On today's episode, James dives into the brutal truths of the industry, and how he thinks it is changing for the better. 

James has a unique and bold style of cooking, which is unapologetic and packed with flavour. We talk about what influenced his cooking style, and what direction he plans to take next. James talks about his time on Great British Menu, and what his sucess on the competition did for the opening of his restaurant 12:51.

We also chat a little bit about bullying culture, and what his early experiences were like in commercial kitchens, and how that shaped him into the chef he is today. 

Please enjoy, James Cochran.
