Ep 16 - Scott Findlay talks about cooking for the stars, making it in the restaurant game and surfing his way around the globe
Scott Findlay has been a professional chef for over 22 years. He’s trained under Gordon Ramsay, started a successful restaurant franchise in Australia and spent nearly a decade on the road, rustling up meals for some of the biggest musicians in the biz - from Beyonce to Paul McCartney as they tour the World playing gigs.
He’s great mates with Pink, like family to Rod Stuart, nearly died on a reef break off Tahiti, been to jail in Padang and lived to tell the (hungover) tale of surviving an 8.6 earthquake whilst working as the head chef on an exclusive surf resort in the Mentawi’s. In short, he’s lived an epic life to date and continues to do so, with his next exciting venture, vegan restaurant Flave, soon to come to Sydney.
Scott had many a story (and even a few mouth-watering recipes) to share, so grab a notepad, kick back and enjoy!
