Two renowned chefs are to take to the streets of London in a converted Airstream caravan as part of the London Restaurant Festival.

Jun Tanaka and Mark Jankel are to drive around the capital in their caravan kitchen cooking gourmet food for busy Londoners.

Special dishes include braised beef with roast carrots and celeriac mash and smoked salmon with beetroot, crushed potato and horseradish, thisislondon.co.uk reported.

“We thought it would be great to do something more accessible for the Restaurant Festival – fundamentally, it should be for all Londoners,” said Mr Jankel, who is chef and founder of The Food Initiative.

He explained that the concept is based on the trucks in Los Angeles and New York that serve street food.

“We wanted to push the boundaries of what you can achieve in terms of quality out of a dish served in a box,” the expert added.
