Hospitality veteran Jess Ho talks about starting their career at one of “the big four” fast food joints, before they moved into the world of gastro pubs and high-end dining, and eventually owning their own bar. Jess tells presenter Cam Smith how food was the only thing they enjoyed during a traumatic childhood, and how their advice to anyone who wants to start a restaurant is to host a dinner party instead, because “it’s cheaper and nicer”. Jess’ adventures in hospitality, including the infamous night of “blood mountain”, can be found in their new book Raised By Wolves: a Memoir With Bite - out now via Affirm Press.
