Dover Street Market in Haymarket

By | London | No Comments

 Dover Street Market moved to a new location in Haymarket street where apparently was the building where Burberry started in 1910! Burberry moved out 8 years ago and moved to Regent street. The property is now owned by Lord Sugar who was their previous landlord in Dover Street. It’s 3 times the space so it’s a bigger store and it’s so beautiful!!! I’m so out of place in this store ( haha! ) but I love looking around at the display, observing how the people are dressed, I LOVE the store! #DoverStreetMarketLondon #H2HLondondover-street-market-in-haymarket-1  As we entered Dover Street Market we met Joey Asunción who is part Filipino though he was born and grew up in New Orleans. He lived in SF for 12 years, moved to NYC for 13 years and 5 months ago moved to London  and now works here. Look for him when you go here  #DoverStreetMarketLondon #H2HLondon #H2HPeople

Of course Dad is drawn to them as he lovess animals and has a few of these himself! These are all sold already and ready to be delivered to their owners ranging from £1k to £4K Apparently these are from the antique collection of Emma Hawkins, a 24 yr old taxidermist who grew up around these as her Father is an antique dealer. She only sells antique animals as she doesn’t believe in killing animals but in preservation for historical purposes. Well my dad doesn’t believe in killing animals too. He just stuffs his pets that die.

So cozy!!restaurant-story-4restaurant-story-7 restaurant-story-14restaurant-story-9 There are 2 kitchens – one up

restaurant-story-28

and one down where they do the prep
 restaurant-story-50 restaurant-story-8  restaurant-story-1 My pretty cousin Cara Jalandoni Davis ( daughter of Tita Ana @annajalandonidavis ) is the reason we are in Restaurant Story @rest_story She is a chef here

We are so proud to be related to talented Chef Cara Davis @caramariamichelle . She was busy during our lunch at @rest_story as she was working on pass. So we were happy to see her in short intervals. restaurant-story-cara-davis-sous-chef-2016

I was stalking her in the kitchen and watching her in action.

She is only in her 20s and she has achieved so much!! She started at the age of 15 at Kultura Restaurant and worked for Chef Ted Corrado at C5 at the Royal Ontario Museum. On her senior year in high school (2010), she won the gold medal at Skills Canada which earned her a scholarship at CIA ( Culinary Institute of America NYC) and got a 4 month internship at Alinea under Chef Grant Achatz. After graduating from CIA she was entremetier at Eleven Madison Park (NYC), under Chef Daniel Humm. She also went to the French Culinary Institute in NYC for the pastry program and graduated with distinction and in the Dean’s List. She then moved to Arzak in San Sebastian for 2 months. She went back to Toronto and worked at George Restaurant under Chef Lorenzo Loseto ( 2014 winner of the Gold Medal Plates). In 2015 she was one of the semi finalists for the Young Chef for 2015 and she moved to London and is now sous chef at Restaurant Story under Chef Tom Sellers @tomsstory who is super amazing. She’s so lucky to be working with him. Looking forward to following her wherever she will be especially when she opens her own restaurant #H2HChefs #H2HPeople #RestaurantStory #MichelinStar #H2HLondonrestaurant-story-40restaurant-story-34restaurant-story-11 restaurant-story-10The menu is like a storybook with chapters
