He's the only British Chef in history to receive both an MBE and to be conferred with a CMA (the equivalent of an MBE) by the French Government for his services to food, and away from the Kitchen championed young people getting into cooking through his presidency at the 'Royal Academy of Culinary Arts'.

You're in for an absolute treat today as we're joined by arguably the coolest and most talented brothers since the Gallagher's ruled the roost in the 90s. Brothers Fin and Lorcan (Time Out Chef Of The Year 2023) Spiteri are no strangers to London’s food and drink industry, being the sons of renowned restaurateur Jon Spiteri (St John's, French House & Sessions Arts Club) and Rochelle Canteen co-founder, Melanie Arnold, the business runs in their blood. Today they regale us with their greatest stories from their time working in some of London's greatest restaurants and bars, some of which will leave you shocked. From incredibly messy nights out in Soho to fishing drunk customers out of their canal to waitering the floors of the French House as 8 year old kids with 'L Plates' stuck to their backs, their stories are as incredible as their success. I could carry on writing all day about how influential they've been to the London food scene and what wonderful guests they are, but I will leave the stories for you to rejoice in - so sit back, relax and enjoy.  --------------DELLI is a food platform, from the team behind Depop, that sells the best independent food and drink products that other shops don’t really know about.Head to www.delli.market and discover the thousands of creative products dropping daily and use the code GOTODELLI for 25% off everything from us.Pre Order Ben's Incredible Book - All You Can Eat - By Clicking Here - https://www.amazon.co.uk/All-You-Can-Eat-British/dp/1805221523Get 2 Months of Blinq For Free - With Code - GOTOBLINQ - https://blinqme.com/Order The Greatest Meat In The Country From HG Walter Here & Have Restaurant Quality Meals From Home - www.hgwalter.com Hosted on Acast.
