One of these days I'll find someone who loves me enough to take me there for the tasting menu

And the "selections of wine by the glass) to go with it...

115 pounds seems reasonable for the food, but 90 pounds per person for wine by the glass, seems a bit much...... unless that's a glass with each course.

If this counts, then I'm also including a vote for Anthony Bourdain. Man can write and it makes for a very interesting show.

Anthony Bourdain's show is one of the best things on TV, and I loved his first book, Kitchen Confidential. He's cooked a couple of times on the show, and the rest is almost all eating and drinking. I have two of his other books--one's a cookbook, I think--but I haven't really looked at them yet.

although not techincall y a chef.. I loves me some Alton Brown. other than that... the Swedish Chef... (I agree w/ bruce on that one whole heartedly)

Gareth Blackstock. Possibly the greatest chef in Europe. Maybe even the world.

Cloud · 04-05-2007, 06:41 PM

Oh yes--Anthony Bourdain! I want to read Kitchen Confidential, but am a little afraid I'll be so grossed out I won't want to eat in a restaurant again. I love it that his show has a warning label on it!

If the BBC one-off "Fear of Fanny" makes it over to the US, do make sure you watch it... Julia "Nighty Night" Davis plays Fanny, with the lovely Mark Gatiss as her long suffering husband. Strangely moving, as I'm sure you can imagine.

I love Emeril.

This is my tribute (3Mb MP3) to the man of dead air time, grunts, heavy breathing, annoying audience whoops, pointless live music and shows without content.

Just been watching Giada. My eyes keep hanging up on her cleavage.

Food? What food?
