46: Robin Gill - How He Changed The London Restaurant Scene Forever With His Critically Acclaimed 'The Dairy' - Working In The Most Toxic Kitchen In Ireland & Getting Attacked By Customers!

Today we’re joined by a chef who’s had such a huge impact on London’s food scene it’s almost immeasurable, especially with the creation of The Dairy - a restaurant that defined the Nordic-flecked, produce-focused fine dining movement that has become commonplace in London today. He’s worked for the best chefs in the industry from Marco Pierre White to Raymond Blanc to René Redzepi & is now championing the next generation under his own stewardship. Today he takes us through his incredible career starting out in the most toxic kitchen imaginable in Dublin via Marco Pierre White's in London and then off to Napoli to work at the 2 starred Don Alfonso an experience which changed his perception on seasonality and the importance of farm to table eating. This was strengthened by his time cooking from the garden at Le Manoir and reaffirmed beyond belief when he went to work at Noma. Robin shares with us the highs and lows of opening one of London's most iconic restaurants from the critical acclaim to the physical abuse from drunk customers and all in between. We also celebrate his latest genius outlet in Darbys, which is everyones favourite place to eat Sunday Lunch, a revelation which actually angers Robin! Listen in to find out why.............
