From Naomi Campbell's Agent to Gourmet Chef: The Unlikely Journey of Jonathan Phang
This week on The Tamp Podcast, we sit down with the incredible Jonathan Phang, a man whose life has navigated high fashion, culinary excellence and profound tragedy.
Jonathan opens up about his early career managing the careers of models like Naomi Campbell and Tyra Banks and how he pivoted to follow his true passion for food, rooted in his Chinese-Caribbean heritage. We discuss the allure of his travel show Gourmet Trains, the emotional depth of writing his cookbook The Pepperpot Club and how his experience as a survivor of the Marchioness tragedy shaped his approach to life and creativity.
The Tamp Podcast is produced by MIRACLE MAGNET STUDIOS, hosted by Dorian Needs and filmed inside his independent coffee shop, Tamp Coffee, in West London.
Real conversations, real people, no filters.
