“I accidentally became a chef, but I was born a traveller.” Bobby Chinn
Guest: Chef Bobby Chinn is a true citizen of the world and his nomadic life journey has so far taken him from New Zealand to the Middle East via the UK, the US and South East Asia. With every new country he discovered a new culinary adventure, while at home his Sino-Egyptian heritage provided a deeper foundation for his interest in, and eventual passion for, all things ‘food’.
Over the last decade, Bobby has established himself as a mainstay of the global food-channel networks including Discovery TLC, MBC, Globe Trekker, Food Network, CNN, BBC, Channel 4 UK and UKTV, and in addition to World Café he has solo hosted Bobby Chinn Cooks Asia, Detox and Restaurant Bobby Chinn, for which he was nominated for ‘Best Reality Show - Executive Producer’ (Asia Television Awards, 2012).
As an expert on Asian and Middle Eastern cuisines, he has been regularly featured as a Guest Chef on Globe Trekker Food Hour, Saturday Kitchen, Full on Food, Sunday Brunch, Great Food Live, The Martha Stewart Show, The Big Eat, Bizarre Foods, and No Reservations. Bobby has worked alongside some of the world’s leading TV food personalities including Keith Floyd, Martha Stewart, Anthony Bourdain, Antony Worrall Thompson and Andrew Zimmern, and he is now a tenured expert judge on ‘Top Chef Middle East’, one of MBC’s highest rated programmes and the most popular culinary show across the Middle East and North Africa.
