Scottish chef Tom Kitchin hits back at bullying claims and vows he is ‘hell-bent’ on being good employer
The owner and head chef of the one Michelin star restaurant The Kitchin in Leith has admitted there were times in his career when he lost his temper with staff – but he denies being physically violent. Ahead of the awaited 2022 Michelin star announcements this week, the 44-year-old admitted he was “always chasing culinary accolades”, but said there were moments “where the way I acted was not correct”. Kitchin, one of the youngest ever to win a Michelin star at the age of 29, has come under fire in recent months after former staff members came forward alleging mistreatment while working under the Kitchin Group between 2008 and 2019.
