Chef Ben Murphy - Pierre Koffmann's Protégé on; Sleeping On His Kitchen Floor, Dodgy Bosses & Getting Bullied In France!

Today we're joined by one of London's most exciting young chefs in Ben Murphy, who was crowned National Chef of the Year 2022 by the Craft Guild & who's worked under some of the most iconic chefs in the world including; Pierre Koffmann, Michel Guérard, Éric Fréchon & Thomas Keller. Ben has worked his way through some of the most famous restaurants in the world from London to Paris to New York and today reveals the reality of being an Englishman in a foreign kitchen. From language barriers, to bullying, to dodgy bosses, crazy hours and everything in between. He then went off to set up his own restaurant 'Woodford' at just 24 which won Evening Standards restaurant of the year and received a rare 5 star review from the legendary A.A Gill, but ultimately ended up closing, when it turned out his investors were dodgier than he could have ever imagined. He's recently been Chef Patron at the award winning  Launceston Place, but has now left to pursue an incredibly exciting new opportunity!
