Around 20,000 people tuned in last night to watch Chef Nico Simeone’s live stream as he cooked the steak pie from his conceptual menu, ‘The Chippie 2.0.’
The six-course menu will run from Monday 13th July – Sunday 6th September 2020 across all the Six by Nico restaurants which reopen across the UK from Monday 13th July. Manchester and Liverpool restaurants will open first on Monday 13th July, Belfast on 15th and Glasgow and Edinburgh on the 17th. His new London Fitzrovia restaurant will open for the first time on Monday 20th July.
The live demonstration was a first for Simeone with 1,000 people cooking alongside him with ingredients after home kits were sent out to Belfast, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Manchester, Liverpool and London.
Chef Nico Simeone said, “It seemed like the perfect time to do this for our loyal community and give our customers across the UK a chance to cook up one of the most famous ‘Chippie’ dishes at home. This is the first time we’ve ever done something like this and was great to meet so many of our customer virtually, I was so impressed by some of their presentation skills and we’re now really looking forward to reopening our restaurants again”
