Best Chain restaurant?
Discussion
For anyone who is a fan of Cote they are doing Cote at home. Ready meals essentially.
Ordered a week ago and they are delivered in paper bags by a Cote person, only in certain areas, I think you need a local branch but not sure if they are prepared locally or centrally.
Quality seems pretty good, portion size was good, not cheap though.
I have to assume this was on the cards prior to lockdown otherwise they have got the whole thing up and running very quickly.

We had an email from Côte Restaurants, we used to use Côte regularly prior to this recent unpleasantness, and my wife had her 60th at a Côte restaurant.
They do prepared meals, ready to cook or freeze for later, at what we consider to be good prices.
We ordered about £90 worth, and we have plenty left in the fridge and freezer, maybe ten days after delivery.

I am now doing food shopping with Côte - ph always finds ways to help me spend my money!
Ooh you're posh you are.No point trotting out the "but really I am just a man of the people, look at the fish fingers in my trolley" nonsense now.
You're posh.
Patty & Bun are doing similar DIY burgers.
I recently had 4 burgers delivered which came with bacon, cheese, sauce, pickled onions, smoked onions and buns for £31. Instructions included.
Not cheap but they were very good.
NB Delivery was rubbish and they didn't arrive until 10:30pm but the burgers were spot on.

The delivery guy fetches Asda crates to our front door, where we decant them into shopping bags, to carry up to the first floor kitchen.
These bags are mostly Tesco, with the occasional M & S, and Sainsbury bag.
Last week, I dredged up a Waitrose bag from the boot of my wife’s car.
The Asda guy said, “WAITROSE! How posh are you?
What else have you got, a Macy’s bag, or one from Galeries Lafayette?”

So, sitting in the click and collect spot waiting for my stuff to be brought out, observing the queue of morbidly obese 'egg on legs' specimens I noted the way the customer before me was dealt with. They were in a VW camper conversion, one of the more modern T4 vans. Any road up the Morrisons bloke rocks up with his pallet trolley with loads of stuff in the plastic crates, not bagged up, unlike Tesco and Sainsbo's. Do you want me to load it, he asks the VW crew, yes please being the answer. He opened the side door and the inside of the van initially looked like it was full of a mixture of camping kit and stuff that had been on the way to the tip when the gates were closed under lockdown. Not really anywhere much and no flat and clear surfaces to put anything, so he stacked stuff as best he could, but at times literally just lobbed stuff in to lay where it landed.
Needless to say when it came to my turn, I loaded up my own stuff. No adverse comments about Waitrose bags though. Certainly in comparison to Waitrose MILFs the Morrisons clientele was an eye opener, and not in a good way.

I bought a Louis Vuitton bag from Heathrow (no VAT) ; is that posh?
No, Louis Vuitton isn't posh.Maybe things have changed now, and other brands are in the firing line, but a couple of years back, Louis Vuitton and a Burberry check were social death, the equivalent of polyester, double knit suits in the U.S.

I wanted people to think that our Asda guy was better than that.
