"I always move on. I never look back" — Jeremy King, Restaurateur

Jeremy King first appeared on our podcast in the summer of 2020, when we met in a whirring office above The Wolseley, the flagship restaurant of his sprawling Corbin & King group. Two years later, following a shareholder dispute, he relinquished control of that particular empire — a difficult moment that he nonetheless describes now as "not such a bad thing." In the four years since, he has opened The Park (an excellent, humming New York brasserie); Arlington (an ingenious re-birth of the beloved old Le Caprice); and now Simpson's in the Strand, a timely resurrection of one of London's most iconic restaurants. This episode is very much a 'chapter two' to our original conversation, then — in which we touch on why restaurants need to 'have a point'; Jeremy's surprising plate-clearing talents; and why you should never get annoyed about something you'll shortly forget.
