Update: 2024-10-31

Description

Today we're honoured to be joined by the owner and exec-chef of the Michelin starred 'The Ninth' restaurant in Fitzrovia to discuss a career that is almost unrivalled in terms of experience and success. Chef Jun has worked at eight Michelin star restaurants throughout his career (including his own) and has learnt from 3 of the 4 founding fathers of British Gastronomy in; Albert Roux, Nico Ladenis and of course Marco Pierre-White. He's also worked under the guidance of Michelin starred icons Phil Howard and Eric Chavot and in this episode he takes us through all the craziness he has witnessed throughout his years, the highs, lows, tears and sometimes regrets of working at the greatest restaurants this country has ever created. We were lucky enough to also sample a couple of dishes from his genius mediterranean inspired menu at 'The Ninth' and find out in terrifying detail about a fire a couple of years ago that very nearly put his business and career into extinction; plus much much more....
