Tetsuya
Shot five years ago for a kitchen ad, it was lovely to spend an afternoon with one of Australia's, indeed, one of the world's greatest chef's. We got to eat the food! A highlight was some guy walking into the middle of my shoot (well, it was in the restaurant) and handing Tets a gym bag that clinked loudly.
Tets and this guy proceeded to pull about ten thousand dollars worth of wine out of the bag (I photographed some of the labels and showed a friend who whistled appreciatively - it was only a few bottles. Just that they were very good bottles).....unfortunately nothing got opened.
But this guy had just walked through customs calmly with all this wine (I think it might have been a gift from Charlie Trotter) and climbed in a taxi and come straight to the restaurant.
