His friend Australian TV presenter Eddie McGuire helped him find a new job after he lost his hotel company Made Establishment (MAdE) to liquidators in 2020.
George had been ordered to repay $7.8 million in unpaid wages to 515 current and former staff members.

“I was walking around with Eddie McGuire, and he was in my ear about getting back to work. He said: ‘enough, time has passed, we want the chef back,’ Calombaris said The Sun Herald.
“He wanted me to do a pop-up, and I said I didn’t have the infrastructure for it. One thing leading to another, I met the Pitt family, owners of this incredible institution which belongs to their family for 41 years.
“They have big plans, big ambitions, they want to double their footprint. So they brought me on board to help and support. I really like. I even learned how to pour a beer the other day.
The boutique hotel, established in 1872 and owned and operated by the Pitts since 1981, features an award-winning restaurant, multiple bars, upscale accommodations, and conference and wedding facilities.
