We recently received this press release from Fagor in Australia regarding the EL TORO LOCO TAPAS BAR in Manly. “My paella is one of the best in the whole of Australia" Interview with MIGUEL MAESTRE: Australian customer, owner of EL TORO LOCO CORPORATION He started cooking at the age of 21, and since then has not stopped working, or moving, on an international pilgrimage that ended up in Australia, where he worked with the top chefs in the country before setting up on his own. In addition to taking part in television programmes and writing cookery books, he has now gone on to open a new Spanish beach-front restaurant called “EL TORO LOCO TAPAS BAR” But even here, on the other side of the planet, there was no doubt when it came to choosing the brand of equipment for his restaurant. HOW DID A SPANISH CHEF DECIDE TO OPEN A RESTAURANT IN AUSTRALIA? Well the truth is, although it might seem a bit strange, it was for love. Before I was a chef in the UK, and I met my girlfriend in Scotland. Shortly afterwards we decided to move to the beaches of Australia. WHAT PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE DID YOU HAVE BEFORE SETTING UP HERE? Since I arrived in Sydney, I’ve worked in the best kitchens in the country. For example, I’ve worked with Ed Halamgy in Cru Restaurant and Beach Road, and also with Serge Dainsereau, at Bathers Pavillion. My last executive chef was Manu Feildel, when we both worked for the most famous chef in Australia, Tony Bilson. Finally, it felt like it was time to work for myself and I decided to open El Toro Loco Corporation, which up to now has two tapas bars, one in Sussex Street, Sydney, and another in Manly Beach, on the beach in the north of Sydney. WHAT TYPE OF COOKING WILL YOU OFFER IN YOUR NEW RESTAURANT, AND WHEN WILL IT OPEN? We plan to open at Christmas, and as for the cooking, it is of course going to be Spanish, with special emphasis on Murcian cooking: lots of tapas, rice and fish, and also lots of homemade sausages. WOULD YOU SAY THAT SPANISH COOKING IS REALLY WELL KNOWN IN AUSTRALIA? WHAT DO AUSTRALIANS THINK ABOUT IT? They do know about it, but perhaps in too vague a way. You find lots of messing about, lots of aberrations of our most typical dishes. But bit by bit people are beginning to find out what chorizo, jamón, mojama and even churros are. And paella, of course; I have patented my own paella, paella a la Maestre, which although I shouldn’t say so myself, is one of the best in the whole country. WHAT ARE IN YOUR OPINION THE CHARACTERISTICS THAT RESTAURANT EQUIPMENT NEED TO OFFER TOP QUALITY SERVICE? I would say that the most important thing is for it to last a long time, to be strong, that it can withstand the intensity of the day-today operation of a professional kitchen. The features are also very important, and of course, the heating power and appearance. WHY DID YOU DECIDE ON FAGOR INDUSTRIAL WHEN IT CAME TO EQUIPPING YOUR RESTAUARANT? For several reasons: first it’s a Spanish brand; second it has really impressive features and third, the heating power we talked about before, which in Fagor’s case is very high. What’s more, the monobloc appearance looks really good; I’d say that there’s nothing else like it on the market. WHAT DO YOU THINK THAT FAGOR INDUSTRIAL OFFERS YOU COMPARED TO THE COMPETITION? Even here, on the other side of the world, Fagor offers me the support of a trusted brand, with 24 hour service, seven days a week and cover all over Australia. And there are two professionals like Andrew Sinclair and Xavier Poirier in charge who really couldn’t look after me better. You can see the Fagor Industrial product range at the Sydney Commercial Kitchens website.

She believes that good quality restaurant food should not be wasted while hungry people starve. So she did something about it. Six years later, Ms Kahn has been awarded Australia's Local Hero for 2010. The OzHarvest charity currently helps 163 charities in Sydney, Canberra and Wollongong. But now she has another ambition - to help the hungry in every Australian city. "It's unconscionable that that food should not go to good hungry mouths," the Sydney woman told reporters in Canberra. "There is food going to waste in every major city, every single day and there are people who are going hungry and people who could benefit from this." To make her program work, Ms Kahn's legal team lobbied NSW, the ACT, Queensland and South Australia to change their laws so food could be given away without fear of liability. She is hoping a change in other state laws will enable her program to go national. Congratulations Ronni and well done.

If "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery" as said by Charles Caleb Colton then I guess I should feel flattered. Crown Commercial Group continue to use our business name, Sydney Commercial Kitchens, in their online marketing and press releases.
On their press release at articleblast.com titled "Famous Sydney Commercial Kitchens" they espouse 'Sydney Commercial Kitchens are a booming business and in such a competitive market restaurants need to differentiate themselves.' I have to agree with them. In fact Sydney Commercial Kitchens is a booming business and I guess this is why people try to capitalise on the success of my business name, Sydney Commercial Kitchens and the great rankings on Google that our website http://www.sydneycommercialkitchens.com.au achieves. Surely, if restaurants need to differentiate themselves then catering equipment supply companies probably need to as well. I mean it make sense doesn't it! There are so many great ways to market yourself these days online that it is probably more effort to imitate than to establish your own viable marketing plan. Sydney Commercial Kitchens is the premier website for catering equipment in Australia and the hospitality industry. We supply catering equipment to restaurants, clubs, cafes, general business and the hospitality industry. Click here http://www.sydneycommercialkitchens.com.au to visit our website now.
