My fantastic guest this week is Lee Hollington, Head Chef at B:eats in Symphony Hall, Birmingham. We talked all things food and had a laugh along the way. Lee’s famous Brummie Bacon Cake was featured on the BBC 1 Hairy Bikers TV programme (Christmas edition) and were inspired by his loving Grandad who was a chef in the army. Lee’s grandad made him want to be a chef, with stories of cooking for and feeding the troops, which entertained Lee when he was a kid. We also talk about his famous pot noodle sandwich and a fajita eating date, haha! Given all the good stuff I’d heard about the Brummie Bacon Cake, me and a friend had to try it! Listen to our review. I also talk deep fried toothpicks! Yes, you read that right, deep fried toothpicks! Apparently they’re a trend in South Korea. People are eating them with seasoning, of course (sigh). Tik Tok craze. I know! Anyway, forget that and get your ears into Menu, the feel-good food podcast.
