For the last few years, Hot Dinners has been rather chuffed to have been picked by the Evening Standard as one of their 1000 most influential folk in London. But no longer (sob).
This year's list is out and while we didn't make the cut, many of our friends and fellow foodies did. So in best Oscar also-ran fashion, we're putting on our 'no, honestly we're delighted for you' faces.
