Meet The Staff

Jervis Cameron - has been with Harlem since 2007. Check him out at our East location (67 Richmond St. East) making the tastiest southern dishes you'll find in Toronto but don't be surprised to see him at our Queen location once in a while too, where we found him last night. Jervis is recognized for jazzing up the standard pork hock with some island spice, fresh thyme and a generous shot of Guinness making you the most succulent pork hock that even the most virtuous diners can't resist!

I came to Harlem when I first moved to Toronto and I fell in love with the food and the vibe.

My favourite meal is at Harlem is the Guinness Chicken and The Jerk Smoked BBQ.

What food/drink/song inspires you?

I Like making Portuguese food it reminds of home and keeps me grounded.

Would you recommend other artists getting involved with Harlem?

I definitely would. Carl and Ana are very supportive of the artist, Harlem features Artists every month and we have a Jazz bands twice a week.  If you are an artist this is the place for you. You always want to surround yourself with people with the same vision. Carl is always encouraging to keep pushing and work hard.

" The amount of time spent working and money for someone else should be the same amount of time you spend on your art."
