Biography
Amiel writes and edits cooking-related stories for all parts of the magazine and website; sometimes they even let him in the kitchen. He prefers his espresso standing up, his lunch out of the office, and believes firmly that eating in bed is a depraved, vulgar behavior.

By Amiel Stanek Verified| Bon Appetit Verified Twenty years ago this month, Gourmet magazine devoted an entire issue to what was then a rather audacious claim: That London was, as the all-caps cover line declared, “The Best Place to Eat in the World Right Now.” Over the 180 pages that followed, the case was vigorously made. An A-to-Z celebration of everything from the city’s breakfast culture to its open-air markets. Nigel Slater’s paean to the likes of St. John and the River Café, places that still hold sway today.

By Amiel Stanek Verified| Bon Appetit Verified Almost all of the (many) reviews, think pieces, and posts about the Yellow Bittern, London’s most controversial restaurant, start with these facts. The restaurant has 18 seats. It is only open for lunch, seatings at noon and 2 p.m., and is closed on the weekends. It has no website, no social media presence (save that of its chef, Hugh Corcoran—more on that later), and reservations can only be made by telephone or, famously, by postcard. There’s a lefty bookstore in the basement. Cash only, please.
