SAN FRANCISCO – Bill Granger, the Australian chef, food writer and restaurant owner who brought Aussie-style food to international capitals from London to Seoul, has died. He was 54.
Granger’s family said on social media Tuesday that the chef died in a hospital in London on Christmas Day.
“A dedicated husband and father, Bill died peacefully in hospital with his wife Natalie Elliott and three daughters, Edie, Ins and Bunny, at his bedside in their adopted home of London,” the family statement said. It gave no further details.
Born in 1969 in Melbourne, Australia, Granger was a self-taught cook who launched a chef’s career over three decades after dropping out of art school. He opened his first restaurant in 1993 in the Sydney suburb of Darlinghurst, where he soon became known for his breakfasts served at a central communal table.
Did he really though?

Do you deny that there has been a massive growth in the worldwide popularity of “avocado toast” in the past few decades?
I think “to the world” in this context means to a larger audience of people who had never heard of it before and didn’t live in a area where it was a common thing. So possibly yes. Or maybe no. Probably a shared effort either way.
So how do we know if it’s before documented history?
When you try to read the epic of gilgamesh and the first 5 pages describe how to pick ripe avocados smh
But that’s documented?
It’s documented in early human works and there’s nobody who wrote about discovering it in those early human works.
Actually, nobody discovered it until this chef guy apparently.
Right but I’m not talking about discovering it, I’m talking about: how do we know humans have been consuming it “before any documented or written history” if there’s no record of it? Archaeologists found ancient leftovers? Just curious.
There’s no written history of humans breathing before the Bible was written. Checkmate, atheists.
