Ep 276 - From Pandemic to Pastry Powerhouse: The Tarts Anon Tale With Gareth Whitton from Tarts Anon

In this series we are re-releasing some of our most loved, talked about and interesting conversations. We hope you enjoy this episode.

Welcome to the Principle of Hospitality Podcast where we dive deeply into culinary arts with some of the most fascinating personalities. Join your host, Leon Kennedy, as he sits down with the elite operators of the culinary world.

In today's episode, we have a special guest who embodies the essence of a high-performance chef. If there were a West Point equivalent for chefs, he would be a two-time graduate. A pastry maestro who turns fine dining into art in tart shells, we are delighted to have Gareth Whitton, the founder of Tarts Anon.

Tarts Anon was born out of a lockdown and rapidly gained a cult following for its amazing tarts. While many are familiar with the story of Tarts Anon, the intriguing personal journey of Gareth remains a tale that has yet to be told. Today, we're excited to not only delve into the inception of Taron but also explore Gareth's unique story.

In this podcast Leon discusses…

-Kitchen Culture Shock - Hear about Gareth's first plunge into a high-pressure kitchen environment with its unique fashion and culture. A story that promises unexpected turns and an intense experience that will make you rethink your comfy shoes.

-Pushing Boundaries - Learn about how Gareth relentlessly chased challenging situations, all in an attempt to absorb as much knowledge as he could. A tale of not just skill, but a test of endurance and ambition.

-More Than a Glittering CV - Uncover the truth behind Gareth's illustrious resume. Hear about his motivation which wasn't about achieving a stellar CV but gaining invaluable culinary experience. A perspective that challenges the traditional notions of success.
