29: Jordon King - The Secrets Of Parisian Restaurants - Portugal's Hidden Foodie Treasures & Is Pasta Carbonara In fact American?

The Go To Food Podcast

Today we're joined by the incredibly charming and wonderfully knowledgable Jordon Ezra King, to hear about his journey from being a trainee tailor on Saville Rowe (working for everyone from Stephen Fry to some of the most renowned gangsters in the country) to becoming a chef and working at some of London & Paris's top restaurants. Jordon is currently on a culinary tour around Europe where he's seeking out and documenting some hidden foodie treasures, which often get overlooked by visitors, but are in fact the staples of the locals across the continent. We hear about; his love for some of Portugal's less known dishes from seafood to offal, his crazy recollections and anecdotes from his time working at some of the best restaurants in Paris & London, why he's addicted to Pasta, the crazy impact working at MOB had on his career and why now he's decided to go it alone, why Carbonara is in fact an American recipe not an Italian one, his best places to eat in London and much much more.....
