Started in 2014, the Professor and the Pigeon is run by Tim O’Brien, an Australian native who operated several successful restaurants in his native country. With a passion for the science and magic of cooking, he sought to show others how to make the most of their kitchen. “Once you start cooking, you need to understand why things work, so the science comes into a lot of it,” says Tim. The café name is a throwback to his “Professor” nickname when he became known for educating apprentices on the cooking craft.
