Hey folks, welcome back to the Scoop podcast. For this episode I am joined by Zac, who recently became a father! I managed to wrangle some time with him inbetween changing nappies, burping the baby and running a restaurant.
Today we talk to Mike Bagnall, the owner and head chef of Auguste in London Fields. His past connections have shaped the menu of his new restaurant, Mikey lived with an Italian family growing up and moved to Abruzzo after lockdown. He doesn’t shy away from trepidation; he took the plunge and began solo concepts, pop ups at Rogues back in the day and now his pub residency ELM at The Montpellier. Join us as we catch up about his restaurants, the London food scene, reviewers, the stereotypical snooty guest and death row meals.
I am Stella and I’m gonna take you out for dinner.
