Thanks for the mention and your words in that monster of a roundup last week 😁
On the note of Bill, he still had massive cache in Australia; people here proud of what he took to the world, but also what he did to define a casual culture that happily pervades our food.
I wouldn't take Neil's comment as passive aggressive. I think it's perhaps him saying Bill's power was that he didn't have that rigid chef-trained outlook, and that being a self taught cook allowed him to do his own thing. As far as I'm aware in the early 90s he was telling people in the industry to go to the original bills (note the 90s shunning on capitals and apostrophe). And Neil's outlook these days is less CBD steakhouse (Rockpool) and more neighbourhood (albeit upscale) local (Margaret's in Rose Bay, Baker Bleu).
