John Torode met his second wife Lisa Faulkner while she was on MasterChef....

I’m guessing Lisa dresses him now so he’s not going to meet a third Mrs Torode

I love Grace Dent she always looks like she's just finished a full bottle of red wine after finding out her fella was cheating on her.

 

Rachel Khoo is now a judge on great British menu another love of my  life.

Dent's father is a scouser too....Which is probably why she's not got her head up her arse like most food critics

Here is part of a review she did for Belzen on Smithdown Road.. Although bit disappointed she didn't call it "The Asda" 

 

Arriving in Liverpool on a wet Thursday night with a migraine and an empty stomach, I was reminded why I love the place when I reached Belzan. Full disclosure: my father is a Scouser. Some of my earliest food memories are of funeral teas in Toxteth, Lion bars from a push-along mobile shop with no engine and, in later years, a whirl around Huyton’s glamorous, two-storey Asda. Truffled celeriac, crayfish emulsions and tonka beans were not regular features in Merseyside dining back then, although the collective psyche has, to me at least, always felt aspirational.

As a child, I was more inspired by Margi Clarke than by Madonna, and Liverpool’s food scene – from The Art School to Mowgli and throughout the Baltic Triangle – has flourished on its own terms, not London’s. And now this all-day “neo-bistro” on the Smithdown Road is doing pork collar yakitori and scallops with mango and masala, and it all feels wholly natural. There are raw juices, shakshuka and matcha lattes in the morning, croque-madames and Corpse Bride cocktails at lunchtime, and a dinner menu of seasonal, often local produce that’s just brimming with Scouse swagger and European as well as Japanese splashes. .

Long story short.. I punched my Sous Chef in a night club. He pushed me down stairs as some joke. What was i supposed to do he could of seriously hurt me. I was drunk and lashed out because he was so stupid to do that. I got fire as i was a threat to the teams future going for a Star. I wasn't disciplined enough. Apparently i was the only one in the wrong and after talking to some friends about it ones that are much further than me. I feared for my career future and took a little break as news like that can effect it. I was always gonna go back into Cheffing as for the Gypsies i got into some silly shit in england that really fucked my head up big style and i had to get out of England for my own sanity. Im like a ticking Time Bomb i know that so i had to do something about it and it helped. But i cant choose my passion and i seriously miss the Kitchen it was such a joy to go home and Cook for Family and friends when i got back. Like i said i felt it was something i had to do for my career.

One punch Si.

You just know that Si was making spaghetti hoops on toast with a sprig of thyme on top and serving it too his family on a silver platter.. "one day I hope to have a star.. my unique flavour combinations of beef and tomato or  ham with cheese will blow the industry apart"

 

Thing is with Simon he's a dreamer and a doer and he's fearless. I'd love for it all to pay off.

He's created an atmosphere where he's an entrepeneur first and an actor second. Probably a chef third.

Wait till I get on there, and the fuckin' voice that does the commentary as if hiding behind the curtains, and now he opens the can of beans and sprinkles an oxo cube from a height in order to enhance the beans. 

As Jamie Oliver would say they're best mates with frozen chips.
