    Today, Garrey Dylan Dawson is the general manager at Henne Kirkeby Kro — a Michelin-starred restaurant on the west coast of Denmark. But that scarcely scratches the surface of the former chef's long and illustrious career in the industry.His highlights reel includes a decade as the head chef at The Fat Duck — alongside Heston Blumenthal — when it won its three Michelin stars; a long-running stint on one of the UK’s best-loved food programmes, Ready, Steady Cook; and a move to Denmark, where h...

    What's In a Name?

    Restaurant names are critical.A good one could be the difference between a diner taking a look at the menu — or moving on.So, in episode 5, we explore why names matter and how restaurants can choose the right one.First, we take a lighthearted look at how some top restaurants got their name — from the Latin American eatery that shares its name with a Kanye West album, to the pizzeria that found its name in the English-Esperanto dictionary.Then we talk to Amy Dennis, of the Nice Branding Agency...

    Recent years have seen a number of sexual misconduct cases in the restaurant industry, from the allegations against Mario Batali to the litany of claims about the Danish hospitality scene.But while it’s vital to hold perpetrators to account and to illuminate the murkiest corners of the industry, it can sometimes feel like little is being done to fundamentally change things.Which is what makes the work of Sofia Bodovic Olsson so interesting.A decorated chef based in Gothenburg, Sofia reached a...

    Brand and Deliver

    For years, “restaurant brands” meant chains like McDonald’s or TGI Fridays.Not any more.In today’s fast-paced, hyper-digitalised world, every restaurant is a brand — whether it likes it or not.In episode 5 of The Recipe, we explore the consequences of this shift.We hear from a Danish brand director who says that any restaurant with a higher sense of purpose is a brand — and that it should be reflected in everything it does.We sit down with the creative director of one of Scandinavia’s most su...
