British chef Thomas Straker, known for his viral presence and success with Notting Hill's restaurant, is launching a new eatery in Soho, NYC, taking over the former site of Lucky Strike. Straker plans to incorporate seasonal ingredients and his distinctive cooking style, which includes charcoal cooking and flatbreads. He recognizes the discerning nature of New Yorkers, which adds pressure to meet expectations. Straker also highlights the importance of sourcing quality ingredients and aims to create a vibrant space for communal dining, drawing on Lucky Strike's nostalgic legacy.
We're cooking over charcoal, we've got a big pizza oven and we'll do our signature flatbreads.
New Yorkers are super discerning. They eat out constantly. So the pressure's on, but the pressure's on anywhere.
We aim to do it justice and do ourselves justice by creating a space where people can enjoy food together.
We'll have to do an incredible amount of sourcing out in the States, finding the best ingredients we can possibly buy.
