  • Orly? Like when? I made them big tall ice creams there for a little while, probably about 1997.

    Christmas '96 was the last time I worked there. Justin and Losha (RIP) were the two main chefs there when I left.

  • Reckon we just missed each other. I expect you served me at least one rump steak with watercress over the years tho, it felt like we went there for every family birthday for a while.

    It's a bit disappointing now. All style over service / substance.

  • Ha. Washing up -> Commis Chef -> Grill Chef. Even spent a month as acting head chef at the Travellers Rest in Girton when their head chef went on holiday.

    It was very useful as I just walked into a part-time job when I went to Uni and then switched between the two during holidays and term time.

    Gave me a great understanding the physics of cooking, just none of the art. Give me a recipe and I can follow it no problem (and adjust for different hobs/ovens/etc) but give me a bunch of ingredients and I'm thinking stir fry.
