          Russell Norman

          British restaurateur, chef, and author (1965–2023)

          Not to be confused with New Zealand politician Russel Norman.

          Russell Norman (9 December 1965 – 23 November 2023) was a British restaurateur, chef, teacher and author.[1] In the early 2010s, he gained a unique reputation and identity as "the coolest man in food".

          He co-founded Polpo, a renowned Venetian-style tapas restaurant in London,[2] and the Italian restaurant Brutto.[3][4]

          Early life

          Russell Norman was born on 9 December 1965 in Perivale, Ealing, West London, one of six sons.[5]

          He grew up in the Twickenham suburbs and attended the Heathland School in Hounslow, West London.

          There, he excelled at drama,[6] and later studied English at the University of Sunderland.[7]

          Norman's fondness for Shakespeare came to supersede his interest in sport, to his family's bemusement.

          Russell portrayed himself as the "black sheep of the family".&
