For our season finale, the legendary Brummie chef Glynn Purnell sits down with James to chat all things food. Here, Glynn goes back to his humble beginnings of how making beans on toast for his siblings led him to finding his love for cooking. He shares the incredible moment he was awarded a Michelin Star, what to expect from the diverse food scene in Birmingham, what his time was like on Great British Menu and lots more.
