Big Chef Takes on Little Chef
 |
Big Chef Takes on Little Chef sees Heston Blumenthal tries to turn around the fortunes of the Little Chef chain of restaurants.
Episode Info
Celebrated chef Heston Blumenthal took on an extraordinary challenge as he tried to breathe some culinary life back into Little Chef, one of Britain's most familiar but troubled food brands. Little Chef gave him a budget of £350,000 and six months to come up with a new menu and design to help put the old-fashioned chain of roadside restaurants back on the map. It was a massive clash of cultures. Could this three Michelin-starred chef forget fine dining and get to grips with what ordinary people want to eat at a roadside stop-off? After months of hard work, walk outs and a fair share of ups and downs, Heston finally succeeded and transformed one trial restaurant in Popham. If the public liked the new restaurant and profits improved, Little Chef promised to roll out Heston's vision across the country.
