This week on The Go-To Mise en Place we are joined by chefs George Williams and Beth, the duo behind The Fat Badger, one of London's most talked-about upstairs pubs and dining rooms. They set the record straight on that infamous “invite-only” myth, explain why they threw out the idea of menus altogether, and relive the chaos of their early days—from disastrous potato “risottos” to running a full service with no water.We hear about starry guests from Cesc Fàbregas to Raymond Blanc and Lewis Capaldi, the Ballymaloe roots that shaped their cooking, and how they've evolved from pub toasties to a £85pp tasting menu that changes nightly and even features a KP-invented Hasselback technique. Along the way, George recalls a gruesome pasta machine accident, Beth tells the story of a missing plaster in 150 kilos of sourdough, and both deliver some sharp words on chef egos.There's travel chat too, from pints and sea swims in Galway to Mexico City tacos, plus their pitch for why London desperately needs a proper hot-dog joint.
