Hello! Welcome back to What’s The Story? Hash Brown Glory! With your hosts, Tom Bower and Lee Harding of The Rustic Kitchen & Deli!

It’s been a while since our last episode…

We do have an excuse.

Way back in 2025, RKD suffered a disastrous fire that destroyed a lot of the building, we were closed for months, but, we’re now back up and running and we’re delighted to welcome back the firefighters that attended!

We wanted to do something to show our gratitude, so we did the thing we do best. We created a dish.

After learning what their go to foods are, we created the THREE ZERO PAPA ONE. A stunning medley of poached eggs, roasted chorizo, toasted sourdough, Aleppo pepper flakes, avocado, spinach and cherry tomatoes with £2 from every dish going towards the firefighters charity.

So, this week we hosted the firefighters that helped save Rustic for a breakfast they’ll never forget, their very own THREE ZERO PAPA ONE. A few even got behind the mics and cameras and joined us to talk about how it went down when they got the call about RKD.

We also have news!

We entered into the Pie Awards and we won...well you’ll have to find out what we won by listening to the episode!

As ever, thank you for listening.
