Mr Moran said: “This is literally the dream job for anyone interested in food. Huckleberry’s is a great restaurant and I’m confident I haven’t bitten off more than I can chew. I’m looking forward to working with Huckleberry’s chefs to come up with some inspired new challenge dishes, breaking some more world records and I’m relishing the opportunity of going head to head with members of the public who fancy taking on the Beard.”
