Normally you'd expect to find start-ups using street food as a way to test their food. But a new restaurant hitting London's street food scene already has that expertise in spades. Pied a Terre opened 28 years ago, but now the Michelin-starred restaurant's chef Asimakis Chaniotis and Pied à Terre Founder, David Moore are taking to the streets.
As first reported by trade title The Caterer, they're opening a new concept restaurant called Cook Love at Dinerama in Shoreditch. But, as they're at pains to say, it's going to be more than just a street food stall. Dishes will be cooked in an oil drum BBQ to create a smooth and smoky flavour. And the scallops that have long been a favourite at Pied à Terre will be making an appearance..
On the launch menu will be:
- Scallops: Wood-fired scallops with homemade seaweed butter (£7)
- Pork in brioche: Oxford sandy and black pulled leg of pork with ponzu chilli and pickles (£6)
- Cacio e Pepe: Spaghetti pasta, pecorino cheese and cracked black pepper (£4)
They say that the menu is set to evolve according to what's seasonally available.
As for the inspiration behind the name? Well just take a look at the chef's hands in the picture above...
“We’re in an exciting position to bring together some of the UK’s freshest produce with our combined knowledge of running a Michelin-star restaurant to create an exciting new foodie experience for even more Londoners. David Moore
