Tommy Heaney is the chef owner of Heaney's in Cardiff.
The chef wound up working in a kitchen when his mum, a schoolteacher, sent him to the US to work with his uncle in an attempt to temper his unruly behaviour.

We spoke to Tommy about his rapid ascent to the position of head chef and his decision to go back and stage in Michelin Star restaurants, before finally opening his own restaurant. He told us about the people that were influential in making him the chef he is today, what they taught him and what he tries to pass on to his own chefs.
