Chef George's orientation to any street or suburb is just on the basis of the availability of food. It is hard to extract a memory from George, where food was not involved. The zeal for food was such that George started running his family run restaurant at the age of 15. After gaining the hotel management degree, he went on to complete his Masters in Business Administration. George is now a qualified chef who has worked in India, Kuwait and New Zealand for the past 10 years.
