Dear eGullet UK I saw these and thought of you Now don't say i never do anything for you

I have to agree with the above, i went on the 11th and had almost exaclty the same menu, the baked potato foam was probably the best thing i have tasted all year. The Petit-fours trolley is a threat/challenge/dream in one. Everything excecuted to a superb standard Just gutted we didn't get the vodka lemon sorbet but we did get the most brilliant tiny eton mess

I've had my best meal in London here, better than RHR or any of the other 2* in town.

Your photos are great oh wise one Have spent the morning looking at them instead of working

Derek the scottish lad one, i'm glad he did, he seemed like a really decent lad and when he was asked in his heat what he wanted in a career was one of the few that said he wanted to learn as much as possible. Thought it was the best Masterchef series by far

I wonder if Greg has any involvement then, in them slipping in constant references, in a claim that by association, he is actually viewed as somehow linked to and/or equivalent to a michelin inspector ← Yeah he could award scores as: Cooorrrrrs Urrrrghs I could eat a buckets

. ← but Baldy Greg is completely useless - all he can do is stand there agreeing with his colleague and trying not to look too out of his depth. ← Or letting out a primal grunt when he gets to dessert, COR!!!

What was annoying last night was that none of the chefs on monday should of gone through and 2 if not 3 should of gone through last night. If they are all cack none of them should be going through. It's the fact that the show it's all so template driven every sigle episode and second Cooking Doesn't get better than this, Two michelin stars since 1991, he understands flavour, right that's him discarded and leaves these two head to head. I do think Michel Roux jr is doing a great job and coming across really well, actually telling people the secret of teaching the classics and getting these classics on TV everynight.

anyone see this story? http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/worl...icle4446225.ece

Short term - El Bulli cost £350 and was a bargin, think we got off a bit lightly as they were giving us free Cava for a while as the waiter was delighted Barca had one the champions league the day before and was trying to cheer me up as Arsenal had lost it Long term - Blind Lemon Alley in Brighton - I got a bit drunk at the meal and proposed shortly afterwards - Still paying for that one financially and emotionally

Imagine getting to taste the best food Britain had to offer then having to sit next to Piers Morgan to eat it. I wonder if for the steak dish the person next to him got a plastic knife just in case

NNNNOOOOO!!!!! Ballbag wins Well i know where i'll be eating next time i'm down in the south west (Nathan Outlaw) but after that i'd rather Elisha's than giving money to preacherman

Oh say it ain't so I know they edit stuff to make people how they want to appear but he doesn't come across very well at all and puts me right off ever wanting to taste his food, in fact it makes me want to eat the most fat ladened deep fried food i can find. I don't go out to eat in restaurants to be healed and purified, i go out to have a treat and maybe if i'm lucky a row with the missus, besides how good can a meal be for you when i've done 3 martinis by the time the amuse bouche comes

god i hope that ballbag doesn't win tonight If i see his face again go "is that the future of british cooking" then pull downturned mouth "i dunno" i'm going to throw my turkey twizzler at the telly patronising mongtard

Great photos Rogelio *wipes dribble from keyboard*

How the f*ck did Radiohead - The bends get above The Stone Roses - The Stone Roses? Are where were the Beatles in the top 10? Too much prog rock for my liking in this list

It's a toughie this debate, much like like Fox hunting, where i dislike both sides. I don't like the idea of foie gras but my wife loves to eat it. I managed to register my protest against her eating it by throwing a brick through our front window. That'll bloody show her.

We'll be back here doing this all over again

Orrery drop a bit of a shock

Arrrrgh god that veg bloke is just so annoying. Torode may shout a lot but atleast he knows what he's talking about. Wallace is just like a bloody shouting baked potato http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BC259y0E1e8 and his stock answers for anything good are always: ggggrrrrrrr I wanna kiss you coorrrrrr Wow very insightful well done mate, really managed to convey that well.

I cancelled my reservation the other friday and booked a local restaurant. The local restaurant had a power cut and phoned me 5 minutes before we got there to say they'd have to cancel our reservation. I think this might of been the Restaurant Gods trying to smite me *shakes fist sky*

I really want to add something relevant and insightful to this ramsay debate that has been going on for a while but all i really want to add is that i just think the bloke is a twat, a hamy twat, a corny hamy twat. I have no constructive criticism, though i don't think the bloke is particularly innovative or imaginative, i just think he's a twat, and all the i'm not a celebrity chef b*llocks that he comes out with is tiresome. Where's the smiley for that sums up pointing at a picture and saying "you sir are an arsepipe"? No wonder my English Literature critical assesment exam went so poorly.

we're proud of your valour *taps chest with fist and nods in respect*

Won't some brave soldier go in there and take one for the team? Or is this some version of the Asch conformity tests? I read the Doug Psaltis book and am surprised the standards are supposed to be so bad or is it me just feeling guilty about cancelling on them who cares, think i'll bail next week
