Michelin-starred chef makes Christmas plea after thieves steal 2,500 pies
Briefly

Michelin-starred chef Tommy Banks has made a heartfelt appeal to thieves who stole his van and 2,500 Christmas pies, urging them to return the food for needy families. He articulated concern over food waste, stating, "The pies are all in boxes with my name on so not very easy to sell. If you are the thieves and read this I urge you to drop the pies off somewhere. So we can at least give them to people who need food and they are not wasted." He emphasized the importance of generosity, especially during the festive season.
Banks's plea was not only about recovering his stolen goods but also focused on the broader impact of food waste in society. He stressed, "There are so many people in need, especially over the Christmas period. That food could really make a difference in many lives. It's heartbreaking to think it might just be thrown away instead of being put to good use." His message is a reminder to the community about compassion and proper food handling during the holidays.
