After growing up in the south of France, Fabien Spagnolo and Max Truel moved to London and met in the kitchen of the Michelin-starred Pollen Street Social and later worked together at Frenchie Covent Garden.

The pair then parted ways with Spagnolo moving to the Michelin-starred kitchen at The Ninth, Fitzrovia, before becoming sous-chef at The Corner Room, and Truel working at renowned Mayfair restaurant Stem.

In 2017, they reunited to create Kitchen F.M, a roving pop-up kitchen in London and the south of France, serving a seasonal menu simple, modern dishes inspired by their French and Mediterranean roots, and influenced by their time in London.

Previous residencies include the duo’s 2018 pop-up at Nest, Hackney, and more recently at Borough’s Great Guns and Crispin restaurant.

As part of Adam Handling’s initiative to offer up-and-coming chefs a platform to showcase their talents, The Frog Hoxton guest chef series will see an exciting line-up collaborate with Adam and the Hoxton team over the next couple of months.

For one night only, chefs are invited to create a unique menu to showcase their individual style, all surrounded by the vibrant East London Restaurant.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION: The team will get in touch to check dietary requirement and book a time slot between 18.30 and 21.30 depending on the restaurant's capacity.
