Theodore Kyriakou was born in Athens, and has lived in London for the past nine years, during which time he co-founded and was head chef at the original Livebait restaurant in South London. He then went on to set up a second Livebait restaurant in London's Covent Garden. A year later Theodore left the company to open a new restaurant - called The Real Greek - it is probably the only restaurant in Britain which serves authentic and genuine Greek cuisine, and showcases the sensational new Greek wines. Charles Champion won the 1997 Glenfiddich Restaurant Writer of the Year award for his weekly food and restaurant columns in the London Evening Standard magazine. He also writes and edits a Guide to London Restaurants which is published by Rough Guides, and contributes to a number of other newspapers and magazines ranging from Bon Appetit in America to the Daily Mail and House & Garden in the UK. He has appeared on a variety of television and radio programmes.
