In chatting with The Fat Duck's Executive Chef Ashley Watts the other day I discovered that he and boss Heston Blumenthal will work alongside chef Brad _______, of Australia, in their upcoming (and much awaited) London brasserie at the Mandarin Oriental hotel.

I can't remember what Brad's last name is, and can't find it in any of the Australia forums or even Google, so I thought I'd ask the locals: who is this famous Brad, who apparently is a master at cooking with open-flame fire?

Anyone?


thanks in advance for helping me solve this mistery! :biggrin:

Alex, should be easy, you looking for an Aussie who is good a BBQ'ing and is called Brad...! :biggrin:

I will keep an eye out to see if I come across anything, but lots of Aussie chefs head to London and Brad is quite a common name over here.

PhilD, honestly, from the way the chef said it, it sounded like this guy is quite famous and I was obviously out of the loop! I thought EVERYBODY would know of this Brad guy...

Sigh... :huh:
