Bites: Pierre-White for the chopping block
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Having launched his small-screen career last September on ITV's Hell's Kitchen and used that exposure to leverage product-hawking opportunities (stock cubes), Marco Pierre White seems to have realised the really big bucks lie across the Atlantic. One-time protégé Gordon Ramsay already fronts the lucrative Hell's Kitchen and Kitchen Nightmares franchises there, and White is set to star in The Chopping Block, which will see eight couples battle to run two Manhattan restaurants.
As one of our chefs goes over there, so one of America's exports is on its way back here. During its 1980s heyday, in a relatively limited London scene, The Chicago Rib Shack was an undeniable hit. Now, just shy of a decade after it closed, it is to return to Knightsbridge this May, just around the corner from the original Shack. It remains to be seen whether the concept has aged well, but it would be difficult to do worse than the previous tenants of the site, the woefully misguided Brazilian, Mocoto.
