Our host Venessa Barnes, Australian Pork, is joined by Gary Johnson National Executive Chef ALH Group to discuss his culinary journey in this episode of Talking Pork and All Things Foodservice.
Gary is an award winning, Internationally recognised Chef with over 40 years of culinary experience and leadership in restaurants, pubs and hotels across several different countries.
Gary began his career in Queensland Hotels, where he completed his apprenticeship and then worked at several leading hotels and resorts. In 2011, Gary was awarded the NSW Hotel Association “Chef of the Year” and then the Australian Hotel Association (AHA) “National Chef of the Year”.
Gary’s culinary philosophy is focused on regional Australian produce and “simple excellence” in the kitchen. He believes that locally sourced, good-quality and sustainable produce is best served fresh; yet skilfully prepared to enhance its natural flavour and presentation. He also has fond memories and shared a special time in his life cooking with his grandmother which has played a large role in his culinary journey.
