Jeremy Allen White talks Springsteen, The Bear & his dream sub order - Table Manners Podcast

There’s few people I’d move my birthday plans for, but when we heard Jeremy Allen White was in town, we said ‘yes, chef!’ He’s the superstar face of The Bear, and is now playing 'The Boss', Bruce Springsteen, in his brand new biopic ‘Deliver Me From Nowhere’. Mum rustled up her foolproof onion quiche, I made an Autumn salad from NYT cooking and we sat down for lunch with Jeremy. We heard all about his favourite places to eat in London, New York & Chicago, filming The Bear and cooking for his co-stars, having his eyes painted to play Bruce, bulking up for Iron Claw, cooking for his kids, how he got the acting bug, and we find out if a musical or rom-com may be on the cards in the future. Jeremy’s new film ’Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere’ is in cinemas now.
