EP 156 - Scott Hallsworth - Founder & Chef - Freak Scene

Meet Scott Hallsworth. As head chef at the acclaimed Nobu for six
years, Australian-born Scott has mastered the art of Japanese
cuisine. His modern style combined with the explosive smoky,
umami flavours found in his dishes make him one of London's most
popular chefs.


Nobu was where Scott learnt how to cook Japanese food at the
highest level and spent six years at the helm of the
Michelin-starred restaurant, even helping open a new branch in
Melbourne. However, he grew tired of creating recipes for the
menus without making a name for himself and decided to leave to
set up his own ventures, including setting up the hugely
successful Kurobuta restaurants.


Fast forward to 2017, Scott sold Kurobuta and opened up Freak
Scene, a three-month pan-Asian pop-up in Farringdon which proved
to be another huge hit. Pre-Covid, Freak Scene went on to become
the ever-popular restaurant in the heart of Soho, London and is
now opening its door at a new location in the coming months.


Strap in, press play and enjoy listening to Scott's fascinating
story.
