TV chef George Calombaris wants to put wage scandal behind him

·

Seven years after television chef and hospitality mogul, George Calombaris found himself in the centre of a million-dollar wage scandal that cost him his house and reputation, he has expressed he is ready to get back to who he is at his “core.”

“I only knew high, I only knew how to be at the top and then, suddenly, overnight bang! And it was a big reality check,” Calombaris said in an A Current Affair video.

Calombaris disclosed he’s still a work in progress after the “lesson [he] needed”, but he’s prepared to “get back up and have another crack.”

“You can take whatever you want away from me, house, cars, money whatever… But there’s one thing you can never take away – I’m a chef at heart, that’s who I am,” Calombaris added.

“At its core, I’m still George, I’m still the cook and I love it, I love it.”
