11: Tom Zahir - Bringing The Flavours Of The Deep South To London & Becoming The Number 1 Food Delivery Brand In The UK!

Today we're bringing you a little Easter bonus special, as we sit down with the wonderful chef and orator Tom Zahir, the brains behind one of the most famous food brands in the country - Decatur! Having fallen in love with New Orleans after touring their several times with his band, he decided to pack in music and become a chef, starting out in New York at several Michelin Star restaurants before finding his calling in the sharing food of the deep south! 

In this episode he tells us the incredible story of how he went from selling the food out of his van to starting the 'pop up' food scene in this country, starting his own restaurant and then converting it to a food delivery service during lockdown, whereby they became the biggest and most sought after thing to eat in the country. He also regales some hilarious tales of; stolen vans, an angry customer who attacked him with tins of seasoning, an elderly lady who didn't understand the concept of what she'd ordered and of course all of his incredible 'go-to's' and his dream long weekend away in San Sebastian.
