A FORMER chef to the stars has told how addiction and tragedy brought him to his lowest point. Andrew Traynor has fed the likes of Billy Connolly and well-known Hollywood stars during his time as a sous chef at the plush Stonefield Castle Hotel in Loch Fyne. The 49-year-old said: “I worked all over, I worked in all the resort restaurants and for the agencies with Chefs of Scotland. “I was working in Loch Fyne when Billy Connolly was doing the tour in his trike and served Paul Newman and some footballers as well.” He said that the focus on getting up for his morning shift kept him from hitting the bottle as soon as he finished a shift, despite struggling with alcohol addiction since he was just 8-years-old.
