Feenie (Canada's only Iron Chef that I know of), is indeed a consultant to the Cactus Club. But it's pretty much just marketing/branding. He may have designed the menu items, but you're still getting food cooked by a chain restaurant.
Sorta like how Wolfgang Puck created his own soup line. It's still just mechanically prepared soup, but you'll pay 2$ more cuz some famous chef supposedly crafted the recipe.
I hear Feenie been a bit demoted in the "foodie" crowd in Vancouver due to his decision to "sell out".
