Angela Dimayuga Will Work with Chef Adam Rawson on The Standard London | Eater London

"A forthcoming ground-floor hotel restaurant in King's Cross scheduled to open in early 2019 that has appointed Adam Rawson as executive chef. Rawson — a one-time Young British Foodie chef of the year and former head chef at a Peruvian-inspired Marylebone restaurant — has been training in New York under Angela Dimayuga and will work closely with the hotel's creative food director and CEO as part of a handpicked culinary team. The project is intended to extend beyond food into music, art and design in line with Dimayuga’s multidisciplinary vision. To mark the appointment Rawson developed a short, burger-focused pop-up menu showcasing dishes built around Pat LaFrieda dry-aged beef — 'The Steakhouse' (bacon, Stilton, jalapeño and garlic mayo), 'Max' (bacon, American cheese, special sauce, iceberg lettuce and pickle) and 'Regs' (American cheese, pickle, tomato, onion, ketchup and mustard) — and he has said he hopes to push boundaries and make a big, positive impact when the restaurant opens." - Adam Coghlan
