Celebrity Chef + Big Time Journalist + Cameragrrrl

Paul Durman, Marco Pierre White & Kathy Johnson, originally uploaded by kathyjohnson.

This was taken our last evening in London. It is one of a few shots I took that evening (along with some choice video which will remain unpublished... for now!).

Paul and I met at Lucianos, a swanky restaurant in London, very near the Ritz Hotel and St. James Street (near the Prince's and Queen's respective residences... aka, palaces). We caught up over a drink before being joined by Marco Pierre White, celebrity chef most known for being the youngest recipient of 3 Michelin stars in the world!

Marco (middle) is the owner of Luciano's, which is named after one of his sons. He also owns a few other restaurants in London, and his name graces a line of high-end cookery pans. Most recently, his autobiography - White Slave - was released in London and you can soon purchase it here in the states as well (coming out in January).

Marco is a great guy (despite what the press says) and is always good for a load of fun. This evening, he gave us a very theatrical demonstration of how to shoot sambuca. It was hilarious! But even more amusing was watching Paul, Dominic and Sunil replicate the shot (there was no way I was going to!). More on that later ;-)
