So who is this guy everyone in Red Deer seems to be talking about?

Possessing a genuine appetite to satisfy the cravings of the hungry, he is a soft-spoken man of few words, preferring instead to let his talent in the kitchen do the talking for him.

Kamalaram [Kamal] Painuly was born in the small village of Doni, India; population 400. Surrounded by lush greenery and fertile farmland, it is a 30 minute drive to nearby Ghansali, which is a central market place for all the surrounding villages. Doni is a stone’s-throw away from Nepal, and yet about 1200 km northwest of Katmandu, which is slightly more than the distance between Red Deer, and Vancouver.
