Meet the Chef: Adrian Richardson

Adrian Richardson from Good Chef Bad Chef and La Luna, started cooking from a young age. 

Dropping out of school, Adrian started working in a kitchen to pay for flying lessons. After a while, he ended up doing an apprenticeship in the kitchen when flying didn’t take off.  

Coming from three generations of chefs, Adrian says he ‘was destined to cook.’

Travelling all over the world to get experience, Adrian opened his own bistro at 30 years old. 

‘Nothing can ever prepare you for opening a restaurant,’ he said.
