Michelin-starred chef Aktar Islam & Tom Shepherd talk about opening a new restaurant and why it's important to support each other, the many times Aktar has been arrested and why skin colour should not dictate what you cook.

This is the final episode co-hosted by Michelin-starred chef Aktar Islam from Opheem in Birmingham. He has invited six exciting guests to join him and Cara Houchen, Editor of The Staff Canteen, each week.

Our guest on this episode is Tom Shepherd, former head chef of Adam's in Birmingham and soon to open his first solo venture in Lichfield. Join us as we find out where Tom is no longer welcome, the worst meal Aktar has ever had and why skin colour should not dictate what you cook.
