Nottingham's very own 'Codfather' will be showing how to cook the perfect fish and chips live on TV this weekend. John Molnar, the boss of the Cod's Scallops chain of chippies, will appear on BBC's Saturday Kitchen on Saturday, May 28.
He will be cooking traditional deep-fried battered fish and chips and oven-baked hake on the show hosted by Matt Tebbutt. "This is my first live cooking demo. I haven't slept since Wednesday. I'm nervous, I'm excited, anything could happen.
"I could cut my finger, oil could go everywhere or I could get verbal diarrhoea. It's only six minutes. I might hate it or I might love it but it's great to get a local business on national TV," said John, who runs chippies in Wollaton, Carrington, Long Eaton, Market Harborough, Harborne and the newly-opened restaurant and takeaway at Wilford Lane Retail Park in West Bridgford.
