"A new outpost on Kingsland Road from celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay is slated to open later this year as a more casual spin on his 'authentic Asian eating house' concept. The owner submitted a planning application seeking a minor variation to the premises layout while keeping existing licensed activities, opening hours and conditions unchanged; the proposed name and description point to a noodle-focused menu and a bar rather than the brooding, formal dining style of the original. The project will take over a space formerly occupied by a fast-casual chicken restaurant and has already drawn critical coverage accusing the concept of cultural misappropriation." - Adam Coghlan
