A big hearty welcome back to every one of you and we are kicking off season 4 in style!

I was lucky enough to get some time in the more than hectic diary of rockstar chef and restaurateur Adam Handling (https://www.adamhandling.co.uk/). Not only did he make time for me, but he did it on the day he launched Eve Bar (https://www.evebar.co.uk/) to add into his 3 other amazing places - The 1 Michelin starred Frog by Adam Handling, Ugly Butterfly in Cornwall and Loch & Tyne in Old Windsor.

A more passionate and committed individual you will not meet!

And Adam's story does not disappoint. As we chat through his journey we cover off all manner of things including:-

Who is Adam Handling?
Starting in Gleneagles
Handshakes
Palate evolution
Moving to Staging around London
Unexpected pathways
Hunger & Devotion
Go and learn
Likeminded people
The Lessons of Covid
Hame
Business
Great British Menu - Champion of Champions!
Food Fight
TV
The British Food scene
Flag Waving

Adam is an almighty champion of Hospitality and he's got some great lessons from his career so far. If you have even a smidge of interest in how to run a successful business in the face of challenge, than you absolutely will not want to miss this.
