The James Beard Experience – behind the scenes

I had the absolute privilege to go “backstage” and see Chef Chris Mills and his impressive team in action, plating our 6 course dinner.  I hope you enjoy the photos.

Oh, and in case the amount of people honing in on every single dish going out to 50 people isn’t impressive enough, the event space, The Burroughes Building, has no kitchen. It’s just an empty space, so Chef Mills and his team were cooking on induction cooker elements!

Thanks to everyone for allowing me this glimpse into the backstage. I will never forget it.

Tomorrow, the final installation – an introduction to the men behind this evening: James Beard and Chef Chris Mills.
