WHAT THE GUESTS SAID
Alicia Parker, representing Alaska Seafood Marketing Institute at the lunch commented 'It's the first one for a few years and it's been fantastic, a great selection of chefs to talk to, a great, great people to network with. Really, really enjoyed it.
Obviously you've got a really high quality selection of chefs that have been here today and it's such an amazing product and it's really important for us to get that out into the right hands. It's been a really great opportunity and Josh and his team have done a fantastic job with the Black Cod'
As a chef invited to the lunch, Tim Blake from Restaurant Associates for the Google account said: 'It's been great to meet and mix with different suppliers and chefs - some people haven't seen for a very long time. It's been very good.
It's nice because the sponsors have been moving around every after every course. So it's been a good opportunity that everyone gets some time in front of everybody.'
