S1 Ep12: Ruben Dawnay aka Ruben Reubens - From Smoking Meats In His Parents Garden To Becoming One Of The Most Sought After Chefs In The Country!
Today we're joined by one of our favourite ever guests in the legendary and impossibly cool Ruben Dawnay. At only 23 years old, he already has his own restaurant in Brixton Market, is about to open a second location in Peckham and has just won the Conde Naste 'One To Watch' Award at their global awards night. Ruben started smoking and selling meats from his parents garden during Covid and since then he's had a meteoric rise, whereby he's put on some of the most exciting pop ups and residencies across London, become Robin Gill's protege and now runs the best American smokehouse/Jewish Deli restaurant in Brixton Market called 'Ruben Reubens'. Ruben shares with us his incredible life story so far, his cooking inspirations, his favourite places to eat and drink, his plans for the future and the crazy highs and crippling lows he's already experienced as a restaraunter. ---------If you enjoy listening please leave a comment, subscribe and make sure you share this with others who you think would enjoy it as much as you have.
