Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Behind the Scenes of London's Most Influential Restaurant Group w/ Songsoo Kim
Q: How has produce in London changed, and what makes your approach different?
There's a growing emphasis on agroecological and locally sourced produce, with in-house butchery and a deeper knowledge of ingredients enabling more honest, ingredient-led cooking and stronger connections to producers and origin stories.
Behind the Scenes of London's Most Influential Restaurant Group w/ Songsoo Kim
Q: What is a development chef and what is your role within the Super 8 Group?
The role blends sourcing with development; it's about linking growers and producers with the chefs' needs and ideas to create a circular system of feedback that informs menus and restaurant concepts across the group.
What happens when a restaurant wins a Michelin star? w/ Joké Bakare
Q: How did Michelin influence your reservations and overall business after you earned the star?
Bookings surged initially, but over time they had to evolve beyond relying on the star, focusing on price options, service, and a clearer, authentic dining experience.
The Volatile World of London Restaurant PR w/ Gemma Bell
Q: What are the major red flags? What are you looking for that makes you think this isn't going to happen?
