Chef's Profile |
Chef Patron - Gary Rhodes
Gary
Rhodes' legendary dedication to his craft and relentless pursuit of
perfection has placed him firmly at the forefront of today's culinary
world.
Chef, restaurateur, celebrity and author; his
distinguished career, tireless attention to detail and unique mastery
of the 'Great British Classics' truly sets him apart. A history of
stunning restaurants has won him a constellation of Michelin stars and
he is consistently revered by his peers as truly 'The Chef's Chef'.
Well-known
as an ambassador for British cuisine, Gary has achieved what no other
chef has previously managed to do: he has re-introduced the nation to
its rich gastronomic heritage and uncovered a culinary culture to rival
that of any other country in the world.
29 years after
graduating from Thanet Technical College in Kent, Gary is an extremely
busy man. The start of 2005 saw his undisputedly successful London
restaurant, Rhodes Twenty Four, with spectacular views over the City
from Tower 42, winning its first Michelin star. The restaurant has
received rave reviews since it's opening in 2003 and has seen its
tables booked up for months. This is Gary's fifth Michelin star. Rhodes
Twenty Four is one of only a few restaurants in London with this
accolade. In addition to Rhodes Twenty Four, Gary opened Rhodes W1
brasserie in the newly refurbished Cumberland Hotel in Marble Arch in
2005. He has also launched 'Arcadian Rhodes' aboard the new P&O
Superliner, Arcadia and 'Oriana Rhodes' aboard the cruise liner Oriana.
2006 found Gary with a new restaurant venture in DUblin, Ireland, with
the launch of his 250 seater brasserie, Rhodes D7.
