  • Lorraine Pascale - From Modelling Alongside Kate Moss In New York To Filming Music Videos With Robbie Williams To Selling Over 1 Million Cookbooks In The UK!
    This week on The Go-To Food Podcast, we’re joined by a true multi-hyphenate: model, chef, bestselling author, and international TV star Lorraine Pascale. From gracing the covers of US Elle and hanging out with De Niro in New York, to conquering UK television screens and selling over a million cookbooks, Lorraine’s journey is nothing short of remarkable. But after years of intense public life, she stepped away from the spotlight. In this candid conversation, she opens up about the burnout that came with global fame, the anxiety that followed, and the unexpected life she's built away from the kitchen.We dive deep into her extraordinary backstory — adopted as a baby, raised in Oxfordshire, and fostered through traumatic experiences — and how she emerged from that to land a modelling contract at just 16. Lorraine shares wild memories from the fashion world, from being shaved bald against her will to partying in NYC, before switching careers entirely and enrolling at Leiths culinary school. From there, she worked in some of London’s most elite kitchens, launched her own cake business with the help of Marco Pierre White, and became one of the most recognisable food personalities on TV.Plus, we find out her dream three-course final meal and her Go-To locations. This episode is full of grit, glamour, and real talk — the kind of conversation that stays with you.

  • Mitch Tonks - The Rise & Fall Of His 'FishWorks' Empire - Curry Nights With Johnny Depp & How He Changed Seafood in Britain Forever!
    Mitch Tonks didn’t start out as a chef. He was a 27-year-old dad trying to make ends meet when a fishmonger’s shop in Bath changed the course of his life. In this episode, Mitch shares the real, often chaotic, journey behind his seafood empire—from sleeping on a futon above his first restaurant to serving curry to Johnny Depp. He recalls the early inspiration he found in European markets, the fish counters of Harrods, and even a Paul Weller track that convinced him to never return to his office job.Mitch talks us through the highs and lows of founding FishWorks, the award-winning restaurant chain that made him a press darling—and nearly broke him. He opens up about the moment it all imploded after a disastrous IPO, and how that failure led to the creation of Rockfish, a coastal group of restaurants rooted in sustainability, direct supply chains, and deep respect for the fishermen who catch his product. He also describes how a COVID-era gamble to sell fish off the back of a boat in Brixham sparked a thriving nationwide delivery business.We also hear about Mitch’s life behind the scenes—long lunches that turned into overnight adventures, cooking side-by-side with his son Ben at the Seahorse, and why he keeps a stash of armagnac on hand for hangovers and inspiration alike. It’s a conversation packed with honesty, humour, and hard-won lessons from someone who’s spent three decades reshaping how Britain sees fish.-----------------Please leave us a great rating and a comment and share it with your friends - it really helps us grow as a show.If you're in the industry and are looking for the greatest POS system in the world than look no further as Blinq are tearing up the rulebook—no long-term contracts, no hidden fees, and no per-device charges.Just £49 a month for unlimited devices and 24/7 UK-based support that’s always there, in person when you need it.Built for hospitality, by hospitality, blinq is the fastest, easiest POS system on the market—so intuitive, anyone can use it.

We also hear about his award winning restaurant Plates a dream destination for food lovers and his incredible innovative creations.Plus, we dig into the madness of Michelin kitchens, life lessons from his legendary dad Nigel Haworth to Phil Howards The Square & The French Laundry, and what it really takes to build a progressive restaurant from pop-up to global acclaim.

  • Daniel Clifford - The Madness Of Marco Pierre-White - Falling Victim To A £28k Wine Scam & Peter Jones's Dinner Party Chaos!
    Brace yourself for a riotous ride through the highs, lows, and absolute madness of Michelin-level cooking with the one and only Daniel Clifford, chef-owner of the legendary Midsummer House. In this epic episode of The Go-To Food Podcast, Daniel talks candidly about winning (and fearing the loss of) his stars, why he still shows up for every service after 21 years, and how a surprise phone call from Michelin left him literally dropping the phone in disbelief.From getting scammed out of £28,000 in wine by a fake Premier League footballer to cooking a 12-course private dinner in Peter Jones' house (and accidentally triggering the sprinklers mid-service), Daniel shares outrageous behind-the-scenes tales that are equal parts hilarious and jaw-dropping. He reminisces about working under Marco Pierre White, sleeping in kitchens, cutting himself mid-service, and sneaking Harvey’s chef jackets. There are deeply moving reflections too—on fatherhood, burnout, and why lockdown gave him his first proper family Easter.We also dive into Daniel’s love of classical French cooking, the joy of lunch at Stockholm’s Frantzén (and that unforgettable truffle toast), his secret kebab obsession, and the next-generation chef he's quietly training—his own stepson. Raw, funny, and packed with heart, this is a must-watch for anyone who cares about the real stories behind the food. If you’ve ever wanted to know what it really takes to earn, keep, and grow a Michelin-starred restaurant—this is it.------Please leave us a great rating and a comment and share it with your friends - it really helps us grow as a show.If you're in the industry and are looking for the greatest POS system in the world than look no further as Blinq are tearing up the rulebook—no long-term contracts, no hidden fees, and no per-device charges.Just £49 a month for unlimited devices and 24/7 UK-based support that’s always there, in person when you need it.Built for hospitality, by hospitality, blinq is the fastest, easiest POS system on the market—so intuitive, anyone can use it.
