  • Lennox Hastie - How He Turned Etxebarri Into The World's Best Restaurant, Dodging 'Flying Pans' At Le Manoir & Creating A Food Revolution In Australia!
    In this episode of The Go-To Food Podcast—brought to you by Blinq (the UK POS rebels)—we sit down with fire-obsessed chef Lennox Hastie, the man behind Sydney’s cult restaurant Firedoor and the pintxo-loving Gildas. From starring on Chef’s Table to earning two Chef’s Hats (Australia’s Michelin-adjacent kudos), Lennox has built a career on cooking everything over live flame—no gas, no charcoal, just wood, nerve, and precision.Lennox takes us back to the Basque Country, where a chance overheard conversation in a bar sent him up a mountain to Asador Etxebarri—and straight into Victor Arguinzoniz’s inferno. He shares how he went from three-Michelin-star kitchens to a tiny grill line where the ovens roasted your back and the fire seared your front, translating for Anthony Bourdain and learning that wood choice is as crucial as the cut. You’ll hear why turbot belongs flat on the grill (not in a cage), how prawns can stop time, and why simplicity hits harder when the flames are perfectly tuned.Back in Australia, Lennox fought a four-year, site-by-site battle to open Firedoor the uncompromising way—100% wood-fired or nothing. He breaks down the nerdy magic of ironbark vs. oak, why the team builds log-cabin fires every morning, and how prep dances around rising and falling embers. Expect goosebump dishes and surprising ideas: live-marron split and kissed by heat, grilled lettuce that eats like a revelation, long-aged beef that hums with prosciutto-y depth, and flame-finished desserts that prove pastry belongs in the fire, too.We also detour through San Sebastián and Sydney’s best bites—pintxos culture, tomato salads worth a pilgrimage, vermouth-forward Marianitos, and Lennox’s go-to Korean and Japanese haunts. It’s a story of obsession, patience, and learning to “slow dance” with fire—from mountain grills to a packed open kitchen where every lick of flame is on show. Plug in for craft, chaos, and crackling honesty—and leave hungry.---------Please leave us a great rating and a comment and share it with your friends - it really helps us grow as a show.If you're in the industry and are looking for the greatest POS system in the world than look no further -as Blinq are tearing up the rulebook—no long-term contracts, no hidden fees, and no per-device charges.Just £69 a month for unlimited devices and 24/7 UK-based support that’s always there, in person when you need it.Built for hospitality, by hospitality, blinq is the fastest, easiest POS system on the market—so intuitive, anyone can use it.

  • Inside The Worlds First Michelin Pub - The Marksman - Tom Harris & Jon Rotheram
    Few pubs capture the soul of London like The Marksman in Hackney, the first pub ever to win Michelin’s coveted Pub of the Year. In this episode of The Go-To Food Podcast, hosts Ben and his team sit down with Tom Harris and Jon Rotheram, the duo behind the pub and its sister restaurant, Lahden, to mark a milestone worth raising a pint to: ten years at the helm. What started as a battered old boozer has become a London institution, seamlessly blending the warmth of a classic pub with the ambition of a dining room that redefined “pub food.”Harris and Rotheram reflect on the long journey from St. John—where they cut their teeth alongside Fergus Henderson—to transforming The Marksman into a space that honors pub tradition without ever losing its soul. Listeners will hear the hilarious story of the pub’s “ghost beer” (Fosters hidden behind the bar for the die-hard locals), the painstaking effort to keep the old regulars happy, and how their menu evolved into a roll call of modern classics—pressed pig’s head, sardine buns, and the now-legendary brown butter tart.The conversation also digs into the hard realities of running restaurants today. From weathering the pandemic to adapting with steak nights and daily specials, Harris and Rotheram reveal how they’ve had to stay nimble without compromising quality. Their reflections on St. John’s unique kitchen culture—calm, familial, and entirely unlike the macho fine-dining stereotype—shine a light on why so many great chefs have emerged from that school of thought. It’s a reminder that longevity in hospitality depends not just on food, but on people, care, and culture.Finally, the duo share glimpses of what’s next: a new pub on the horizon, a celebratory cookbook, and a continuing mission to prove that pubs can be both egalitarian and exceptional. With candid stories—like falling into a canal after one too many post-service drinks—and insights into London’s evolving dining scene, this episode is as comforting, surprising, and deeply satisfying as the perfect Marksman pie.----------Please leave us a great rating and a comment and share it with your friends - it really helps us grow as a show.If you're in the industry and are looking for the greatest POS system in the world than look no further -as Blinq are tearing up the rulebook—no long-term contracts, no hidden fees, and no per-device charges.Just £69 a month for unlimited devices and 24/7 UK-based support that’s always there, in person when you need it.Built for hospitality, by hospitality, blinq is the fastest, easiest POS system on the market—so intuitive, anyone can use it.

  • Adam Handling - Lawsuits, Breakdowns & Life In The Kitchen Trenches!
    When Adam Handling sits down for The Go-To Food Podcast, you know you’re in for fireworks. The Michelin-starred chef pulls no punches, opening up about landlords who tried to strong-arm him, staff who faced his infamous “card machine punishment” for costly mistakes, and the emotional nights he locked himself in the restaurant bathroom and cried after service disasters. The Michelin-starred chef relives the moment he took legal action against a trendy London bakery for using the “Frog” name, and the breakdown he suffered during COVID when he thought his entire restaurant group might collapse. Brutally honest, occasionally explosive, and always compelling, Adam holds nothing back about the cutthroat world of food and hospitality.Adam also shares the rollercoaster of building his restaurant empire — from landlords evicting him overnight to resurrecting Ugly Butterfly 2.0 on the Cornish cliffs, and from bursting power supplies that shut Frog Covent Garden mid-service to dealing with chefs who jump kitchens every few months. And then there are the customers. From finger-snappers unceremoniously kicked out mid-service to diners outraged when crab butter replaced his signature chicken butter, Adam has seen it all. Brutally honest yet fiercely passionate, he reminds us why restaurants are the most exhilarating, maddening, and life-affirming places on earth. This is an episode every foodie — and anyone who’s ever worked in hospitality — needs to hear.--------Please leave us a great rating and a comment and share it with your friends - it really helps us grow as a show.If you're in the industry and are looking for the greatest POS system in the world than look no further -as Blinq are tearing up the rulebook—no long-term contracts, no hidden fees, and no per-device charges.Just £49 a month for unlimited devices and 24/7 UK-based support that’s always there, in person when you need it.Built for hospitality, by hospitality, blinq is the fastest, easiest POS system on the market—so intuitive, anyone can use it.

  • Inside The Fat Badger: George Williams & Beth O'Brien on Celebs, Conspiracies & Cooking
    This week on The Go-To Mise en Place we are joined by chefs George Williams and Beth, the duo behind The Fat Badger, one of London’s most talked-about upstairs pubs and dining rooms. They set the record straight on that infamous “invite-only” myth, explain why they threw out the idea of menus altogether, and relive the chaos of their early days—from disastrous potato “risottos” to running a full service with no water.We hear about starry guests from Cesc Fàbregas to Raymond Blanc and Lewis Capaldi, the Ballymaloe roots that shaped their cooking, and how they’ve evolved from pub toasties to a £85pp tasting menu that changes nightly and even features a KP-invented Hasselback technique. Along the way, George recalls a gruesome pasta machine accident, Beth tells the story of a missing plaster in 150 kilos of sourdough, and both deliver some sharp words on chef egos.There’s travel chat too, from pints and sea swims in Galway to Mexico City tacos, plus their pitch for why London desperately needs a proper hot-dog joint. And don’t forget—you can win a year of Blinq POS by sending us your most chaotic hospitality nightmare day.

  • Nathan Outlaw – Why I Gave Up 2 Michelin Stars, Rick Stein’s Genius & Walking Out On Gary Rhodes!
    Seafood maestro Nathan Outlaw joins The Go-To Food Podcast for a candid conversation that charts his rise from washing dishes alongside his chef father in Maidstone to becoming the only British chef with two Michelin-starred seafood restaurants. Along the way, he recalls formative stints with culinary icons Gary Rhodes, Éric Chavot and Rick Stein—where he learned the art of speed, precision, and never sending a sauce in batches.Nathan shares the behind-the-scenes tales that shaped his cooking: a wild TV adventure across Europe with Valentine Warner that inspired Fish Kitchen; the madness of breaking down 200kg tuna like a side of beef (“320 plates from one fish”); and why he actually loved cooking breakfast for guests at his Cornwall guesthouse. He opens up on the decision to step away from two Michelin stars after COVID, choosing freedom and flavour over formality, and explains why his menus now change daily depending on what the boats bring in.This is Nathan Outlaw as you’ve never heard him before: talking honestly about the challenges of luring diners to Cornwall in winter, the sheer joy of a perfectly made crab sandwich, and why most home cooks are terrified of fish. From his Cornish hit list of must-visit restaurants to his nostalgic go-to meal (toad in the hole followed by trifle—“the best kept secret breakfast”), it’s a rollicking, generous episode with one of Britain’s most influential seafood chefs.----------Please leave us a great rating and a comment and share it with your friends - it really helps us grow as a show.If you're in the industry and are looking for the greatest POS system in the world than look no further -as Blinq are tearing up the rulebook—no long-term contracts, no hidden fees, and no per-device charges.Just £49 a month for unlimited devices and 24/7 UK-based support that’s always there, in person when you need it.Built for hospitality, by hospitality, blinq is the fastest, easiest POS system on the market—so intuitive, anyone can use it.
