Fergus, thanks for joining us. I am eagerly anticipating my first visit to St. John next month.

Do you feel that your success has helped spread the nose-to-tail gospel among other professional chefs and home cooks? Do your suppliers report increased demand for produce and protein that emphasize flavor over convenience? And do UK consumers seem more open to eating/cooking all the glories categorized as 'offal'?

I wouldn't think of it as a gospel, there's no zeal or drive in what we do in that sense...it's just following our pleasures.

In terms of greater demand for certain produce, who knows what effect we have and one doesn't like to presume. Again, we're not setting out to change anyone elses kitchen. Hope they come and enjoy ours.
