On this episode, I chat with Graham MacLennan. Graham MacLennan is a lawyer based in Vancouver, British Columbia. About 15 years ago, he started volunteering in restaurant kitchens to develop his cooking skills. From 2015 to 2017, Graham stepped completely away from the office world to travel and cook professionally. In Vancouver, he worked with the teams at Burdock & Co. and Harvest Community Foods. He cooked aboard the schooner Passing Cloud in the Great Bear Rainforest and Haida Gwaii with the eco-tourism team at Outer Shores Expeditions. As well, Graham considers himself very lucky to have cooked with some amazing chefs in his favourite city to visit, Las Vegas.
Graham returned to legal practice in 2017 and started his podcast Cheftimony to stay connected to the culinary world. Since he’s worked with many chefs and many lawyers over the years, those are the people Graham talks to most often on his show. While the chefs know the food best, the lawyers have lots to say on the topic!
In the episode, we discuss Graham's journey into learning how to cook in a professional kitchen. We discuss the similarities and differences of law and food. Graham shares advice on those questioning their own career journey and we chat about what the food world could learn from a more structured career path in law.
