EVERY HUMAN being on the planet lovesFOOD. From North Shields to South Shields – not across the river, but the long way right around the earth – it’s everyone’s favourite thing to stick in our mouths when we’re hungry. But believe it or not, eating food is more than just a passing fad like clackers, Rubik’s cubes or Brexit. Because believe it or not, we could not survive without it! Every one of us has to ingest animal or plant material on a regular basis to provide ourself with the cellular energy necessary to stimulate growth and maintain life.
And our favourite A-List celebs are no different; they would simply DIE if they didn’t eat food! But it’s not just any old grub the stars pile on their plates. While we plebs chow down in fast food joints and salmonella-infested chain pubs, Tinseltown’s greatest fill their bellies inside swanky ‘Michelin-starred’ restaurants.
Just ask ‘BIG’ JIM BETAMAX.
For nearly THREE weeks, top chef Jim owned and operated the iconic triple Michelin-starred street food popup ‘Big Jim’s Roadside Burgers’ situated just off the A449 outside Droitwich. Thanks to his internationally recognised culinary skills, Jim’s unassuming 16ft double-axle catering van became THE go-to bistro for the Hollywood celebrity set.
“You name ’em, I’ve served ’em,” chuckles the 54-year-old self-taught culinarian. used to stop off every morning for a bacon barm with extra brown sauce. would usually plump for a chip butty – plus a cheeky Double Decker for the glovebox. and always used to go halves on my ‘Big Jim’s Gutbuster Breakfast’ – three fried eggs plus burger and beans inside two slices of thick Wonderloaf.”
