In summer 2011, Pitt Cue Co. was the talking point of London's Southbank. For three months, their trailer dished out hot, Southern US-style, slow-cooked food and instantly became a must-try experience. In January 2012, the trailer was joined by a destination restaurant in Soho, and since then there have been queues around the block.
Simon Anderson, Tom Adams, Jamie Berger and Richard H. Turner brought together their experience from Hawksmoor, The Albion, The Blueprint Café and Brunswick House to create a fabulously finger-licking, bourbon-drinking paradise that's taken the London restaurant scene by storm.
April Bloomfield - who wrote the foreword - has spent most of her life in the kitchen. Her NYC restaurants The Spotted Pig and The Breslin Bar & Dining Room have each been awarded a Michelin star, and her latest - The John Dory Oyster Bar - has received rave reviews. April's first book, A Girl and Her Pig, was published in 2012.

Chef Richard H. Turner is a man of many meaty pleasures. Classically trained by legendary chefs the Roux brothers, Pierre Koffmann and Marco Pierre White, these days he's up past his forearms in the London restaurant scene - from London's celebrated Pitt Cue Co., to Hawksmoor, Foxlow and beyond. He's also one half of the independent butcher and supplier of the best-quality British rare breed meat money can buy, Turner & George, plus he's the man who established NYC's Meatopia festival in the UK, Spain and beyond. As acclaimed food writer Diana Henry says, 'Richard Turner's food sends me'. He is simply the best chef working in meat cookery today.
