He's been on my list of people to chat to since the very first show, but I finally got to sit down with Bertus Basson for a conversation that was totally not kak. We first met when I shot a portrait of a young chef who was shaking up the restaurant scene in Cape Town back in 2008. We've known each other 16 years and he is a friend I respect and admire even though we don't see each other much because he has a family, seven restaurants, a catering company, a pig and a bunch of dogs. We spoke about the journey, a little about being a media persona, motorbikes, Land Rovers - and a fair amount about food and running restaurants. I didn't want it to end, but it had to and we sat down after the recording and shared a pizza. What a guy! Bertus is truly one of the best of us.
