Streuth-Another Good Food Guide!
zzzzzzz….Yes I know, but you’ll still read it!
Sorry folks, it’s another food guide to tell you about, not that you care but in the interests of fair exposure (guides I mean) I feel I should mention them all, correction, the ones I can be bothered with.
The latest must have food guide to be released is the Zagat London Restaurants Guide 2008 edited by Tim and Nina Zagat, a compilation of views and recommendations by the Great British public (about five thousand of them to be precise) The Zagat guide has been noted for its controversial remarks in the past (around the time of the latest publication ironically enough) and this years headline grabber is;
London is the most expensive city in the world to dine out in.
So, if you fancy a steak you’d best jet off to New York, Tokyo or Paris because it’s cheaper. What doesn’t seem to be mentioned is how they arrive at this conclusion. Is it a mean average of menus from restaurants across the whole spectrum of London dining or just those at the high end? I would have thought that the above mentioned cities would be pretty much neck and neck in this regard. I once spent £450 on a meal for two in Paris one night and £40 the next, I could quite easily do the same in London, Oxford, Bray and Cumbria. So what?
Anyway, what you all really want to know is how did Gordon do! Well, he won top spot for service. Yes, those ******* he and his head chefs scream at every night have spared him some blushes as Chez Bruce once again beats him for best food. Last year Chez Bruce was ninth in the Zagat list for best restaurant so it just goes to show that all those nights Bruce Poole has spent working hard in his quiet, unassuming way in the kitchen really does pay off.
Another bad week for Gordon, now his wife has exposed him (literally) as a fake. Following the scam that was his supposed fishing trip with the master catching fish in front of the cameras (not) his recent claim that he burnt his proverbial meat and two veg on a stove is nothing more than a load of old b******s, a, quote; ‘publicity stunt’. Will the stove join Marco Pierre White in taking legal action against him for false accusations in the interests of self-publicity?
