27. Coffee with Shaun Hergatt — Every chef has their own DNA (even you!)
May 29, 2024 · 44 min
In this episode of the Scoolinary podcast, we get curious about “billy coffee” from Shaun Hergatt’s native Australia. He shares the story of his enviable upbringing in Mossman, on the northeast coast of Queensland, which had all the ingredients (quite literally) for him to become a world-renowned chef. Hunting, fishing, and gardening were all part of his childhood, but it’s what he has to say about his grandmother that hints at the many Michelin stars to come. You’ll be surprised to learn that he’s not the most talented chef, according to him, but he will tell you how he’s managed to start — and maintain — several highly successful restaurants around the U.S. You might be fooled into thinking that others saw something in him that he didn’t see in himself but that’s only because he lacks this one thing that’s often associated with chefs in his stratosphere. See if you can tell what that is.If you want to know more about us, go to https://www.scoolinary.com/?utm_source=podcastWe are waiting for you on our social networks:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/scoolinary_en/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Scoolinary You can get more information about Shaun's online course, Tasting Menu Design, at https://www.scoolinary.com/courses/tasting-menu-design
