Last summer, Pitt Cue Co. was the talking point of London's Southbank. For three months, their trailer dished out hot, Southern US-style, slow-cooked food and instantly became a must-try experience. In January 2012, the trailer was joined by a destination restaurant in Soho, and since then there have been queues around the block.Tom Adams, Simon Anderson, Jamie Berger and Richard H.
