This makes my day~ South African chef @Cooked_Mike that really understands the value of authenticity in #sustainable claims ~ talk is easy but walking this road takes time & vision as we know @longtablect @WWFSASSI @Eat_Out #SustainableRestaurantAward

“Low plastic stool, cheap but delicious noodles, cold Hanoi beer.” This is how I’ll remember Tony. He taught us about food — but more importantly, about its ability to bring us together. To make us a little less afraid of the unknown. We’ll miss him.
