  • Media Release for Immediate Release GUY CLARK RETURNS to CAPE
    Media Release For immediate release GUY CLARK RETURNS TO CAPE TOWN AS NEW EXECUTIVE CHEF AT TINTSWALO ATLANTIC Tintswalo Lodges enters an exciting new culinary chapter with the appointment of Guy Clark (36) as Executive Chef at Tintswalo Atlantic in Cape Town. Clark only recently returned to his hometown, having honed his skills in India and Florida (USA) for the past four years. He takes over from Jeantelle van Staden, who remains with Tintswalo in her new role as Food & Beverage Manager. Guy Clark will introduce an innovative new approach to the cuisine at Tintswalo Atlantic, and is aiming to cater not only for hotel guests, but to make it the go-to restaurant for Capetonians. ‘I would like to offer diners a new perspective on food and a unique taste experience, with dishes that are simple yet sophisticated, and beautifully presented.’ Growing up in Cape Town, Guy Clark’s culinary career took a different path to that of many other chefs. Entirely self-taught, he had a passion for cooking from a young age, but only considered taking it up professionally at the age of 30, when he competed in the first season of MasterChef South Africa in 2012 – and ended up finishing in the top 11. It gave him the motivation he needed to quit his day job at an auctioneer company and follow his dreams. After a stint as a chef at the Madame Zingara restaurant group in Cape Town, he decided to spread his wings and travel the globe, defining his style while learning from masters of the trade.
