Hamish BlakeÂ

'Powerful, vulnerable, intense, full of love and some darkness too.'Â
Matty Matheson, chef, author, producer and actorÂ

Chef and restaurateur Ben Shewry knows obsession well. Whether it's crispy-edged lasagne, saltwater crocodile ribs or the perfect potato, obsession is what motivates him and what makes him tick. It's also what has propelled his Melbourne restaurant Attica into the league of the most innovative, acclaimed dining experiences in the world, and one of the most vital in Australian history.

In this absorbing and wide-ranging memoir meets manifesto, Shewry applies his sometimes searing, sometimes comic eye to creative freedom in the kitchen, food journalism, sexism in hospitality, the fraud of the farm-to-table sustainability ethos, the cult of the chef, cooking as muse and the legendary Family Bolognese.

Raised on a farm in a close-knit rural New Zealand family, he shares how a childhood surrounded by nature and a reverence for First People's cultures has influenced his work, the values he lives by, and the meticulous, inventive multi-course menu that is synonymous with Attica.
 Uses for Obsession also tells the intimate, desperate story of how Attica survived 262 days with an empty dining room. How, during a time of epic hospitality transformation, it morphed into a takeaway food business, a merch shop and a summer camp. He was told it couldn't be done and that doubt both tortured and drove him.

At its heart, this is a positive story, an antidote to the macho chef culture that thrives on old ideas about leadership and success. Shewry prosecutes the compelling case for a new way forward. A bold blueprint for the restaurant - and workplace - of the future. One built on kindness, community, truth and a commitment to never giving up.

Beware the shrinkage

This shirt came looking as expected and the quality was good but it ran a bit small. I had to give it to my dad and it looks great on him!

NOT EVEN CLOSE ON SIZE!!
Size: XX-Large, Color: Light Blue
I'm not a small guy...im rather robust like a good Italian dressing..and this shirt is 100% disproportionately wrong! If your thinking 3xl sounds good for the price DONT BUY IT!! At best this is an XL t-shirt with a 3XL tag. I can't return it because I immediately cut tags off my shirts..I know weird right lol. Anyway hopefully you read this and like ex-relationships you 'MOVE-ON'!!!!!
