   Our RKD book, listener questions, paper airplanes and beer

   Hello and welcome to What's The Story? Hash Brown Glory! We're your hosts, Tom Bower and Lee Harding from Rustic Kitchen & Deli! This week, we're all alone. No guest. Nobody else to talk to. Besides producer Adam, but he doesn't count. It's just us two. We dive into a few exciting goings on at RKD, including...OUR VERY OWN BOOK! HOLY MOLY. We're currently debating the title, its contents and so much more so we'd love to hear from you with what you think we should name it... Oh, and should we include our famous hash brown recipe or not? We also answer some listener questions that we've been collecting and some of which we definitely haven't written ourselves... Things like, what goes into an RKD dish? What was the most difficult RKD dish to make? What are some of the biggest mistakes you've made? And so many more... We all know that hospitality is an ever changing industry and it's important to be able to adapt, and cope! We think it's fair to say that we're well positioned to be able to talk about this kind of stuff given the eventful year we had last year. If you know, you know. We talk about the kind of attitude you need to work in food and catering, what goes into the systems that power restaurants and so much more so make sure you tune in, and give us your undivided attention. As ever, thank you so much for listening and make sure you're subscribed to never miss an episode! Tom & Lee x

[…] How did that come about? So that came about, I was growing increasingly unhappy in the situation that I was in. Regarding that, was there ever a thought of going back to like Millington or were you, I want to do events now. This is what I found. This is my place. This is where I've... I think you never, once you've been in the travel industry, you never truly leave it.
