"I Was an Accidental Chef" | Raphael Duntoye

In this episode, we sit down with chef, restaurateur and entrepreneur Raphael Duntoye.

Raphael shares his journey from studying engineering and working as a kitchen porter to training under legendary chef Pierre Koffmann, working at Zuma, and becoming Founder, Chef Patron and Partner of LPM.

After his exit from LPM, Raphael began a new chapter with his latest venture, Gio Gio’s in Milan, where he is Founder, Chef Patron and Owner. For Raphael, it represents not just a new restaurant, but a new venture, a new start, and the beginning of a new life.

We talk about ambition, mentorship, starting again, family, and the lessons he’s learned throughout his career.

“Nothing is impossible.”
