Being a Chef is Great, Yes it is tuff but once you get a name for your self it is easy like most jobs it has its ups and Downs I have seen the world being a chef I remember my first expat posting was in Puerto Rico At the Sands Casino. I am in Moscow Russia now and love it Not Sure if Phuket has Room for to many great Chefs Big Bill has some of the best taste buds I have seen as a professional. Tell you a Secret Many of these chefs Crack in a real restaurant. Take it from a Man that has 26 gold metals and has won the La Salon Culinaire 2 times back to back Many of these guys on TV can not cook so well but are great show men Last edited by itstime : 19-09-2007 at 11:11.

One of the funniest Floyd shows was when he was in a pen with a load of ostriches near cape Town, and he was cooking...............ostrich stew!!!....and the live ones kept going up to him and pecking him on the head.
There's a very brief clip of it here>>> Travel Channel | On TV - FLOYD ON AFRICA Last edited by landofsmiles : 19-09-2007 at 11:41.

Well Otto, I will shut up regarding meatballs from now on.
As a proffesional chef it would be interesting to hear your wiev on who of these chefs you think is the best chef if they worked in a kitchen instead of worked in front of the camera, with assistants, retakes, scripts and so on. Which one of these do you think is the best actual chef?: Gordon Ramsay Jamie Oliver Nigella Keith Floyd (guess i have to stick with the english chefs, since there are mostly englishmen here?)

About 10 years ago I was in my friend Ivans' garden shed in Guernsey with Ollie Reed on a sunday morning. Ollie lived on the island at the time. The two of them were opening bottles of gin and glugging it down neat...half a bottle at a time  I had a fair bit and ended up crawling out the shed and lying flat on my back in the garden for about 3 hours unable to get up while the two of them carried on! Ollie got banned from several pubs on the island for standing up on the bar and dropping his trousers to show everyone the tattoo on his willy. Alex Higgins used to fly over regularly to party with him. Sadly Ivan died about 6 months later from alcoholic poisoning and Ollie died of a heart attack in a bar in Malta...while filming The Galdiator there...after downing three bottles of Captain Morgan's Jamaica rum, eight bottles of German beer, numerous doubles of Famous Grouse whiskey, and beating five much younger Royal Navy sailors at arm-wrestling. His bar bill for that final lunch time totaled 270 Maltese lira, almost £450. Only just seen this>>> didn't know Floyd had had a bit of a turn a few weeks ago here>>> Floyd still standing PATONG: Keith Floyd, renowned British celebrity chef and owner of Floyd’s Brasserie at Burasari Resort, flew home this morning as planned in order to continue with his UK theater roadshow Floyd Uncorked – putting paid to rumors that he is suffering ill health. Rumors about Floyd’s health began circulating after he collapsed on Saturday evening while taking time out from cooking at his brasserie to talk to guests at the resort’s bar. Floyd passed out while seated and chatting with a guest from New Zealand but regained consciousness a few minutes later and was taken to Patong Hospital by Burasari staff, where he was given the all clear by doctors; returning to the hotel the same evening for much needed rest. Burasari Resident Manager Conor O’Leary confirmed that Mr Floyd’s condition was not serious and that his stay was not cut short by the incident, as some media have speculated. Mr Floyd had already extended his stay after originally planning to return to the UK late last week, Mr O’Leary said. Mr Floyd arrived in Phuket earlier this month on a brief visit to his Patong restaurant, taking time out from a busy schedule of filming and stage appearances. Before his Thailand stopover, Floyd was filming and cooking for world cup rugby teams as part of his latest television series. “He has been working very hard and was tired from his very busy schedule. We took him to hospital as a precaution but after a brief checkup, doctors gave him the all clear, saying he had fainted as a result of [exposure to] tropical heat and exhaustion,” Mr O’Leary said. “Mr Floyd is in good health and he is flying back to the UK today as planned to appear on stage on Thursday night as part of his theater roadshow. “Mr Floyd and his brasserie are very popular with our guests, which has kept him very busy and we expect him to be returning to Burasari in November,” he added.
