This is Shohel, my assistant and team mate for the past month. Last year he was the kitchen porter and now he is working on the cold section with the discipline and organisation that many professionals would desire to have. Without clear understanding of Greek or the ability to read orders he trusted me to guide him through the mayhem and not only we survived, we did it with class and style. Cheers to this dude for his hard work and no bullshit attitude.
“There is no lying in the kitchen. And no god there, either. He couldn’t help you anyway. You either can—or can’t—make an omelet. You either can—or can’t—chop an onion, shake a pan, keep up with the other cooks, replicate again and again, perfectly, the dishes that need to be done. No credential, no amount of bullshit, no well-formed sentences or pleas for mercy will change the basic facts. The kitchen is the last meritocracy—a world of absolutes; one knows without any ambiguity at the end of each day how one did.”

“The power to rise, over love, over hate, through this iron sky that fast becoming our mind. Over fear and into freedom. Oh, that’s life. “ Oh, and that’s soufflé. #paolonutini #quarantine #desserts
This is a bowl of greek tripe soup aka “patsas”. It has helped many generations to cure the evils of hangover thus it has provided a safety net on the pursue of an endless conversation, a love affair or a better version of an evening. Patsas should be identified and celebrated as an element of human engineering that served the purpose of zero waste (before it was cool) while giving people the chance to be more childish and celebrate life. Happy 25th birthday @st.john.restaurant your values will always speak to our hearts. #nosetotail #foodporn
Always a pleasure to be on the other side. Thank you @spondi_restaurant and @angelos_lantos for the knowledge you shared and the great meal you offered. @spyros_pediaditakis I keep an eye on you. #two #michelin #stars
Sleepless, drunk, hangover. Cut, burnt, dehydrated. Depressed, divorced or left out. The only thing that matters is the food. So please, please, please. Don’t order your duck medium well. #chefslife
