Charlie Carrington left school at the age of 15 to become a chef. By the time he was 21, he'd worked at Gordon Ramsay's eponymous Michelin-starred restaurant along with some of Australia's best restaurants. He had also spent eight months travelling across 15 countries, working in kitchens in Antwerp, San Francisco, Bangkok, Singapore, La Paz, Mexico City and Sao Paulo.
At age 22, Charlie opened his own highly acclaimed restaurant, Atlas Dining, in Melbourne, Australia. Inspired by his travel experiences, the Atlas food and beverage menus transform every four months.
