Chef quits in burger and chips row
Posted: Thu Feb 11, 2010 5:40 amThe head chef of a Michelin starred British restaurant has walked out after the owner demanded he change his menu from haute cuisine to burger and chips.
Ryan Simpson told Tuesday how he was delighted when The Goose in rural Oxfordshire was awarded one of the coveted stars on January 15, marking it as one of the top restaurants in the country.
But less than a month later the 27-year-old hung up his apron and took four other staff members with him after the owner asked them to move from serving scallops with veal sweetbreads, one of its specialities, to food normally served in pubs.
