Episode 6: Dave Myers & The Byland Burger

It's been a busy week for the team at The Black Swan!

On Monday - Tommy took his head chefs Callum and Will down to Silverstone Racing Circuit, to watch the announcement of the latest Michelin Guide - and they were thrilled to retain a coveted Michelin star for BOTH of Tommy's restaurants.

But, there's soon to be a THIRD venue in the family, and Tommy gives listeners more details about his new gastro-pub. With the opening less than two months away, he's busy compiling the menu along with head chef Charlie. And after months of refinement they've got a burger which they think could be the best ever.

Visiting Oldstead to give it a try is a foodie legend - Dave Myers from the Hairy Bikers. He pays close attention as Charlie walks through the 19 elements of his burger, and puts it all together. But what will the verdict be?

Tommy then sits down with Dave to discuss recipe books, Dave's recent ill-health, seasonal ingredients and MUCH more.

The series sponsor is True Foods - www.truefoodsltd.com - who make delicious stocks and sauces which are used in Michelin starred kitchens up and down the land. And this week - they announced a deal for their products to be sold in Waitrose! Listeners to Seasoned can get 10% off their first order by using the code 'Seasoned' on checkout.

This weeks producer profile is actually the story of Banks Brothers - the canned-wine company which Tommy launched with his brother during the Covid lockdown. Hear how the initiative started, and helped to support the wine-making infrastructure in South Africa, and how canned wine is MUCH better for the environment.
