As KERB celebrates a decade in the capital, in the first episode of this KERB Life special, we look back at the era in London food that our street food collective sprang up out of – the fun and chaotic thrill of start-up energy and all the opportunities coming our way at a time when London seemed to be bending into a whole new culinary shape. 

It was bao buns, carnitas burritos, green chilli cheeseburgers, pork-fat fried schnitzel sandwiches, Holy Fuck slathred rib rolls and warm caramel drenched doughnuts – all helping to turn lunchtimes and then night times on their heads.

But how long can it all last?
