St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador
The production for ‘A Chef’s Deadly Revenge’ was based in the capital city of Newfoundland and Labrador. Situated on the eastern edge of the country, St. John’s is a city steeped in history, dating back to 1497, as it became a fishing ground for European settlers. It boasts a unique blend of old-world charm and modern amenities, set against a backdrop of dramatic cliffs, a rugged coastline, and colorful row houses dotting its picturesque streets. With its lively arts scene, bustling harbor, and friendly locals known for their warm hospitality, St. John’s has become a popular destination for tourists and filmmakers alike.
One of the most striking features of St. John’s is its iconic architecture, characterized by its colorful Victorian-style row houses known locally as Jellybean Row. These vibrant homes line the steep hillsides of the city, creating a postcard-perfect backdrop for any film or television production. Additionally, St. John’s is home to historic landmarks such as Signal Hill, where Marconi received the first transatlantic wireless signal in 1901, and Cape Spear, the easternmost point of North America.
‘A Chef’s Deadly Revenge’ employed older parts of the city’s downtown area, with graffitied walls, bricked buildings, and rusted metal scaffolding presenting a weathered and rough backdrop for the thriller. In line with the film’s culinary setup, St. John’s has a vibrant food scene, and its restaurants specialize in preparing seafood acquired straight off the boat. Visitors can enjoy these delicacies at waterfront restaurants, cozy bistros, and lively seafood shacks throughout the city. Some other movies that feature the city’s unique geography and natural beauty are Lifetime’s ‘Maid for Revenge,’ ‘Son of a Critch,’ ‘Maudie,’ ‘Republic of Doyle,’ and ‘The Grand Seduction.’
