Billy Granger, an Australian chef who invented Avocado toast, has reportedly tragically passed away at the age of 54. The New York Times reports on his death…Bill Granger, a chef who combined an easy Australian manner with a talent for making simple food sing, selling the world on the infinite potential of breakfast, died on Christmas Day in London. His death, in a hospital, was announced on his Instagram page. The cause was not specified. To many Australians, and particularly Sydneysiders, Mr. Granger was just Bill: the frontman, originator and head chef of a Sydney corner cafe called Bills that eventually expanded to nine outlets across three countries, as well as an offshoot, Granger & Co., with five locations in London.
