Though I was a little younger when I met him, meeting celebrity chefs is in a way such a great payoff.. As an apprentice or an aspiring chef you work late most days and long hours. You get home and turn on the tv and watch shows like "hell's kitchen, the heat and ace of cakes" and life is so much better.
You see other chefs that struggled the same way you did and look where they are now, successful.. that's somewhere you eventually want to be.
It's almost breathtaking for me to meet local chefs like these. It gives you that reminded feeling of it will take you somewhere if you work hard and are very passionate about it.
Meeting McEwan, he drew me a picture of his upcoming risotto dish in his restaurant "one". I still to this day cannot understand his chicken scratch but look forward to one day understanding it all..
