Gavan Murphy, an Irish chef, runs The Healthy Irishman catering company in Los Angeles.
In honor of St. Patrick’s Day, here he is touring Darina Allen‘s The Ballymaloe Cookery School in Shanagarry, County Cork, Ireland.
Briefly: "A super chef is an empire-building celebrity chef."
Detailed: "A number of ingredients go into making Super Chefs. Their businesses reach geographically outside one city and beyond restaurants into other businesses. They are celebrated for their cooking talents and bedazzling, media-savvy ways. They manage large businesses, building brand names and personal wealth unheard of before among chefs. Their business empires are enduring."

Gavan is one of my favorites! His relaxed, jovial style make his videos a pleasure to watch.
I’ve watched a lot of Food Network chefs who make pretty food, but when I try the recipes, they’re boring and tasteless and I swear never to make another recipe from them. Several of Gavan’s recipes are now staples in my house. Not only is the food healthy and fun to cook, but the results are delicious!
Got my fingers crossed that someone on the Food Network spots him and gives him a show. He’s a delightful, talented man!
