About Harry Kambolis
- Harry Kambolis (born June 30, 1968) is a restaurateur who owned and operated Raincity Grill (1992-2014), C Restaurant (1997-2014) and Nu (2005-2011) -In the early 1990s, Kambolis built relationships with local farmers and producers of quality ingredients and served and promoted what later became known as Pacific Northwest cuisine.
- He also supported British Columbian wines, a burgeoning industry at the time, long before it was in vogue.
- By offering wines only from B.C.
- and the American Northwest, and by having a formidable "wines by the glass" program, Kambolis developed a successful business model that later was emulated. The opening of C Restaurant, in 1997, created another opportunity for Kambolis to demonstrate his commitment to regional bounty.
- The restaurant's mandate was to look beyond the typically homogenized selection of seafood available on menus around the world.
- Kambolis, in tandem with his chefs Soren Fakstorp and Robert Clark, sourced and introduced about 60 local varieties of the highest quality seafoods, all of which were locally harvested.
- C Restaurant was credited with introducing and popularizing several B.C.
- seafoods (some back from extinction, some unfamiliar to the market), including geoduck, sablefish, pink salmon, and B.C.
- abalone. Kambolis is the co-author, with Chef Robert Clark, of the cookbook "C Food".
