But if you hadn't followed our advice to get a table, the minute booking opened, you might be more than a bit miffed at missing out. After all, there's nothing worst for FOMO than seeing everyone on your Insta
...Blue Hill at Stone Barns chef Dan Barber brings his food waste pop-up to London. We went to check it out.
The Dan Barber pop-up, wastED London on the roof at Selfridges, is going to be one of the food highlights of the year in London, but don't just take our word for it. We caught up with the chef himself.
