Fred Sirieix: A Life Through Food
Fred Sirieix, the French ma卯tre d' shares his passion for hospitality with Jaega Wise, and discusses how we change the perception of Front of House roles in the UK.
Fred Sirieix, the French ma卯tre d鈥� joins Jaega Wise to share his 鈥楲ife Through Food鈥� and passion for hospitality. It鈥檚 been a decade since Fred started to appear on television, and he鈥檚 best known for being the Front of House on the long-running Channel 4 series First Dates. But before that, Fred had reached the top of his profession working in some of London鈥檚 most prestigious restaurants, and has been flying the flag for Front of House roles since he left catering college.
Fred has presented and co-hosted many programmes, including Million Pound Menu, Remarkable Places to Eat, Michel Roux鈥檚 Service and Gordon, Gino and Fred: Road Trip. In a world full of celebrity chefs, Fred has become Britain鈥檚 only famous ma卯tre d鈥�, and his role on television is helping to raise the profile of Front of House jobs.
In this programme, Fred takes us back to his upbringing and training which installed his passion for hospitality. He discusses why he thinks Front of House roles are perceived differently in the UK compared to France, and tells Jaega more about the art of hospitality which is essential to the success of any restaurant business. Jaega also speaks to Fred鈥檚 friend and former boss, chef Michel Roux Jr, and we hear about Fred's quest to demystify wine.
