Introducing our first ever North American Lafont brand ambassador. Our good friend Ron McKinlay is currently based in Toronto but travelling and cooking around the world. Ron has an incredible career to date having learnt his trade in Edinburgh, Scotland, where he worked for 4 years at , and subsequently moved to Australia where he was part of the team that opened Maze in Melbourne with Gordon Ramsay.
We caught up with Ron in Edinburgh for a fantastic four-hands dinner at The Little Chartroom where Ron and Roberta Hall took a trip down memory lane from when they worked together at Tom Kitchin.
The next day we got together at eòrna for the photo shoot with Ron where we took first ever shots of the new navy Basil jacket which launches later this summer. Huge thanks to Brian Grigor for allowing us to shoot in his beautiful restaurant.
Welcome to the family, Ron 👊🏼
As always, thanks to Olivia Brabbs 📸
