Going on friday for dinner, really excited, haven't been out in ages!! Was wondering what hotel recommendations are out there?

Going back off topic again, sorry, which chef (french?) used chips in cold oil, and brought it up to high temperature?

So have any Egulleters been "lucky" enough to get to try the food?

Great review Matty!! Nice One fella...

Anyone been recently?

Anyone got a spare copy or know of where I could get hold of one?

Here here......

Thats the one Dipardoo! Thanks for that, have you ever been?

Another question.... I'm sure fairly recently that I saw a double page spread on a restuarant in the midlands that only has one table and one chef, he does a set menu for the whole table. This was featured in either Restuarant Magazine of The Caterer. Anyone remember this? Or has anyone been? What was it like? Link?

Does anyone know who Tescos equivalent to John Wood is(if one at all)? Just read that there 2004 profit was £1.7 Billion!! Where did you find Sainsburys profit Andy?

Does any one know what Michelin Starred chef John Wood does for J Sainsburys? Thats if he's still there? I mean from going from "The Best Hotel In The Wold" to your local supersupermarket...? I hear he was a very good chef before his time abroad.... is he still using himself to his ("our") full potential in this million £ deal?! Prior thanks from an interested Egullter.

Where is the final taking place?

Some interesting pics there, Anyone no who the chef is/was?

Hope your little one doesn't make too much noise!!

Well its an End of an Era! Did anyone manage to get into to Merchant House on its last service, Feb 28th? What was the atmosphere like? i expect it was like every other one...... Just really glad I made it there, a one off for sure. Paul

Who mentioned Margate in the orginal post? Someone has got a sense of humour! Like it.

Have any Egulleters been to Le Gavroche des Tropiques yet? What have the reviews been like? How much input do the Roux family have?

Welocome to Egullet Ukfoodie! Whats your catering background, if any?

Origami, ever heard of kakonda? sp.>?? A fijian dish, meant to be great... Any egulleters got some further info?

I see, so how old are you if you don't mind me asking?! Where would you think of opening a resturant?

Ori, Have you had any proffessional training? Worked in kitchens before? Not sure if you've answered these Q's before so sorry if you have. Cheers Paul
