Doctor Who Saved Baby Dines at Restaurant Named After Her
1 Oct
Summary
- A doctor unexpectedly dined at a restaurant named for a baby he once saved.
- The restaurant's name honors a daughter born weighing just 670g.
- A special dessert dish triggered the recognition of the doctor.
A chance encounter brought a profound sense of déjà vu to a Birmingham restaurant owner. Kray Treadwell, co-owner of 670 Grams, noticed a diner who seemed familiar but couldn't place him. The diner, Richard Mupenamunda, was celebrating his wife's birthday, having been brought to the restaurant as a surprise.
Throughout the evening, Treadwell and his partner Sacha Townsend were puzzled by the man's face. The mystery deepened when a special pre-dessert, "Tea and Toast," was served. This dish is inspired by the tradition of mothers receiving tea and toast after a safe delivery, a moment deeply significant to the couple.
The restaurant, 670 Grams, is named after Treadwell and Townsend's daughter, who was born prematurely at 23 weeks, weighing exactly 670g. The dish's story prompted Mupenamunda to reveal he was a pediatrician at Heartlands Hospital.
This revelation clicked everything into place for the restaurant owners. Dr. Richard Mupenamunda was indeed the doctor who had provided care for their fragile daughter on the neonatal ward years prior. The doctor himself had no prior knowledge of the restaurant's name or its connection to a past patient.
