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.

    since humans first started consuming bread and avocados, and before any documented or written history.

    So how do we know if it’s before documented history?

        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.
