Tiberius Tudor was born in Romania but forged in the heat of the kitchen, nowhere more so than in the smoky, red-hot fires of the Texas barbecue scene, at some of the most prominent restaurants and smokehouses in the state. With passion, skill, and character in equal measure, Tiberius then carved a new path for himself, landing in the UK and becoming Head Chef at Christina’s in Barking before the burning desire within him stoked his fires of creativity and a new venture was born. Holy Smoke & Burgers opened in Hackney Wick in July 2020 and brought Tiberius’ passionate and powerful brand of culinary skill to East London. Burnt Smokehouse followed in nearby Leyton in July 2022, to more critical and local acclaim. But the visionary fires within Tiberius’ core are rumbling once again. It’s time for a new adventure—one of a different kind yet fuelled by the same character, passion, and talent that people love—and fear!
After years of applying his talent to various culinary scenes and endeavouring to unlock their deepest secrets, Tiberius has acquired a mind-searing amount of very particular knowledge that could only ever be discovered through the fusion of time, immense skill, and irrepressible passion. He is now in the fortunate position of being able to bestow that knowledge onto others. The Tiberius Tudor consultancy service is about teaching the practical, philosophical, and personal lessons learnt from years spent in the heart of the fire to those willing to listen. Topics range from the practical (such as costing and equipment considerations) to the philosophical (such as kitchen design and recipe creation) and everything in between. Examples include:
Equipment – A bad workman blames his tools; a great chef needs excellent ones.
Costing – Combining the right supplier with the right portion size is crucial to profitability and long-term business health.
Kitchen Setup – Getting the right stuff in the right place is paramount to creating an agile, effective, and efficient working environment.
Menu and Recipe Development – Understand how to balance traditional offerings with your unique creative flair.
Training and Development – How to take what you know and make sure your staff know. Having a versatile, knowledgeable team is as critical as it is confidence-inspiring.
And more!
