Top chefs to get a grilling at ScotHot23’s Staff Canteen Live

NEXT MONTH’S ScotHot hospitality trade show at Glasgow’s SEC will see the return of its popular Staff Canteen Live, where the hottest Scottish Chefs will be interviewed as they cook live on stage, revealing the secrets and stories of their careers.

The line-up of celebrated culinary talent taking to the stage this year will include Tom Kitchin, chef owner of The Kitchin; Kaori Simpson, chef owner of Harajuku Kitchen; Calum Montgomery, chef owner of Edinbane Lodge; Paul Wedgwood, chef owner of Wedgwood the Restaurant; Adam Handling, owner of Adam Handling Restaurant Group; Roy Brett, chef owner of Ondine; Graeme Cheevers, chef patron of Michelin-starred Unalome; and Stuart Ralston, chef owner of Aizle and Noto.

Hosted by culinary networking website The Staff Canteen, the live stage will allow these professionals to showcase their Michelin-starred dishes during interactive demonstrations, share recipe guidance and cooking tips, and answer questions about their restaurants, careers, and food philosophy.

Managing director of The Staff Canteen, Mark Morris, said: “We’re always glad to bring The Staff Canteen Live to ScotHot to showcase the unique talents that make Scottish cuisine great, and bring their knowledge and expertise to the public.

“The interactive, informal nature of these demonstrations means guests can gain a personal first-hand experience of what it takes to create a Michelin starred meal, and take that unique knowledge back to their own kitchens.”

Managing director of 365 Events, the team behind ScotHot23, Toby Wand, said: “The live demonstrations and conversations with chefs with Staff Canteen at ScotHot have historically been one of the best opportunities to gain access to the biggest names in the business and get a glimpse at how they approach their craft. This year’s programme is set to be one of the best yet.”

ScotHot2023 will take place at Glasgow’s SEC on March 8 and 9. The full programme of Staff Canteen Live is available to view on the ScotHot website: https://www.scothot.co.uk/whats-on/the-staff-canteen-live-2023
