S3 Ep31: Lloyd Morse - How He Created The Best Restaurant In Edinburgh - Why He Never Settled At The River Cafe & Rejecting Christoph Waltz!

Today we're joined by the legendary owner and Exec Chef of the most popular restaurant in Scotland in The Palmerston, the wonderful Lloyd Morse, to hear how he's created such a successful venture in Edinburgh and uncover some of his war stories from his career so far. We sat down to a delicious and incredibly boozy supper a couple of weeks ago and managed to prize out his greatest tales from; his time working alongside his mentor Skye Gyngell when they opened Spring together, why he never enjoyed his time at The River Cafe, how he structures a menu and his love for nose to tail cooking, the importance of working on a farm, the night he rejected Christop Waltz, Noel Gallagher's awful jokes, his younger days working at a terrifying Michelin starred restaurant in Australia, his hatred for certain items which should never be on a menu, the secrets to managing a team, why he never wanted to open a restaurant in London, the importance of properly training younger chefs, his love for shitty Hawaiian pizzas, why pissy livers are the greatest thing to eat in the world and much much more.... -------- Please leave us a great rating and a comment and share it with your friends - it really helps us grow as a show.
