HELLO FOODIES, This week we are Breaking Bread With Chef Ben Taylor. Head Chef & owner of one of our favourite restaurants at the moment, Little Blackwood Moseley.
Chef Ben Taylor
We start the episode off by going through Bens work history, places he has trained at, and how working in hotel kitchens is so different to working in a normal restaurant and changes dramatically again, when you own your own restaurant
Little Blackwood, Moseley
Since recording this episode, we have been very lucky to have become friends with Ben & his girlfriend restaurant manager Zsofia. As you hear in the show, Ben is extremely passionate about his restaurant and loves what he does. I think the crazy hard work that goes in to being a restaurant owner is evident.
Advice
As with my other interviews with chefs, i wanted to get some advice for people just starting out in the industry. Ben was great and honest with his advice not sugar coating the hard work that is involved in training to be a chef, while stating the importance of treating ingredients with respect. I also pushed Ben for a little advice for anybody looking to start their own restaurant, so there is plenty of valuable content that i hope you find useful.
