    World's best restaurant is French

    In light on your continued (and slightly disturbing) insistence that I move 'closer' to you I would probably spend any raise on bonus on upgraded security at my current abode rather than buying a new one.

    Surely living in Manchester, your abode already resembles that of Charlton Heston's in The Omega Man

    That said, I was a little worried that Andy was becoming star struck when I noticed him sidling up to Thomas Keller whilst vibrating slightly and frothing at the mouth.

    Thats nothing, you should have seen me when I spotted Helena Hell. Frothing at the mouth was the least of it.

    jay mentioned this last night. If I recall through the haze of Buzbag, he used the words "tented trouser"

    While I wont rehash last year's conversation about the list ( the words sham and spurious should suffice ) you should ( in all seriousness ) be congratulated for what is an excellent marketing coup

    Plenty of column inches, lots of publicity and a good night out

    RM should be proud of you and should now give you a sufficient raise to allow you to fulfill you dream of moving to London, if only enough to make it south of the river

    Obviously the menu is the same for lunch and dinner, but I can now reveal the difference between the two. At lunch they don't give you as many amuses and you don't get the "Caramel truffles, strawberry ice cream in white chocolate and orange and almond paste finaciers" (I think we just had a few fancy petits fours ?) :sad:

    I had heard that there were people who could only afford lunch there, but until now had never encountered one

    Very sad Macca, to live a life without strawberry ice cream in white chocolate.

    (Just wait till I start telling everyone what a nice chap Jay is. You'll want to be prepared for that I expect so I'm giving you fair warning).

    Enough of us have met him to know it is not true

    He is a man of dubious talents and hygene with the deep pockets of his employer to buy acceptance. Er, that's it.

    Chef/writer - Now if they had been in the kitchen talking about my supper, that would be inspirational. On a stage collecting a bauble, not a quiver. I leave that to Lynes

    hey simon, who pissed in your cornflakes this morning

    Have you not noticed, he is always like this, although much as I hate it I do largely agree with him.

    by the very nature of these mega chefs being who they are they've become celebrities

    Only in their own imaginations in most cases.

    are factions forming :biggrin:

    Yup

    Those who hate celebrity chefs and those who want to be one :biggrin:

    Am I right in thinking that you would rather not have heard about this gathering of influential chefs and restaurateurs?

    To be honest I could not give a monkey's sphincter if they are in town. No more than I care if J Lo is in town puffing up her new film/record.

    I could however give a damn if they were in the kitchen on the night I was there. They are after all chefs not celebrities ( someone hand Lynes the smelling salts would you?)
