Heston Blumenthal Makes World’s Most Expensive Sandwich
Heston Blumenthal Creates Million Dollar Sandwich
Heston Blumenthal has created the most expensive sandwich in the history of, well, sandwich making. We’re talking about a total development cost running into millions of pounds, including fuel.
The bacon sandwich is among a number of dishes, seven to be precise, which he created for Major Tim Peake (Major Peake is the UK’s first European Space Agency astronaut) to bring along to the International Space Station.
In an interview with the Radio Times Blumenthal said he was “incredulous that after all the billions of pounds invested in space travel, this rocket is taking cans of my food into space!”

Roger Verge – Chef Of The Sun – Is Dead
The very sad news of the passing Roger Vergé has just reached us. He was 85 years old and passed away on Friday 6th June 2015.
Vergé was known as one of France’s greatest chefs, especially for his updating of Classic French Mediterranean Cooking which became known as Cuisine of the Sun.
Vergé was born in Commentry (Allier) in 1930, and gets his first taste of serious cuisine with his aunt Celestine. He then commenced working in his hometown at Alexis Chanier at Le Bourbonnais.
He then worked in larger establishments, La Tour d’Argent, and at the Plaza Athénée in Paris. Then he joined Le Club de Cavalière, Var, a restaurant with two Michelin stars. He also gained culinary experience even further afield in Morocco, Algeria and Kenya.
The Most Brutally Honest Chef Job Advert Ever
A restaurateur/chef in Glasgow (that’s in Scotland) has attracted lots of attention by posting a Chef Job Ad that holds absolutely nothing back. He held so little back that the site hosting the Chef Job Ad [note link goes to our job board, we have to get a plug in for ourselves somewhere along the way too – the link to the actual chef job advert in context is provided toward the bottom of the article] has forced him to censor the ad.
Even censored though, the ad is eye wateringly honest. No chef turning up for an interview at this place could ever say he hadn’t be warned, and well warned, in advance about the, ahem, job challenges which lay ahead. Keep reading Chefs because the juicy details are coming. Anyway the job ad was for a Sous Chef and no amount of meta commentary by me can ever do justice to the advert itself, which we’ll be getting to very soon, that’s a promise.
