#133 Dan Briggs | Chin Chin

Dan Briggs is the loveliest guy, a gentle giant with two great passions; his family (including a brand new and super cute puppy he got for Father’s Day) and his job as Executive chef at Chin Chin. Dan has been part of the Chin Chin family for his whole career, which says a lot about the kind of environment the Lucas Group creates, and also about Dan’s loyalty. I went in to Chin Chin on Flinder’s Lane on a Wednesday afternoon and it was pumping. I think it is always pumping. We talked about the phenomenon of this sort of popularity, as well as advice for young people thinking about becoming a chef, and Dan gave me a behind the scenes tour of Chin Chin, which I of course absolutely loved. I don’t know if you know this, but the kitchens at Chin Chin are tiny. They put out so much food every service and it is a party in the restaurant and an absolutely perfectly choreographed and organised magic place out the back. I loved every minute of my chat to Dan and I know you will love listening to it.
