Don't spill any of the sauce from those things on you, the stain glows for months.

ETA - That's what a fwend told me 🙄

You should('nt) try getting the sauce from a shin ramen pot in your eye. It's pretty bad.

Better than any Michelin place :lol:
I don't like to ask really, but why do you have what appears to be a turd pickled in urine in that bottle of Fentimans Cherry Cola?

Pile of sludge arrived 20 mins later which for 7 quid I couldn't let go.

Chef came to see us. Are these frozen? Yes. Ok I'll have my money back and let's speak about it no more.

If you can't do things well don't even try.

I think a lot of these places know they will get good footfall, get a fancily written menu then employ an army of chumps in the kitchen who can't cook for toffee and wind up serving overpriced garbage.

The food was shit, like the chef was a Heston wannabe doing crap like deep fried sushi, dousing food in cider vinegar and putting Camembert on pizza. Nothing more frustrating than spunking £50 a person and getting a night of constant shitting, nausea and cramps in return.
Unless you’ve only eaten one thing in basically the last month, it’s impossible to tell where you got “food poisoning” from

I hate shit food. I really hate being ripped off in restaurants serving me shit food

I hate it when places clearly don’t care

There’s too much focus on price these days. I don’t want my meal to be cheap, I want it to be good. And good for what it’s supposed to be. I want places to care. I want places to think.

Too often it’s shit, cooked to a budget, by the cheapest chefs they can find - and if you don’t pay people enough to care about their job, why should they?

I basically only eat in places with Stars these days or if I’ve been given a recommendation from someone I can trust. Most people can’t be trusted
