Glasgow chef Nico Simeone this week announced he is to give ownership of his original 111 restaurant in Kelvinside to a young Senegalese man who worked his way up from kitchen porter to head chef at the award-winning establishment.
In one of our best read stories this week, Kristy Dorsey revealed that, from April 3, the restaurant will be known as “111 by Modou” as Mr Simeone relinquishes control to Modou Diagne. It will close down on March 23 for 10 days of refurbishment before opening under the new branding.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
