In the opening episode of the series, Áine travels to London to meet Belfast-born chef Hugh Corcoran, the force behind the celebrated - and sometimes controversial - restaurant The Yellow Bittern.

Having cooked across Europe, Hugh has developed strong views about the modern hospitality industry. Since opening the restaurant with his partner Frances and friend Oisín, The Yellow Bittern has drawn intense public and critical attention for their distinctive Irish menu and uncompromising approach. From bookings only by phone or postcard to a strict cash only policy, even here in multicultural London, Hugh and his restaurant stand apart.
