. I love the sounds, the smells, the vibes,' says Sperling. 'I love everything about it.' Officially opened on April 10, the 4,500-square-foot restaurant comes from the award-winning team behind The Keefer Bar. With an emphasis on dinner and late-night bites, June is also set to become a hub for creative cocktails. 'We want people to settle in, stay a while, and enjoy great company in a space unlike any other in Vancouver thus far,' noted co-owners Cam Watt and Keenan Hood in a news release. Read More
