My friends and family can tell you that I won’t stop talking about the show, so I won’t going on about it here (I could do a whole separate blog on the show,) but I will highly recommend you watch it! There are 3 judges; Matt Preston, Gary Mehigan and George Calombaris. The first two guys are British and George is Australian with Greek and Cypriot heritage.
Watching the show is a big commitment, it's on 5 nights a week for 3 months! I showed Charlotte an episode when she first moved in and she liked it. We've watched 3 series together and when the final is on we cook a fancy meal to celebrate.
Charlotte is in Australia for 3 weeks on holiday, and before she left she booked a table for her and her friend Hayley (who's out there travelling) at George’s restaurant The Press Club in Melbourne. She sent me a screenshot of the booking confirmation and I immediately thought; could I do something? As she's always been there for me through a pretty eventful 18 months.
I sent an email to The Press Club asking if there was anyway she could meet George. The customer service at the restaurant is brilliant and they got back to me within a few hours (given there was a time difference of course.) Unfortunately George was unavailable the day Charlotte was going for lunch, but they said as an alternative I could buy his recipe book and he would sign it for her.
So I made a call early last week in the early hours of the morning to pay for the book over the phone. And this morning I got a message from Charlotte with a picture of the signed book.
A big thank you to The Press Club and of course George Calombaris for signing the book and making The Press Club experience one to remember. And thanks to Hayley for her great pictures.
Now any idea as to what George has written?!?!
