Heston's Victorian Feast CH4 now

because they can afford it.
personally £80-100 for two inc. drinks is pushing it for me in a restaurant with my current earnings. when i have the money i will be trying out as many michelin starred restaurants as i can.
i love food. i am a good cook, but a michelin starred chef with a full team of staff is quite a bit better.
its like with cars. why have a ferrari when a maestro will do. because the ferrari is an experience and an occasion.

Why does anybody spend £130 a head - never mind extortionate wine price's - on one meal?
I was lucky enough to get taken there for my 30th birthday in January and all I can say is that it is amazing. You get 19 courses of taste sensations. One thing I tell people is that every time I talk about each course I can taste it as if it was still in my mouth. How many meals can you say that about? I have been to a few other Michelin star places before but there is nothing like the Fat Duck.
But yes it is (still) a lot of money.... but worth doing once...
Now I plan to recreate them all..........

I finally got round to watching this last night (Sky+'d) and I thought it was great entertainment. No I probably would not be overly keen on some of his creations but you have to admit the ingenuity, skill and determination to produce the best he can is fantastic. Heston comes across as a nice (and somewhat funny) chap as well.
Top marks say I and I am looking forward to the next program.
