GANT Rugger

Cook GANT Rugger

The campaign for GANT Rugger Fall/Winter 2012 features our good friends from New York restaurant The Fat Radish. Not only do they make great food, they also look great doing it.

FAT RADISH

The Fat Radish was founded by two Brits, Ben Towill and Phil Winser, and is located on 17 Orchard Street on Lower East Side, New York. Ben and Phil met as classmates at Marlborough College in Wiltshire, England. In 2005 Ben moved to New York and started working as a sous-chef at renowned restaurant The London NYC. His childhood friend Phil soon followed him to New York and in 2008 they started a catering business delivering organic food. They soon made a name for themselves and as business grew they opened up The Fat Radish in 2010 in an old sausage factory in Chinatown. The restaurant is relaxed, airy and elegant. The menu is diverse and bound by one philosophy – simple, healthy, delicious dishes created with well-sourced, seasonal ingredients.
