I think his interest in food began at a Caltex roadhouse in Adelaide's suburbs - and about the only place open for a feed after we quit work at 2 a.m. The big item was poached eggs with plenty of pepper and lashings of toast with real butter. Hungry growing boys need that sort of food. World-renowned political cartoonists Pat Oliphant was our special mate and, probably because he was vegetarian, we all had eggs, rather than steak.

However, Duncan Holmes brings a special tribute to the BC Restaurant Hall of Fame - the historian, the memories, actually the voice. Each year Duncan has either emceed or donated his time to honour the inductees. His tribute to James Barber in 2008 brought 500 plus people to their feet, brought tears to their eyes, a smile to their lips, and a lasting laughter to their hearts. Congratulations Duncan on your nomination.
