Top chef Ben Shewry on misogyny, critics and hot chips

Ben Shewry is one of Australia’s top chefs who’s behind the world renowned restaurant Attica.

He started working at a local restaurant in New Zealand at just 10 years old after sending out letters pleading his case to become a chef.

In his new memoir, Uses For Obsession, Shewry exposes the misogyny, harassment, and toxic culture ingrained in hospitality.

In this chat with Antoinette Lattouf, Ben reveals why he wrote a whole chapter on hot chips and how one of the most telling things about a person is the way they treat waitstaff.
