<p>Liz Ward speaks to Matt Healy, award winning chef, restaurateur and Masterchef The Professionals runner up.</p><br><p>Matt shares his career journey, from training with some inspiring mentors and then how he left a top restaurant in London to be closer to his family and applied to Masterchef for a bit of a laugh. There were twists, turns and lots of points where he could have given up on his career in the kitchen yet Matt kept going. And keeps going.&nbsp;We talk about mentors, self belief and what it's like to be in the public eye.</p><br><p>Matt and his team have opened 3 food venues in the last two years, Matt Healy x The Foundry has won loads of awards including Britain’s Best Roast Dinner, Best City Centre Restaurant (in Leeds) and a Michelin plate. His Grön Kafé, his vegetarian and vegan concept now has two sites.</p><br><p>Matt is really inspiring and a great guest. As we are currently in the middle of a global pandemic, this interview comes in two parts.</p><p><br></p><ul><li><strong>Part One (this one) “Matt’s pivot journey from Chef to Restaurateur”</strong>, recorded pre-corona lockdown&nbsp;</li><li><strong>Part Two - “Matt’s Lockdown Pivot”,</strong> where we explore what Matt did when the pandemic forced the restaurant to close and how he is spreading joy to the frontline NHS staff with his famous Sunday Roasts.&nbsp;And what he is thinking for the future.</li></ul><p><br></p><p>I really enjoyed making these two episodes with Matt.
