King-of-New-York David Chang, the chef famous for his amazing steamed pork buns and the three-Michelin starred Momomuku Ko restaurant, will cook in London for one night only, on October 9, at the excellent Hibiscus restaurant, owned by his buddy Claude Bosi.

I was lucky enough to hang out with both chefs recently in Lapland, Finland, where the third edition of the cult chef happening Cook it Raw took place. We even foraged herbs together (!). Only then did I realize the caliber of chef Bosi's cooking. He worked under none other than the master Alain Passard, at L'Arpège, alongside Pascal Barbot of L'Astrance (in Paris), before moving to London. Hibiscus and Momofuku Ko rank #49 and #26 respectively in the World's 50 Best Restaurants.
