President Barack Obama’s chef, Edwin Scholly, never attended any university for a degree programme. He embraced cooking instead as his first choice. But his career brought him fame and fortune in the past 20 years, such that he became a chef to George Bush, Bill Clinton, Obama and the Queen of England.
Scholly was in Lagos recently for this year’s 13-episode cooking competition, tagged ‘Making of the Chef’, a reality show organised by Rhodium Chef Global and Anchor Digital Media in partnership with Power Oil. He said his dream was to raise a national team for Nigeria that would compete in the Olympic Culinary Art.
Speaking on his qualification, he said: “I never saw the inside of any institute in my life. I never went to any university and today I teach in the university. Skills, discipline, understanding and common sense are vital for success in life. Everybody thinks he is a good chef but what makes the difference is skill and knowledge”.
