David Cleevely didn't approach hospitality like a chef — he approached it like a systems engineer. After decades building companies at the heart of British technology and science, Cleevely went on to co-own one of the UK's most iconic Italian restaurants. In this conversation, he explains why running a restaurant isn't that different from running a technology business — if you understand systems, incentives, and long-term thinking. This isn't a story about Silicon Valley hype. It's about infrastructure, patience, culture, and why the boring bits are what actually make businesses work. ===============

Imagine my surprise to learn that he leading a team that was behind half the places on this little street.

unforgettable conversation. Chef and writer Jeremy Lee — the beloved face of Quo Vadis in Soho — takes us deep into the story of modern British cooking, creativity, and the art that connects them all. From Elizabeth David's revolutionary food writing to Fergus Henderson's nose-to-tail philosophy, Jeremy paints a vivid picture of how Britain's culinary culture transformed from postwar blandness to global influence.Along the way, he recalls his early years with Terence Conran, the visionary designer who turned dining into an art form, and shares intimate memories of icons like Anthony Bourdain, AA Gill, and Alastair Little — the “rockstar chef” who changed everything.Full of warmth, humour, and wisdom, this episode explores how food, design, and storytelling intertwine to create culture — and why the best meals are still about generosity, imperfection, and joy.If you care about British food, restaurant history, creativity, or the people who built the scene we know today — this is a must-watch. =============================================
