This episode is a conversation with Missy Flynn, co-owner and founder of beloved London restaurant, Rita’s. I’ve been eating at Rita’s since it was a pop-up in a rowdy Dalston nightclub and have dined all its iterations since – mostly recently, at its current home on Soho’s charming Lexington Street.

As fellow born-and-raised Londoners, the conversation between Missy and I inevitably turned to the city - our thoughts on its past and present, and our hopes for its future. We also spoke about what social media is doing to dining and food culture, the joys of eating out in New York, and the books Missy turns to when she’s craving food for thought, excuse the pun. I hope you enjoy the conversation.
