Jay Rayner Writer, broadcaster and restaurant critic Media Masters – February 27, 2020 Listen to the podcast online, visit www.mediamasters.fm Welcome to Media Masters, a series of one-to-one interviews with people at the top of the media game. Today, I’m joined by the award-winning writer, journalist and broadcaster Jay Rayner. Best known as restaurant critic for the Observer, he’s written on everything from crime and politics, to cinema, theatre, and the visual arts. His television credits include MasterChef, Countdown, and The One Show, and Jay also present food panel show, The Kitchen Cabinet on Radio 4. Jay also presents his own podcast, Out to Lunch, in which he interviews stars in a fabulous restaurant setting. The author of four novels and seven works on nonfiction, his latest book, My Last Supper: One Meal a Lifetime in the Making, became a sell-out tour. He’s also an accomplished jazz musician, and tours regularly with his band, the Jay Rayner Quartet. Jay, thank you for joining me. Pleasure to be here. God, it makes me sound very busy, doesn’t it?

And people sort of say, “How do you fit all that in?” I say, “Well, I’m not doing all of it at the same time.” So if you just work your diary, you can get quite a lot done. Didn’t you ever just fancy standing at a lathe and doing a regular job? I sometimes think of that.
