Summary

My guest today is Theo Randall.

It’s safe to say that Theo is one of the nation's most beloved chefs.

Inspired by the food of his childhood trips to Italy, Theo has developed a life-long passion for Italian food. He spent 17 years at The River Café and was Head Chef when they won their Michelin star.

In 2006 he left to set up his own eponymous restaurant at the Intercontinental Hotel in London to great critical acclaim.

An interview online states: “In a world full of swagger, quick tempers and massive egos, Chef Theo Randall, is a breath of fresh air.”

We recorded today’s episode in Theo’s restaurant at the Intercontinental in London where they were preparing for a busy days service. Theo is a legend in the food world and I think there’s always a slight assumption that seriously successful people might not be that nice – but if that is how the theory goes Theo completely proved that wrong.
