Jun Tanaka - The Highs & Lows of Working At 8 Michelin Starred Restaurants - A Fire That Almost Ruined His Life & The Challenges of Being Marco Pierre-White's Sous Chef!

Today we're honoured to be joined by the owner and exec-chef of the Michelin starred 'The Ninth' restaurant in Fitzrovia to discuss a career that is almost unrivalled in terms of experience and success. Chef Jun has worked at eight Michelin star restaurants throughout his career (including his own) and has learnt from 3 of the 4 founding fathers of British Gastronomy in; Albert Roux, Nico Ladenis and of course Marco Pierre-White.
