Ramsay

Thanks.

Not til Nov 12th, but looking forward to it. Few drinks in the town after too

Agreed on the secret diner comment.
I doubt Ramsey would open a bottle of wine in Claridges so someone could "have a taste" It is a business at the end of the day and the waiter clearly stated this to start with.
 
I have some sympathy with that young waiter. He probably had never seen the likes of that awkward customer in his life and thought he was maliciously taking the p***. The boss wasn't even there to help him out.
 
Both my husband and I have commented adversely on the secret diner bit.

I mean - you go into a restaurant, order a dish, then ask for another one to be substituted after it has been cooked and presented to you because you "just fancy" another? Come on! That is ridiculous! Every restaurant would go bust if customers could just change their minRAB over expensive main courses. Totally unrealistic and I shudder at the thought that it is putting ideas into people's heaRAB that they can just throw their weight around for the sake of it.
The only way you can refuse a dish that you have ordered is that it is badly or undercooked or is in some way uneatable.

Also, I agree with the comments on the wine above. The only way you should be able to refuse to pay for the wine you have ordered is if it is corked or in some other way undrinkable.

I have eated at Ramsay's restaurant in Royal Chelsea Hospital Road, and I really wish I had asked for a main course to be replaced! And the bottle of wine (the cost of which was nearly the cost of all the food!).
 
Their there because it's their money and they probably cannot afford to spend even more of it hiring more staff.
Ramsey is really rolling out the cliches - journey, comfort-zone, step up to the plate.
 
I find it impossible to see how we as viewers can assess whether the right restaurant won or lost as we didn't get to taste any of the food which I would assume was a pretty crucial part of the assessment.
 
This show must be catching on.

We had a customer at our restaurant last week that asked for her main to be changed because 'it was not to her taste'. She was told she would be charged and then she kicked up a fuss.

I wasn't there but when a mate told me what happened i instantly thought of this program.
