“For most of human history, cooking with fire was the one and only way to cook a meal!” 

This episode of untold is with Western Australian Affable Chef Dave Pynt. 

Chef Pynt has one of the longest resumes of culinary accomplishments in the restaurant business and in just over an hour, he talks us through his staging, London pop-ups, building BBQs, formative experiences as well as taking us through his approach to life, business and to how he runs his exceptional kitchens and restaurants. 

Chef Pynt talks about some of his experiences in St John, Noma, Tetsuya and at Asador Etxebarri – the latter really allowing him to revisit how he thought about BBQ, a genuine realization that dishes created through ‘cooking by fire’, could still be delicious, high-end and were not solely the reserve for large gatherings of family and friends.

Chef Pynt remains humble and as likeable as they come. Burnt Ends has since its opening become a Singapore institution, winning a Michelin Star when the guide came to the little Red Dot and in the latest awards, Burnt Ends was named the 34^th best restaurant in the World by San Pelligrino.

Despite the continued plaudits and kudos from industry bastions – at home in Perth with family, Chef Pynt’s father runs the BBQ and has no intention of passing over the baton anytime soon. Long may this continue.
