Nice inspiring read on how Douglas McMaster changed the existing tradition system and made it a more positive food system!
He’s now an award-winning chef and owner of Silo, the world’s first zero-waste restaurant. In our new series, #InBold, we talk to changemakers whose actions highlight hope and make what’s possible stand out.
My favorite takeaway:
Clichés would have us believe that inspiration can only be found when we think outside the box, but in Doug’s experience, having to create within a defined circumstance – one which you create yourself – can lead to exciting innovation. “What’s interesting about Silo is that we’re working within a system, and it’s one we’re trying to make better. We’re a zero-waste restaurant, so how do we innovate and adhere to those principles? Working within those guidelines can really trigger our creativity – it’s like lights turning on across a map.”

Can our frustrations fuel us? Can we let them light a spark of inspiration? ⛽
That’s exactly what Doug McMaster did.
Doug grew up feeling like an outsider, excluded by traditional systems – so he created his own.
He’s now an award-winning chef and owner of Silo, the world’s first zero-waste restaurant. So how did he get there?
In our new series, #InBold, we talk to changemakers whose actions highlight hope and make what’s possible stand out.
We caught up with Doug to chat about the highs and lows of building a successful restaurant, while also developing an alternative food system that could change the future for all of us.
