Here we catch up with Restaurateur David Fox for a candid chat about his life and career from being brought up in West Yorkshire and West Africa to launching his first Tampopo restaurant in Albert Square in 1997.

David's story takes in the transition from accountancy to restaurant life and includes anecdotes involving the IRA Bomb, Posh & Becks', Ian Brown, Uri Geller & Tony Wilson. 

Almost twenty years on, Tampopo has three sites in Manchester – Albert Square, Corn Exchange and the Trafford Centre, with a fourth in London.
