Wrath - What makes you angry about the hospitality industry?
Turn Times. They are greedy and the antithesis of hospitality.
Greed - If all your food fantasies came true what would be on your Plate?
Blackmore Wagyu Sirloin Steak grilled by M Executive Chef Michael Reid served with potato puree made by Joel Robuchon. Brought to the table by Danny Mayer, in the Home House dining room.
Sloth - What do you do to unwind?
Walk my very handsome labradoodle Hudson with my very beautiful wife Claire.
Pride - What are you most proud of?
The quality and ambition of my team! Exec Chef, Wine Director, Restaurant Director through to our KP. Also M – A 24 Hour cookbook, makes me smile.
Lust - Is there anything that you are still lusting to achieve?
I’ve only scratched the surface: The M brand has just begun...
Envy - who are you most envious of?
Anyone who has time to travel the world experiencing the finest food, wine and hospitality. William Drew (Editor 50 Best Restaurants) has a pretty great job!
Gluttony - have you ever over indulged?
The tasting menu at Alan Ducasse makes it impossible not to!
