Today we're joined by one of the most famous Chefs in the country in Jackson Boxer, who now oversees an empire of successful restaurants including the multi-award winning Brunswick House and the previous 'Best New Restaurant of The Year' winner Orasay. Starting out as a kitchen kitchen porter for Margot Henderson at the bonny age of 16, Jackson Boxer was no stranger to kitchens by the time he opened Brunswick House with his brother Frank, aged just 24. Having experienced success alongside him the previous year with the opening of Franks Peckham, they decided to team up and turn an antiques showroom into what would soon become London's hottest restaurant. It hasn't all been plain sailing however, Jackson has been very vocal about his alcohol and drug addictions throughout his 20s and how that almost cost him his life and career. He also opens up about some past failed ventures including opening St Leonards with Vice Media in the same month they were going bankrupt and how messy that got. Plus shares his wisdom on the state of play of the industry currently and why it's never been tougher to be in hospitality although if you look hard enough there are always incredible opportunities to be had, reveals some secret Christmas dishes from the Boxer archive and much much more.....

Today we're truly honoured to be joined by one of the most famous Michelin starred chefs in the world in Niklas Ekstedt, who's inspired a whole culinary movement by opening his restaurant 'Ekstedt' in Stockholm in 2011.
