Hi! I'm Alec (The weeping chef) Tomasso,
I appeared on MasterChef 2012. 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, 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 film crews, corporate events, weddings, Barbeques, street-food events or charity, 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 mobile catering, from wedding catering, Film catering, breakfasts, lunches, private chef dinners, to BBQ 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!
Recently I began to participate in events such as WingMania where I was awarded Game Changer wing and best dirty side, I've received a Gold Responsible food Award form Hertfordshire County Council.
