Get to know your FBYC Restaurant Chef
Chef Gary
|
|
|
Q: What's the story behind your passion for the hospitality industry, and how does it influence your approach to running our yacht club's restaurant kitchen?
|
|
Hot flames, sharp knives, and pressure like no other industry, all to produce a meal that won’t be forgotten easily is what drew me to the industry, that’s all that matters in the end, an all-round unforgettable moment of dining pleasure.
|
Q: Can you share a memorable dining experience from your own life that has shaped the way you view the importance of exceptional service and ambiance in a restaurant?
|
The first time I spooned into a chocolate fondant at a Michelin-star restaurant, it felt like time slowed down as the chocolate oozed out – details matter.
|
Q: As the head chef, what aspect of running the kitchen brings you the most joy, and why?
|
The freedom of creativity - it’s my personality on a plate.
|
Q: What's your favourite dish on the menu, and what makes it special to you?
|
|
My favourite dish would have to be The Benjamins. The first real sauce I learnt to make was a beautiful hollandaise, fresh every morning.
