Rumour has it that he makes the best chips you have ever eaten.
I haven't tried this method yet, but for a Chef to be voted the best restaurant in the world... perhaps its something to try sometime.
Tripled cooked chips
First cook the chips in some water until they're almost falling apart. Drain them off and put them in the fridge.
When they're cold, cook them in groundnut oil at 130c until they take on a dried appearance, and before any colour. Put them in the fridge again.
Cook them in oil or kidney fat at 190c
