Michael Howells, exec chef at Lucky Cat. Why do you love working here
0:03
I love working in Bishopsgate. I think there's lots of different variety of people to work with
0:10
that come in to dine. You know, you've got sort of the business training, you've got people coming
0:15
in for a great night out sort of later on in the week. So it's never a boring day up here
0:20
There's always something new going on. So it keeps it nice and fresh. Being based in Liverpool Street
0:25
it's so good because there's that easy connection. I mean, I live outside London and I can get in in half an hour
0:33
Same time, I can head over to Lesser Square. So it's very, very easy to travel around
0:40
And I think that's really, really important for sort of that London life. Obviously being part of a Mayfair restaurant as well
0:46
being able to transfer between the two easily is very, very important for us
0:50
And what do you do when you relax in the city? Where do you like to go out drinking? Where do you like to eat
0:53
I'm big into sports. So when there is time outside of the restaurant, which there isn't much, but when there is, you know, I like to late night sports bars, you know, sort of American football as well
1:04
So it's a great time. It's a great place as well around to be able to see that with some late night snacks, easy food
1:11
Is there a restaurant that you particularly like that isn't a Gordon Ramsay brand? Yeah, I'd say my most recent and memorable meal in the area was Manteca, just up the
1:20
road in Shoreditch. It was fantastic. Really, really great fresh produce and they don't
1:26
overwork it. Really great pasta, nice and done fresh. You can see they really take care
