In the newest episode of VICE’s “Munchies” series, we follow Lee Tiernan, head chef at London’s St. John’s Bread and Wine for a night of snackin’ and boozin’. Tiernan is joined by chef Fergus Henderson, London’s king of nose-to-tail cooking, proclaimed “all-seeing chef,” and founder of St. John’s Bar and Restaurant. Chef Tiernan kicks off the crawl at Bread and Wine, the St. John sister restaurant, introducing himself as the “hung over” head chef. He first takes us through a few of his restaurant’s classic dishes and then journeys on to some of his favorite grub spots in London.
