Conrad cooks up a new life in Africa

Celebrity big mouth chef Conrad Gallagher has packed his bags for a new life in South Africa.

The Michelin-starred chef — who was found not guilty of stealing paintings from a major Dublin hotel — has revealed how he is revelling in his newfound anonymity as he works at some of the top hotels in his new home of Cape Town.

The celebrity cook moved to the country after being accused of stealing three paintings from the Fitzwilliam Hotel where he ran one of Ireland’s top restaurants.

Although he was found not guilty the talented cook decided he had had enough and packed his bags to start a new life over there.

He is now married to a local woman and works as the Group Executive Chef and Restaurant Consultant for the Sun International Resorts Group and on a freelance basis for some of the top hotels in the area.

Industry sources know about his past but they are so impressed with his work that it doesn’t bother them.
