Fucking Heston Bloomingtwat

[cochyn]

Blumenthal's a bona-fide genuis; it's genuinely a pleasure to watch him work at times.

 

Didn't know about the Architecture thing - Channel 4 should give him a 'Grand Designs' to do.

I have eaten at one of his restaurants. It was very lovely

Fat Duck?

Fat Duck?

 

No, sadly not. "Dinner" at the Mandarin Oriental. Good, though.

Still a great eat though I bet.

 

Fancy doing a weekend in Bray, Fat Duck and the Waterside Inn two nights running. It'd hammer the wallet if you did it properly with all the wine but what a weekend.

Thought about it, but generally I only go to really nice restaurants if I can expense it. Or someone else can. You have to be a proper gastronome to justify shelling out 500 sheets on dinner. Or very rich. The weekend you're talking about could get you to New York instead!

Twice!

That's the trick. Ate at Joel Robuchon's place in Paris on someone elses tab.

 

The wife really isn't in to food the way I am so difficult to justify more than £150 on a meal for the two of us.

atelier de joel rubichon or whatever it's called is one of the most expensive places in london

As you say if you're going somewhere for fine dining the last thing you want to do is keep checking the price of what you're ordering.

 

L'Atelier - not what you call big portions either. Beautiful food though.

 

There was 7 of us, we all had the taster menu and I don't know how many bottles of wine. I wouldn't even want to try and guess the bill for that night.

 

4 of us did Le Manoir and that was over £900, we stayed at the local travel lodge though!

 

 

 

EDIT: Wrong forum.

We had a cancelation about a year back, when it was the Alice In Wonderland theme, awesome!

Was it the same as the feast he did on TV?

The drink that changed flavour as you drink it

In a way, it was the taster menu, the best part was the Bakewell tarts, a proper joy x x x

I think he's a genius. Would love to eat his food. His series of 'Perfect' meals is on the good food channel now and again. Pretty mind blowing seeing his approach to creating great food.

I am sure you can boil a pan of water mate.

People going to bed tonight on empty stomachs as they can't afford to feed themselves and this fella is takings the worlds biggest ice cream

[Bjornebye]

Good fella.

I tried to do his recipe for chilli once, took fucking ages, a right faff, making a butter that then melts into the meat. Me and wife sat down to eat it, had a mouthful each and agreed it was shite. I'm more than aware of the possibility that my shite skills fucked something up and rendered it the worst thing I've ever tasted but I was gutted after spending hours on it.

 

Now he's got a range of ready meals at Waitrose and the same chilli is one of them, I'm going to have to buy one to see if I fucked it up.

[magicrat]

I like him and find a lot of the stuff interesting. Wife on the other hand thinks it's bollocks and hype. She doesn't watch him, I do. Why start a thread to slag him off ?

Don't watch his programmes.

I've seen that chilli one. Quite interesting, but absurdly protracted and complicated for a bowl of fucking chilli. But I suppose that's the whole point of that programme.

His cooking is ace, but I don't really warm to him. Most chefs are anti-social bellends anyway, so he is in good company.
