About Us

Serving others is a reward in itself, and serving others through food is the icing on the cake. For Chef Ray, food has always been a passion, and the kitchen has always felt like home. At just 14, he was already cooking in his family’s restaurants, a love for the craft that carried him through his teens, 20s, and 30s—and continues to this day.

For the past 11 years, Chef Ray poured his heart into Lefty’s Cafe, a beloved spot in the small hamlet of Bezanson, Alberta. Known simply as “Lefty’s” to the locals, the cafe was more than just a restaurant—it was a community hub where guests became family. Over time, demand for Lefty’s catering services grew, and in January 2023, Chef Ray made the difficult but rewarding decision to shift his focus entirely to catering. This change allowed him to continue sharing his passion for food while achieving a better balance between work and family life—all while still serving the loyal guests of Lefty’s.

Lefty’s Cafe Becomes Lefty’s Catering 

Lefty’s Cafe has evolved into Lefty’s Catering, but the heart of the business remains the same—serving up good old-fashioned, wholesome food. The menu still focuses on home-style family favorites, made with quality ingredients and prepared with care. Great food, done right—it’s that simple.
