Andrew Richardson began his illustrious career in Newcastle at the Michelin-starred 21 Queen Street, followed by a stint at Brasserie 21, which won the Michelin Bib Gourmand rating. Other career highlights include Vancouver's stellar restaurants, Cioppino's and West, and Northern California's, Carter House Inn (Eureka), and the famed French Laundry.
