Top Manchester chef Simon Wood says life in kitchen can be 'just as intense' as the scenes on TV
TV shows like The Bear give chefs the respect they 'deserve' according to a top Manchester chef. Former MasterChef winner Simon Wood, 47, says the drama-filled kitchens on the show are true to life.
"It can be just as intense in real life. You get stressful moments where all the cheques arrive at once, or someone drops the sauce, burns the food and cuts their fingers.""The flare-ups between each other [are realistic]. Also, most definitely the shouting, swearing, raw intensity, you see in these programmes, I think, is all very factual - It's true to the life of a functioning kitchen.
He became a professional chef aged 38 in 2015 when he won the amateur version of MasterChef. Since then, he has opened two restaurants, WOOD on First Street in Manchester, opened in 2017, then, WoodKraft, in Cheltenham, which opened in 2018. WOOD Manchester was Michelin-recommended in 2019 and has won the double AA Rosette award.
"People don’t realise how tough it is - the pressure chefs are under is phenomenal," he said. "One of the most overlooked parts about being a chef is consistency.
