Good morning, and welcome back to the Scoop podcast. Working in hotels and restaurants over the past few years, I’ve had the chance to serve and meet many incredible people in the industry. While helping open the Mandarin Oriental Mayfair, I crossed paths with Kyle Lynch, the head chef of Ormer. In this episode, Kyle shares how studying away from home and working in the United States shaped his independence and confidence as a young chef. We dive into the dedication it takes to rise to the top in the kitchen, the intense physical and mental demands of hospitality, and how his culinary journey has led him back to a menu deeply connected to his Irish roots.
I’m Stella, and I’m going to take you out for dinner.
