Show Notes
Chef feuds, restaurant gossip, outrageous rumours and a rather reluctant Thomas Straker... Welcome to the Go-To Food gossip show!
To celebrate the launch of our brand-new Patreon, we're giving you a FREE taste of our exclusive weekly gossip round-up, where we discuss everything happening behind the scenes in the food world.
Coming to you from Coombeshead Farm in Cornwall, we're spilling the beans on our complicated relationship with Thomas Straker, the latest chef gossip, London's hottest restaurant openings, ridiculous food trends and everything else that's been getting us talking this week.
No guests, no scripts, no filters. Just Freddy and Ben letting loose, sharing stories and occasionally saying things we probably shouldn't.
