Welcome back for the last time this season to the Posh Cockney Podcast, where each week we have covered the latest hospitality industry news and talk about the Coronavirus pandemic which is affecting us all. Today's Hospitality Titan is an award winning culinary genius and a business mogul, oh and he's only 26. His name is Luke Thomas, he owns Blacks in London https://www.blacksclub.com/and many other businesses around the world. Luke Thomas, born in North Wales in 1993, grew up watching foodies like other kids watch footballers. After starting behind a butchers block aged 11 and in professional kitchens at 12, Luke went on to cook with some of the biggest names in food around the World before launching his first restaurant at 18 with Mark Fuller & Iron Maiden managers (Phantom) to launch ‘Luke’s Dining Room’ which went on to win restaurant of the year shortly afterwards. Then came Luke’s first cookbook which was published by Penguin, a pop-up in Mayfair celebrating British Food & Music (Retro Feasts) which is now permanently located in Dubai with more locations on the way. A bunch of awards, TV appearances, collaborations and partnerships with leading Global brands along the way has led Luke to launching a new London venue; Blacks Club. Luke has appeared on TV shows like Great British Menu, This Morning and Russel Howard’s Good News, he is also working on new TV show’s in the UK & USA. Under Luke’s holding company (LTD) he wholly & partially owns Blacks Club, The Coffee Collaborative, SEN5E Food Co, Retro Feasts & FastFine. I hope you enjoy the show and we will see you again in July for season 2! We have some MEGA plans and HUGE Titans for you! Thank you all for your support!  Love from Liam and the Posh Cockney Team x
