Vinegar Tits 606 Posted August 29, 2018 Only just found this out; very surprised it didn't get more coverage: Farmhouse Kitchen cook Grace Mulligan died in July aged 91. Obviously a well-known name in Yorkshire, I think by the time Grace took over presenting in 1983 Farmhouse Kitchen was syndicated across all the regions. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

charon 4,943 Posted November 28, 2018 Andrew Algren , "one of Chicago's top Sommeliers has died". Was a Star Chefs 'Rising Star' earlier this year. https://chicago.eater.com/2018/11/28/18116063/andrew-algren-cherry-circle-room-sommelier-dead-adam-gueldener-edge-sweetness-bakery-food-network * reason for posting despite him not being a chef as such, is for fucktards like me who haver never heard of the word and to save them Googling it. Its yer wine waiter basically, wiki has " Sommeliers Australia states that the role is strategically on par with that of the chef de cuisine." Aye right then.
