Giorgio Locatelli - The Tragedy That Nearly Ruined His Career, Getting Bullied In Paris & The Reason Why He Decided To Walk Away From His Michelin Stars!
This week on The Go-To Food Podcast, we sit down with legendary Italian chef Giorgio Locatelli — the man who helped redefine Italian cuisine in London. From his early training at The Savoy to becoming the first independent Italian chef in the UK to earn a Michelin star, Giorgio takes us through the highs, lows, and unforgettable moments of a career that has shaped the city’s food scene for over four decades.
In this wide-ranging and often hilarious conversation, Giorgio reflects on the golden years of London dining between 1995 and 2005, shares what it was really like walking into one of Gordon’s infamous kitchen meltdowns. He also dives into the now-infamous Truffle Kerfuffle — a billing scandal involving a lavish dinner and a very expensive mushroom — and tells us how he ended up cooking £25k pasta for royalty in the Qatari desert, and how a well-timed delivery ended up making him an unlikely truffle dealer to the King himself
We also talk about his return to TV stardom with MasterChef Italia, why he believes chefs need to stay grounded, and his advice for the next generation entering the industry. Plus, Giorgio shares his favourite go-to restaurants — from a hidden gem in Kentish Town to a no-frills spot in Palermo.
This episode is a masterclass in food, legacy, and keeping your feet on the ground in an ever-changing industry.
