the "young" behind young&foodish

 
  • I’m Daniel Young and I invite you to try
    food you know as you've never known it.
  • My mission is to seek out the best, from burgers to
    bolognese, pizza to pastrami…
  • …and then challenge great chefs like Giorgio Locatelli
    to do better at one of my one-off events.
  • My London pop-ups have starred Lionel Lévy, up from
    Marseille for a one-night-only BurgerMonday…
  • Arcangelo Dandini, Rome's pope of pasta, on a rare visit
    to London exclusively for a SpagWednesday….
  • and Nigella Lawson, serving her delectable cakes and putting the "tea" in CoffeeSaturday.
  • "Daniel Young is a café fan obsessed with comfort food.
    Big attractions are his pop-up events."
    – The Times
  • "Mondays-Saturdays foodies are flocking to eat a specific meal,
    cooked by a different chef, in a new place."
    – Evening Standard
  • "Daniel Young has curated a series of dining events that
    have become the toast of the pop-up scene."
    – Stylist

events

  • The Barbarian is back! Not Masterchef champion Tim Anderson of soon-to-open Nanban but his Japanese-themed, umami-packed #LondonBurgerBash burger. SOLD OUT
  • When Max Sali is in charge of the dining room and his brother Federico is in the kitchen your meal is so much prepared or served as it is organised. If you've been to Tinello you know what that's all about. If not you'll get a special introduction to the Sali brothers' warmth and food at SpagWednesday, only on Formica tables set with paper napkins. SOLD OUT

The Straight DOP on Mozzarella & Margherita

margherita-classic-and-extrOrder a Margherita at the best pizzerias of Naples and you typically get a pizza topped with fior di latte, a mozzarella made from cow’s milk. Don’t believe any Neapolitan who tells you the only mozzarella his brethren will tolerate on a pizza is from the milk of domestic water buffalo.

Espresso Salvation, 443 FT from British Museum

With a gleaming white La Marzocco FB80 espresso machine for an altar and a pop-up tent for a canopy, barista Gennaro Di Mattia presides on hallowed ground.
