What It Takes To Open Your Own Restaurant | Clare Smyth, Chef and Owner of Core

Chef and owner of the year-old restaurant, Core, Clare Smyth is one of the industries most awarded chefs. As the head chef of Restaurant Gordon Ramsay, Smyth earned three Michelin stars and was made a Member of the Order of the British Empire for her contributions to British cuisine.
Smyth confronts what it takes to bridge the gap between our vision and dreams, and what reality deems possible. Touching on leadership, criticism, and solitude, Smyth shares her discovery that the rewards are never guaranteed, but there is something magical about creating a place that is your own and watching people embrace it.

I used to sell The Big Issue at the tesco metro a few doors down from the Gordon Ramsey restaurant on the royal hoapital road where she worked and spoke of in ths video when I was homeless, and Claire Smyth when having a moment to come out and have a short break, she would always be modest,, classy, genuine, with non of that do you know who i am nonsense. she is someone i always thought was humble enough to say hello to somone like me who was at the time living literally on the streets, her success is well deserved and she is someone who has earnt her success and has that way about her that I respect immensely.

Wonderful heart felt talk Clare! The UK is not pro-business. We like to bash people down and celebrate mediocrity. If the UK valued wealth creation it would introduce tax incentives to stop wealth leaving this country.

this chef is rock hard. Clare paved her way not by preaching the classic "i'm a woman in a kitchen with guys so it's harder" She did it with fucking strength and passion and I'm sure she can be a bit of a Marco some times. Super talented chef
