Hi! I'm Alec (The weeping chef) Tomasso,
I appeared on Masterchef in 2012, at the time I was a building engineering manager with a passion for cooking. Being on the show gave me the opportunity and drive to change my career, and after staging in several restaurants and private venues I did a pop-up in Bedford after which I began to do street-food and private dining.
It's now been over 10 years and I'm still having a blast, whether I'm cooking for corporate events, weddings, Barbeques, or street-food events, my ethos stays the same; High quality produce, sourced locally, cooked expertly, and delivered with a smile! (unless I'm really focused 😅)
During the pandemic I cooked and delivered meals for the NHS, and built a mobile kitchen out of an old horse trailer (with history and character) which I use to deliver everything from breakfasts, lunches, dinners, to BBQs and street-food but worry not if you have no space for a trailer at your event the DoBQ my firepit BBQ is great for that garden party!
A new offering I have available is the catered weekend, if you're planning to rent a house, lodge, villa, etc, you will be able to enjoy your self catering retreat with me cooking your bespoke meals, just provide me with my own room and I'll take care of the food, it's a great alternative to renting hotels for staff training and an ideal solution for that weekend family get-together.
2024 marked the prestigious Craft Guild of Chefs 30th anniversary,
and the first year in which street-food has been recognised and given it's own award. It was a huge honour to be shortlisted as a finalist for such a highly prestigious event attended by over 800 of the leading figures of the Hospitality Industry
