Well day one was a huge success as you can see on Twitter #Obsession16 and now we have day two to savour.
This evening will see Michelin-starred chef Mark Jordan take charge of proceedings in the Northcote kitchens.
Mark Jordan is one of just three chefs in the whole of the Channel Islands to run a Michelin-starred kitchen. At the age of just 15, Jordan had already decided on his future career and left school to take up a job with the late, and greatly missed Keith Floyd.
Jordan went on to help Jean Christophe-Novelli open Gordleton Mill in Lymington, before heading to Wales to take up a Head Pastry Chef position at Llangoed Hall. Roles at Mallory Court Hotel in Warwickshire and Rascasse in Leeds (both Michelin-starred) followed before Jordan landed his first Head Chef position at Steven Saunders’ acclaimed Pink Geranium near Cambridge. During his eight years in charge, the Pink Geranium (now closed) became firmly established as one of East Anglia’s finest restaurants.
Jordan fell in love with Jersey on his first visit and joined The Atlantic Hotel and Ocean Restaurant in the summer of 2004. The Atlantic is one of the Channel Islands most luxurious boutique hotels. Elegant and opulent, Ocean Restaurant shares those wonderful sea views, although diners find themselves inexorably drawn to the local, seasonal cuisine on the plates in front of them.

We wish everyone attending tonight especially Mark Jordan and brigade a very special evening and once again we look forward to following proceedings on Twitter.
