We Have Never Done Anything

I Have To Say, Opening Up In New York Taught Me A Lot About That Level Of Attention To Detail. London's A Tough Market, Paris Is A Tough Market, But New York, Well, That's Extraordinary.

The Issue I Have Is That The Cooking Techniques Are Up For Questioning, Today More Than Ever Before. If You Waterbath Beef At 22-degrees For 12 Hours, It May Taste Fantastic, But If You Don't Cook Food At A High Enough Temperature, You Risk Not Killing The Bacteria. Things Like That Make Me Nervous Of Venturing Into It.

Pressure's Healthy. It Becomes Stressful When You Can't Handle That. I Mean, If You Don't Want To Become Pressurized In This Environment, Then Don't Be A Chef.

I'm Not Critic-proof, And I Still Take It Personally, But I Take It Less Personally Now.

We Launched It In The London Branch - Phenomenal Sausages, Incredible Eggs, Homemade Baked Beans, Black Pudding - And It's Something I Wanted To Bring To Dubai.
