Chef Mutaro | ...on opportunities, challenges and triumphs

In this week's episode, Louisa and the Fantastic Fo speak to Chef Mutaro, a Senegal born Parisian who moved to Hong Kong 8 years ago to take on what would later become the restaurant capital of the world.
Mutaro is Executive Chef & General Manager at Le Comptoir Group, which has 5 venues across the city, and he shares with us his journey from Senegal to Hong Kong, with many amazing pitstops along the way.
A sprawling tale that takes us from the Talibe in Senegal, to the restaurant scene in Paris with Alain Ducasse, to London with Joël Robuchon, before a casual stint in Lebanon and then finally Hong Kong.
Such an inspirational story of struggle, hard work, and triumph, and a special insight into the little known Talibe in Senegal. We hope you enjoy listening to this one as much as we did making it.
Enjoy!
