Tom Kerridge

[zetec]

Caught a bit of Saturday Kitchen this morning, one of the chefs looked and sounded familiar, I then realised, it was Tom Kerridge, he's lost ALOT of weight!!

He looks heavier than that.

[Pferdestarke]

I like him. He knows about flavour above everything else.

I think he light have a C63 AMG too so be must be alright.

[KP328]

He seams like a nice guy.

If he does have a c63 AMG i can't imagine it being to comfy for a bloke his size to drive, those seats are tight !

I thought the same. Voice was him but didn't look like him!

[grumbledoak]

Good to hear he's doing well; I've not eaten his food but love his attitude.

And, six stone is a big ol' beer belly to lug around. Well done on binning that, Tom!

[Melman Giraffe]

Must be tough losing that amount of weight working in a kitchen tasting food etc

[Granville]

He looks loads better and fair play to him for sticking it out and losing 6 stone.

I'd love to try his food. I know someone who could be his double, it's uncanny

He's knocked the booze on the head apparently and had a bit of a lifestyle change. We noticed on saturday that he appeared to have some skin pinned back by his ears which i guess would tie in with such significant weight loss of a man his size.
Seems like a genuinely nice bloke and does food that i really want to eat.

[Gandahar]

Has anyone been to his pub, what is the food like?

He's a bit of a Cinderella isn't he, seems really nice, sort of person who wouldn't give you a bksing if you worked for him. Too much.

[Shaw Tarse]

I think he's got an afternoon show on BBC?

[Granville]

Yep it's from the Saturday kitchen studio and live. My little one is usually having a nap then so I get to have a cuppa and watch it

He was on Chris Evans show this morning saying he had lost 7stone in 18 months. He said he knocked off the booze but just had 2 on NYE and stopped again at midnight.

What.. Skin pinned back by his ears. Not sure you are being serious. If you are why would he have his skin pinned back behind his ears because he has lost weight? Please don't answer that, just tell me you were joking.

Not quite sure how this happened but I was chatting to the chap who runs the local corner shop by my office and he said he had lost 6st recently and then proceeded to lift up his shirt and show me the corset type item he was wearing to keep the excess skin in place. It was quite shocking to see how much there was almost put my off my walkers max paprika..

Anyhow carry on.

The food in this new series seems more doable. The hay-stuff garbage from last season put me off a bit.

The food he makes is the sort I like too, proper food from ingredients you can get hold of.

I love watching Kerridge on the TV. In fact I love watching all kinds of food programmes - Man -v- Food, Drivers, Diners and Dives, Masterchef, etc...but Kerridge seems to appeal to me the most. As a chef, and as a clearly great bloke, bless him

Even if I've just had dinner, if I watch a cookery programme, I'm like "mmmm, bet that tastes amazing!!!"


But anyway - the point of posting was to share my restaurant mantra:

'Never trust a skinny chef!'
