Back to the Future

So the God that is Pierre Koffmann is moving into Gordon Ramsey's old Boxwood Cafe site to open his own restaurant. Bruno Loubet is going down a storm again with his own place in Clerkenwell.

Great to see top, top, top chefs cooking again in London.

Now off to make a reservation.

Swim against the tide.

As Roy Choi is lauded with bringing this whole street food trend to life with his Kogi Korean Taco truck in LA, he has recently been named "Best New Chef" by Food and Wine Magazine in the US, apparently he serves between 300 and 800 people a night as he tours around LA.

Well as other chefs have copied his format, he is now doing the opposite and opened a sit down restaurant. The menu is short and simple based around rice bowls topped with a choice meats all served in his familiar biodegradable bowls.

Sure to be a winner.
