Brace yourself for a riotous ride through the highs, lows, and absolute madness of Michelin-level cooking with the one and only Daniel Clifford, chef-owner of the legendary Midsummer House. In this epic episode of The Go-To Food Podcast, Daniel talks candidly about winning (and fearing the loss of) his stars, why he still shows up for every service after 21 years, and how a surprise phone call from Michelin left him literally dropping the phone in disbelief.
From getting scammed out of £28,000 in wine by a fake Premier League footballer to cooking a 12-course private dinner in Peter Jones' house (and accidentally triggering the sprinklers mid-service), Daniel shares outrageous behind-the-scenes tales that are equal parts hilarious and jaw-dropping. He reminisces about working under Marco Pierre White, sleeping in kitchens, cutting himself mid-service, and sneaking Harvey’s chef jackets. There are deeply moving reflections too—on fatherhood, burnout, and why lockdown gave him his first proper family Easter.
We also dive into Daniel’s love of classical French cooking, the joy of lunch at Stockholm’s Frantzén (and that unforgettable truffle toast), his secret kebab obsession, and the next-generation chef he's quietly training—his own stepson. Raw, funny, and packed with heart, this is a must-watch for anyone who cares about the real stories behind the food. If you’ve ever wanted to know what it really takes to earn, keep, and grow a Michelin-starred restaurant—this is it.
