In the long ago, I worked in restaurant kitchens in our fair cities:
The Black Forest Inn
Nigel’s (long closed)
Lord Fletcher’s of the Lake
After eight years at Lord Fletcher’s, working six nights a week and holidays (except Xmas & New Year’s Day when Fletcher’s was closed), I left the restaurant trade. I’m still interested in food, but more in consuming it and general intellectual curiosity. Thong does not much like western food, so we eat mostly Vietnamese.
While I do cook occasionally, I am available for tastings, food or wine, on very short notice.
