29. Missy Flynn - From Dive Bars To Soho: Building A Restaurant With Soul

mardi 16 décembre 2025 • Durée 59:11

This week on Empty Plates, I’m joined by Missy Flynn co-founder of Rita’s and a deeply thoughtful voice in London’s hospitality scene. We talk about Rita’s as a homage to the American dive bar a place rooted in welcome, memory, and belonging and why dining doesn’t need to look like anything other than what feels true.

We also explore identity in the food industry, the pressure to perform authenticity, and the reality of being a restaurant owner in an increasingly politicised landscape. Missy reflects on growing up in pubs, the communities built through service, and how those early experiences shaped her approach to food and culture.
