S3 Ep27: Stuart Ralston - Getting Stabbed, Gordon Ramsay's Temper & The Hostilities Of The Edinburgh Food Scene!
Today we're joined by the recently crowned Michelin Star Head Chef and Owner of Lyla in Edinburgh in the wonderful Stuart Ralston to celebrate his success, find out he achieved it and dig out his best war stories from over 20 years in the professional kitchen. Stuart got his big break working under Gordon Ramsay in New York, having grown up in a council estate in Scotland and followed his father into the industry, albeit that was working in his fathers pizzeria rather than the Michelin starred kitchens he found himself in from New York to London to the Caribbean. Stuart shares with us some shocking stories ranging from; getting stabbed, the most shocking sights he's witnessed in the kitchen, slicing off his finger and carrying on his trial, working for Ramsay and what his famous temper is like, the beef in the Edinburgh food scene & how it's grown into a culinary destination (recently labelled the 'Best Foodie City In The UK'), his fathers stern words to him growing up, fucking up a trial at a Michelin starred kitchen in London, his hatred of foraging, the secrets to getting a Michelin star and much much more.....
