I was left wondering how an operation like Hide would be seen by a chef as obviously talented as 'progression'?

What do you mean? Ollie Dabbous has a 3 story fine dining restaurant in Mayfair - one of the most expensive districts on the planet.
That may not be *my* idea of my own restaurant, but many would.

I cant begin to imagine just the basic overheads of an operation like that...
60 chefs alone must be eye watering, without rates utilities etc etc.

Website was crashed last night, but whats the likely avergabe spend per head there?

I checked earlier, I couldn’t find a menu.
TripAdvisor has them at 4/5 and most of the comments mention how expensive it is. As you say, a facility that size in that location, of course it’s pricey!

It’s open from 7am to 2am 6 days a week and till 11:30 on Sunday. Crazy hours.

I have just found a couple of ‘vouchers’ on the Michelin website for Hide. Set lunch for £48 per head and eight course tasting menu for £148.
It also appears to have one Michelin star.

Wasnt expecting that result. I thought Andrew was going to scrape through to the final.
Aweswome cooking from Stu.

I’ve not been to Hide, but the scale of it made me think about the set up.

It looks like a split operation. Downstairs is still going to be good quality food but that element isn’t the ‘Michelin Star’ part. Upstairs appears to be the formal Michelin starred element.

I’d imagine split kitchens or of that 60 chefs there are shifts rather than 60 chefs all in at the same time.

Clearly some money pumped into the whole set up. I just think downstairs is set up for bigger turnover.

I may be totally wrong though.

Anyone care to guess the cost of that staircase ?

The cost of staircases is spiralling.

The cost of staircases is spiralling.

Still, the price of the motorised ones has escalated too, so fair value.

I dunno, maybe it's been discussed on the last few pages

[Bonefish Blues]

An ex greengrocer! Didn't he go bust or do I misremember?

[Laurel Green]

There'll be plenty of Brown nosing, am sure.

Chefs table is usually a good episode.
