Ah, so I see. 

Nope, still resolutely bored shitless.  Ronson has his moments, I'll grant you that.  This isn't one of them.

I love the man. In fact I spent a week on a writing course with him which was utterly inspiring.

His best moment though, must surely be getting a third of a book and half a TV doc out of what a bumbling and rather sweet, self deluded idiot Abu Hamza was.

I'm still trying to work out what happened there.

I enjoyed the 'review' - can someone provide a link to the most recent (middle third) section?

I couldnt figure out how to navigate to it from the first link. :blonde:

Not to be crass here, but the whole concept strikes this New Yorker as a really stupid idea. Food should engage in all aspect of the senses, visual is one of them. Then again, what do I know? I live in a city where restauranteurs think servers dressed in ninja outfits is a really good idea.

I don't ask for much, but whatever you do give me, make it of the highest quality.

Okay. So we're now meant to be preparing ourselves for the ultimate dining experience transplanted from Paris to Clerkenwell

It's OK. We don't have to worry about this any more.

I just drove past the place tonight and realised it's on the corner of Clerkenwell Green aka 'The Location of Death' aka 'The Restaurant Triangle'.

Has anything survived there longer than a year? :)

I think it's a ridicolous idea. No offence, but... no. The idea of blind dining was actually by a German guy who then exported it to the US. I read about this in the Wall Street Journal - I kept the article ... I never thought the concept would reach the UK. For those who want to read about it:

Wall Street Journal jan 5, 2006, D8 'Dining here brings a whole new meaning to the blind date'.
