Oh, yes. Come on.

0

79.966 - 89.058 Nick Grimshaw

That's a lot of, a lot of, you know. Come on. There's a lot of Catholicism in that name. Oh, come on. A lot of family heritage, a lot of pressure. Okay.

Give me your great, best Italian accent, your full name.

Oh, yes.

97.889 - 100.373 Nick Grimshaw

Anyway, welcome to Dish. Welcome to Dish.

101.334 - 104.92 Unknown

Here's a question. It's the Brit Awards this coming weekend.

Chapter 5: What was Chris's experience with his first pizza?

104.94 - 105.681 Nick Grimshaw

I'm in Manchester now.

0

105.721 - 123.406 Unknown

First time it's been in Manchester. First time out of London. It's going to be in Manchester. And Mish is coming. He's working on it. But it's on a Saturday night in Manchester. And we're coming back on the Sunday. And then obviously I have work on Monday. And I've not drank yet this year. So I thought, probably we'll drink at the Brit Awards.

0

123.486 - 123.646 Nick Grimshaw

Yeah.

0

123.666 - 127.17 Unknown

Because of celebration. Little sips on. Yeah, little sips on.

0

Chapter 6: How did participating in Strictly Come Dancing impact Chris emotionally?

127.65 - 142.424 Unknown

And then I just thought, getting back on that train on Sunday night, shouldn't it be nice? Getting back, getting your pyjamas on, ordering a Chinese. Inspired by Tom Davis last week. I think the Sunday after the Brits will be a day for, as Tom called it, the big five.

0

142.564 - 145.567 Nick Grimshaw

So you're going to do Kentucky Fried Chicken, McDonald's.

0

146.148 - 148.77 Unknown

A pizza. Pizza. Chinese and an Indian.

0

148.852 - 151.696 Nick Grimshaw

And an Indian. Yeah, the big five. Oh, wow.

0

152.157 - 153.76 Unknown

I don't know if I had time for the big five.

154.1 - 160.75 Nick Grimshaw

I suddenly had in my head that there was a fried breakfast involved in that. Or you could ditch the Indian and have the breakfast first. You can make it your own.

Chapter 7: What makes Angela's cottage pie recipe special?

160.871 - 165.518 Unknown

You could do your own. Anyway, I was just thinking, maybe it's quite nice to indulge in that on a Sunday night.

0

165.538 - 171.468 Nick Grimshaw

If you do, I want to see photographic evidence at every stage. I mean, it would be exhausting eating all that food.

0

171.488 - 173.592 Unknown

Yeah, you'd have to get up early. Maybe it's not the day for it.

0

173.612 - 177.5 Nick Grimshaw

Anyway, see, I don't know. Mish might be challenged by it. Depends how much you drink the night before.

0

177.541 - 186.639 Unknown

That would be the key. Mish does the big five. Not as a challenge. You can eat. Today on Dish, we have Chris McCausland. coming to see us.

Chapter 8: What insights does Chris share about his tour, Yonks?

186.739 - 205.331 Unknown

You will know as a comedian, of course. You will know him as the winner of Strictly Come Dancing, of course. And he said to talk about his memoir, Keep Laughing, but I presume said in the Strictly style of Keep Dancing. He's also on a massive tour. And I mean massive, it's called Yonks. And it actually started two years ago.

0

205.711 - 213.382 Nick Grimshaw

It's huge. And he tours a lot. I mean, I think he's one of these comedians that might even do two gigs in some days. He does, which I think it must be exhausting.

0

213.563 - 213.863 Unknown

Wow.

0

213.983 - 215.425 Nick Grimshaw

But he does it.

0

215.666 - 229.225 Unknown

So he's going to be here. We're going to talk all about his book, talk about the tour, talk about winning Strictly, talk about getting you on Strictly. Oh, that'll just snap. Would you actually do it, do you think? No. You've only got seven restaurants and a podcast to run. And a product line in Waitrose.

229.245 - 230.166 Angela Hartnett

Yeah, I'll just tell Sam.

230.186 - 232.209 Unknown

And a life to live and two dogs. That's it.

233.25 - 235.153 Angela Hartnett

I can easily do that. Come on.

235.133 - 251.421 Unknown

So before we get Chris in, we should talk about seasonality and what is going on in the world of food in February time. Hello. Hello. Welcome to the dish. Welcome to the dish. This is a gorgeous flower I've just been handed. Yes. An artichoke.
