About this listen
He's cooked for Taylor Swift. Jennifer Lopez. And almost became a neuroscientist?
In this episode, Anna sits down with Nathan Ng - sous chef at TOCA inside the Ritz Carlton Toronto - who walked away from the "perfect" academic path as a neuroscience student at the University of Toronto to chase something far less certain... and at times, more brutal.
This is less of a polished success story and more about what it actually looks like to choose a different life.
Join them as they get into:
- What it really takes to drop out of the best university in the country at the age of 18 when everyone expects you to stay
- The weight of immigrant expectations and what happens when you don't follow them
- The uncomfortable truth about the commodification of Chinese cuisine
- Being an Asian chef in elite, European-dominated kitchens
- The "open secret" of substance abuse in the hospitality industry
