Jock Zonfrillo Tribute

Jock was a good man to us. He'd just launched his first season as one of the new Masterchef judges, arguably the biggest show on Australian TV at the time, and he'd graciously sat down with us and shoot the breeze. 

We talked about his family and his upbringing, from and 11 year old kitchen worker to owner and head chef in one of Australia's premier restaurants.

You can hear from his first words on the show how humble he was, always happy to champion someone or something else over his own accolades. 

We knew him only briefly but he was always kind to us. We tossed up what to do when we heard the news and thought that  

Our thoughts are with his close friends and family.

We hope you can listen to this conversation, enjoy it and maybe get a laugh from a man gone far too soon in a time that is far too sad. 

A & S
