In an age where ‘food culture’ is dominated by TV presenters, celebrity chefs and fast food chains, New Foodies brings real people making real food to the forefront.
In this first episode, writer and street food connoisseur King Adz tells us of his enthusiasm for a legendary local curry spot on Back Piccadilly in Manchester.
Says Adz: “My definition of street food doesn’t have to be in the street, it’s just not a posh restaurant. […] It’s not a huge menu, always just two or three dishes, and the guy or the lady who makes does it all day in front of you.”
