Our guest on this episode has been called the prince of pop ups, tycoon of temporary restaurants and Baron of barbecues, and the Sunday Times called him London's Pop-Up King. 

Jimmy Garcia runs his hugely successful catering business like a creative agency, designing brand experiences with food for clients that include Google, Meta, Netflix, Pinterest, and Spotify. 

He's a zero food waste champion with a passion for seasonality, locality, and provenance that ensures his food not only tastes and looks incredible, but also tells the story. His career journey to date has been a roller coaster ride doing things his unique way making the most of the luck he’s been given. 

This podcast was powered by Wonder, an independent specialist creative events agency reimagining what’s possible across business experiences. They do this by helping businesses think differently about how they connect with the people that matter to them. We hugely appreciate their support in bringing this podcast series to life.

Our sound and mix engineer is Matteo Magariello and our producer is Peter Kerwood.
