  1. maybe the chefs at the capital were busy doing their jobs and making sure she didn"t fuck up ,or maybe they didn"t have time to all seat around a table to have a nice cup of tea ,a few biscuits, and speak about paranoia and all the problems that comes with it
  2. aren"t we missing the point here?a burger is all about the perfect beef,bap,tomatoand sauces,why trying to bastardise it? too many black truffles can be overpowering and in the "burger"i bet they are the only thing you can taste .i think this is such nonsense that even if that was a joke ,i wouldn"t think its funny,this is material for "foodies" who haven t got a clue what they are speaking about.
  3. hi moby(anything to do with? ), i live in london ,but spend a lot of time travelling around england to eat out.i specially like the cotswolds , i have been as far as gidleigh park in the past but as that was a real waste of money,i save myself time and trouble and usually stick around the midlands. if you are thinking of visiting cheltenham ,i recommend you stay at the greenway .
  4. I went for lunch at the Campignon Sauvage yesterday and was once again very impressed with their lunch deal. I went for the crab risotto with sweetcorn veloute(frothed up as a cappuccino), the pork with black pudding, soured cabbage and sage jus and the sublime marjolaine with tonca bean ice cream. I was amazed by how well the sweet corn went with the crab even though "amaze " is probably not the word to use, as David Everitt Matthias always surprises you with unusual combinations. I was told that the black pudding with my pork had just been made the day before and it was to die for!! It was actually the best I have had anywhere, and believe me, I have tried it in many restaurants. To finish "tonca bean" ice cream, has anybody heard of such a thing before? The taste was truely amazing and went very well with the praline and nutty meringue layered chocolate desert. I of course finished with petit four (rhum baba, choc brownie, coconut congolais, nougat, almond ball, frangipane, choc truffle, marzipan and white choc, fruit paste and fudge). I loved every aspect of this eating experience and can't wait to go back.

    wd-50

    i went to new york a couple of weeks ago on a vacation and tryed quiet a thew restaurant and i would really like to know what the fuss wd 50 is about? i thaught th service was average ,the food was ok but i dont rate it that much. the only "working" dish was the scallops ,th foie gras with anchovies just didnt do it,all i could get was the tate of vinegary anchovy, then eventually the foie gras ,it was impossible to get any bread to go with it. i could go on about th main courses but my bad experience wont do any good. if you want my advice and enjoy real flavours and no trendy powders ,pretty but small portion, glamercy tavern ,and pearl are the real leaders .
  9. my son did a stage there a thew month ago an he really liked it,the only thing he was concerned about ,was the chef"s attitude.in his kitchen you will be expected to communicate only in spanish ,have no facial hair of any kind ,no tatoo,and nearly no break!!they gave my son such a hard time because of his little goatie!now,i dont know anything about work in a kitchen ,but this is ridiculous!
