92. Luca Longobardi — Co-owner of 108 Garage & Southam Street

Luca Longobardi has had a crazy life. Eight years ago, he was working on Wall Street when he was wrongly accused of laundering money for the Italian mafia and was sent to a maximum-security Brazilian jail for 30 days. Now, he's the co-owner of critically-acclaimed London gastronomic restaurant 108 Garage and neighbouring three-story contemporary dining and drinking hang-out, Southam Street — both of which he founded with chef Chris Denney, who he found on classifieds site Gumtree. The pair are now scouting a location to launch another site in New York City, and their newly released book, titled "Not a Cookbook," tells the story of their lives running parallel to each other until they met to create 108 Garage.
