Cutting Close: Getting to know Tom Kerridge EP.5

This week on Cutting Close, Josh Hughes and Caolan Carney-Slee are joined by chef, author and TV personality Tom Kerridge. From running Michelin-starred restaurants to working alongside Marcus Rashford, helping tackle food poverty across the UK, Tom’s built a career that goes far beyond the kitchen. In this episode, the boys sit down with Tom for a proper honest conversation about the pressure of working in the food industry, the reality of addiction, mental health, and how intense kitchen culture can affect people behind the scenes. But as always with Cutting Close, it’s not all serious — there’s plenty of laughs throughout, stories from the industry, and the usual chaos from Josh and Caolan trying to hold it together. Tom opens up about where his love for cooking started, the challenges he’s faced throughout his career, and what’s inspired him to keep pushing forward. The conversation also touches on the importance of helping others, creating opportunities through food, and using your platform to make a real difference. It’s a funny, honest and genuinely inspiring episode with one of the biggest names in British cooking, and we’re buzzing for you to hear it. Let us know your favourite part of the episode and what questions you would’ve asked Tom. Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3UeWfKP...
