TIM BURTON

CHEF

“My first restaurant job was at Sir George’s Smorgasbord in LA — $4.99 all you can eat. ‘All you can stomach’ was more like it. I lost a Band-aid once when I was making a Thousand Island salad dressing — which was the same colour as my Band-aid — so some poor customer got that. We were making flesh-coloured salad dressing. The restaurant no longer exists, although not because of that. It closed for other reasons.”
