My family has run a shop near Pollokshields for years, so I grew up seeing how varied Glasgow's food actually is beyond the usual mentions of pies and Irn-Bru. On camera I like taking people through the city's tikka masala story, since the dish's claimed origins say something real about how the city's communities have shaped each other. I trained in hospitality management before guiding, which helps when I'm explaining a kitchen's workings on camera rather than just describing a menu. I try to keep sessions honest about which claims are proven and which are just good stories.
