S3 E3 - 'Talking Scran' with Tom Kitchin


Listen Later

This week I am delighted to be joined by one of Scotlands and the U.Ks most celebrated Michelin star chefs Mr. Tom Kitchin. Tom has held the accolade for 14 years and became the youngest ever chef to be awarded a star at just 29 years old.

Tom has some beautiful venues in and around his beloved hometown Edinburgh and he has cut his teeth with some of the best chefs ever to set foot in a kitchen. We talk about all things hospitality, investing in youth, his love for Scotland and also his close affiliation with Liverpool.

We also learn of an ITW moment that changed Toms career forever. Tails of positivity and determination grace the episode to come out of this difficult period stronger and fighting fit!

*“Scran’’ - for those who do not know is another word for food originating in Scotland and widely used in Liverpool, hence one of Toms venues being fantastically named the “Scran and Scally’’.

**The episode was recorded a few weeks ago the morning after the Michelin stars were announced this year.
