Lots of happenings at Spikes this year~
At one seminar, Grey Group Asia Pacific’s Chairman & CEO Nirvik Singh
will be chatting with internationally acclaimed chef, restauranteur,
author and TV presenter Bobby Chinn on his road to global culinary
success, and will then draw parallels to the creative and
communications industry.
Larger than life and highly engaging with his own inimitable style,
Chinn is a celebrity chef who is truly global. Born in New Zealand to
a Chinese father and an Egyptian mother, he was schooled in England,
and honed his culinary skills under top chefs in San Francisco,
Bordeaux and Paris, as well as under both his grandmothers. Based in
Vietnam for the past 15 years, he runs the iconic, internationally
lauded Restaurant Bobby Chinn in Hanoi.
The restaurant is now located within his house, and working with the
Blue Dragon organisation, Chinn recently converted much of the
operation into a training ground for disadvantaged children. At the
same time, he is in the midst of opening his new flagship restaurant
in the heart of District 1, Saigon, the process of which is being
filmed as a TV series with Discovery TLC.
Chinn is also the host of a number of popular culinary TV shows and
has made numerous TV appearances worldwide.
Whoever said the business of creative advertising is not entertaining
was wrong!!!
