S3 Ep26: Jeremy Lee - How Simon Hopkinson & Alistair Little Changed The UK Food Scene Forever - The Creation Of The Worlds Best Sandwich & Soho's Foodie Evolution!

Is there a more charming, eloquent and talented chef in the industry than Jeremy Lee? I think not and so today we're delighted to be joined by the legend himself in the studio to celebrate over 40 years of his incredible culinary creations. Jeremy is the only chef in the world to work under both Simon Hopkinson and Alistair Little, both the founding fathers of modern British cooking, and so regales us in some incredible stories and memories of his time working for both. Prior to running Quo Vadis he was running The Blueprint Cafe in partnership with the legendary Sir Terence Conran for 15 years, arguably the most important restaurateur in London, and Jeremy reveals to us some wonderful stories of their time together. We hear about his magical childhood, how he got fired as a waiter and forced into the kitchen instead, the machoism of the kitchens in the 80s, the magic of Bibendum and the birth of the London restaurant scene, the accidental invention of his smoked eel sandwich, his love for Soho's great institutions, the struggles of the current food scene and oh so much more!
