They will need a sauce. I reckon I can get a bit more pus out of my spot.

I've given up on it, turned it off shortly after they made their own dishes.

I wonder how many of the chefs who work there have had their lower ribs surgically removed so they can suck themselves off in their cars before they head home after a service. It's probably not called a service of course, it's probably an 'inspiration' or some jingoistic wkery, where we can all ponder the implications of animal welfare whilst chewing on 'challenging' (codeword for absolutely rank) dishes made of whatever it looks like they've scraped off the abattoir floor.

It does show how quickly we can all be cajoled into a delusion. Within minutes of walking through the door Kesae is pouring her heart and soul into making a cancerous trachea and Tommy is naming his dishes after supernatural thrillers starring Harrison Ford.

I've been moaning about sous-vide fish but I'll take 1000 of those over this weapons-grade BS.

Not to mention it's another entire episode where they're not actually making their own food.

These ones are always a slog. I’ve been sitting on my phone, doing Christmas shopping and reading stuff here.

I would take the delightful Asterix themed pancake cafe in Copenhagen over this any day.

My wk-o-meter started pinging at 'holistic cuisine'.

But, using the bits of the animal you'd normally grind up for fertilizer and charging £500 quid for it is a work of rare genius.

However I wonder how many chefs do a year or so and end up blind as pit ponies it's so dark in there.

Me too, very imaginative though the thought of being trapped in a sphere with Gregg shouting away could be more challenging than some of the food.

I also find these ones fascinating but absolutely no way I'd want to eat there. At this point there is no point taking them to La Gavroche or wherever - we know they can do that stuff really well so taking them out of their element makes sense.

All to play for tonight ...
