One weekend in 2022, as restaurants in Toronto started to re-open for indoor service, a chef got a call from one of his regular customers, a very wealthy man flying back to Toronto from Dubai. The diner was looking forward to a favorite dish with truffles that evening at his restaurant where he is the\u00a0 executive chef.<\/p>\n

But he knew he didn\u2019t have enough truffle in the kitchen, so he made a call to one man: Richard De Sousa.<\/p>

De Sousa has become known in Toronto as the \u201cTruffleking,\u201d a name he says a chef coined years ago. The Truffleking excused himself from a family brunch to personally deliver just enough high-quality product to that chefs restaurant.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe service Richard provides is second to none,\u201d he said. \u201cThat\u2019s why he cracked the market.\u201d<\/p>
