Well days one and two were both huge successes as you can see on Twitter #Obsession16 and now we have day three to look forward to.
This evening will see the gifted Michelin-starred chef Tom Sellers leading the Northcote brigade.
Tom Sellers is one of the UK’s brightest and most precocious culinary talents. In 2013, aged just 26, he opened Restaurant Story and within five months had won a Michelin star. Impressive yes, but not unexpected for a chef whose career has been on the fast-track since he was 16 when he knocked on Tom Aiken’s kitchen door. Stints at Per Se in New York and Noma in Copenhagen soon followed, as well as a Sous Chef position with mentor and Obsession festival veteran Adam Byatt at the highly acclaimed Trinity in Clapham.
At first glance, Restaurant Story seems to be in a most unlikely location – a traffic island by Tower Bridge. But the light and spacious dining room decorated with bookcases and set with 13 well-spaced tables is actually located in one of London’s foodie hot spots.
Maltby Street Market and Borough Market are both within easy walking distance as are the restaurant hubs of the Shard building, Shad Thames and Bermondsey Street.
Your view through Story’s glass frontage might be of busy Londoners battling their way through the traffic, but inside all is calm.
Sellers and his team work efficiently behind the glass screened show kitchen while diners engage in the narrative of a 10-course meal that’s packed with considered culinary technique, visual flair and, most importantly, great flavours.

We wish everyone attending tonight especially Tom Sellers and brigade a very special evening and once again we look forward to following proceedings on Twitter.
