A Michelin-starred chef has made a heartfelt plea to the thieves who stole his van and its entire contents, a total of 2,500 cakes, asking them to ‘do the right thing’ and donate them to people in need. Tommy Banks, a renowned chef and owner of two restaurants and a pub in North Yorkshire, announced on Instagram that his refrigerated van had been stolen from Barker Business Park in Melmerby, near Ripon, on Monday morning. The van contained cakes worth a total of £25,000, intended for the chef’s pop-up banquet at the ‘York Christmas Market’. In the video posted to social media, Banks urged the thieves not to waste the cakes, suggesting they deliver them to a community center to help those in need over the Christmas period. ‘I know you’re criminals, but maybe you can do something nice because it’s Christmas. With these cakes we could feed thousands of people,” the chef said. The stolen pies are actually savory dishes, traditional English recipes that might seem unusual to an Italian consumer: filled with steak and beer, turkey and cranberries, and pumpkin. They are enough to supply Tommy’s Pie Shop for a whole week. All items are packed in boxes with the chef’s name, which makes illegal sales difficult. Banks also urged anyone who received these cakes from suspicious sources to immediately report it to the police. The chef, also known for his role as a judge on the BBC’s Great British Menu, stressed the importance of not wasting food, especially at a time of year when many people are facing financial difficulties. His appeal has already attracted public attention, highlighting how an unfortunate event can become an opportunity to promote acts of solidarity and generosity. North Yorkshire Police, who were aware of the theft, have asked members of the public to provide any useful information. Meanwhile, Banks hasn’t lost his ironic spirit, and after asking the thieves in his Instagram video to do a selfless act by donating the cakes to those in need, he ends the caption with the words: “Also, I think your pieces of s are. “They’re thieves, and I hope you don’t get any presents this Christmas.”
