Graham Kerr's adventure
Before chefs as rock stars, the 1960’s Galloping Gourmet, Graham Kerr, invented the genre. His sizzling TV persona enthralled 200 million worldwide fans.
How famous? The Tonight Show tapped “the high priest of hedonism” to sub for Johnny Carson. How rich? Enough to impulse buy a colonial waterfront mansion. Beneath the fun loving celebrity, Graham Kerr had the goods, proficient at re-emerging post-war French cuisine by 15, serving Winston Churchill, and winning gold at The 1968 Culinary Olympics in Frankfurt.
Then he bailed out of the ride. The upheaval that caused him to reject it all and pursue a life of serving others is an adventure we haven’t seen in our Kardashian century. It’s a story of betrayed love and then redemption, fortunes rejected on principle and given away. It’s about a family ripped apart and then saved with a round-the-world sailboat adventure. Conversions, collisions, salvation.
Kerr’s untold story is of the chaos and wonder that ensues when a man lives a life of uncompromising values. He gave away a fortune, put his wife and kids on a sailboat that sailed the world for two years, joined and fled a quasi-cult, invented ways to save families on a hurricane ravaged island, and reinventing himself as a pioneer in resilient eating and living.
