Ed didn’t just vanish into a puff of culinary smoke. He had a very good reason. Turns out, his schedule got absolutely packed.
He’s now one of the big cheeses over at Comic Relief. That’s a huge job, my friend. He’s probably too busy saving the world to argue about whether a pea puree is too runny.
Let’s be real: would you trade a desk full of Red Noses for a plate of mille-feuille? I wouldn’t. Well, maybe for a day.
The Calendar Conundrum
Here’s the thing about Great British Menu: it films for weeks. We’re talking intense, all-day, every-day shooting. You can’t just pop in for a quick lunch.
Ed’s calendar looked like a Jackson Pollock painting. Too many colors, too many points of overlap. He simply couldn’t commit to the long, delicious haul.
Plus, he’s got a podcast empire to run. Off Menu isn’t going to record itself, you know. Priorities!
