The Restaurant 2009

Exactly. It's not like it was the first series & they didn't know what would be expected of them, they would have had plenty of time to decide their concept.
 
THE POINT (that will of course be totally missed and ignored by the judges) is that they did not supply what they were meant to be supplying!
 
If last years format had been in place the mother and son partnership would still be there because they were among the few whose dish he praised.

I believe the Gravalax couple and the Winker would have to do the challenge with the Winker being eliminated.
 
and hopefully the last of the whole show.

what a joke, you just have to laugh, can't take this stuff mildly seriously

best was sarah's reactions throughout the series and put downs of the winkers, and then in the conclusion she's as sure as she's ever been, that for her it must be them!?

i thought x factor had become a joke, but it has nothing on this 'reality tv'

raymond blanc, just embarrassing. can't believe it's the same guy who did the first 2 series

RAB really neeRAB a kind of rofl smiley, because this is pure comedy
 
Well, that's just where you are very, very wrong. if you read the posts on this forum, Points of View, etc you will see that there are a number of people who will now boycott RB's places.

I certainly go out a lot! And not just to pubs. I have been fortunate enough to eat in some of the best restaurants in the UK. We have been to Le Manoir in the past, and had intended to spend a week there next year for a special birthday. Three sets of frienRAB were coming for 2 nights as well. We are now going to Gidleigh Park instead. We are certainly not alone in being disgusted that we are paying a portion of our licence fee to RB, only for him to condone arrogant blaggers. RB will now be aware that there are a lot of people who think exactly the same.

So kindly don't stereotype RAB forum members.
 
Well no it isn't! saying this as a life long model maker, out of anything at hand... Its about skill and creativity!... Erm! make a plane flying out of a cloud... I'd say making a cloud shaped cake would be darned easy! The plane would be how good you are at rolling, cutting and folding icing sugar and making an underling support structure of fruitcake! (You wouldn't want a cake that was all iceing would you?)

:eek: I'm neglecting my true calling... I can see how it can be done, should go off and make em! :o
 
yes "over time" but then equally "over time" arguably any of them would be adequate with Raymond's training!

But like I said, they were a decent couple and yes they were hard working (well, when Rebecca wasn't in moany whingey mood and Stephen wasn't on the verge of tears) but at that point of things they didn't have it. (And deepfried battered steak and kidney pudding with double-cream laced puddings and buttery starters would take its toll on the arteries...). But solid comfort food for sure. Sadly, the others didnt quite have it to a great extent either so I guess all 3 were much of muchness!!
 
The airplane cake wasn't thatbad.

His big mistake was individually wrapping each component with icing and then attempting to stick it all together. :eek:

Personally I would have stuck all the cake components together in then iced it as a whole unit - either using sheet icing or pipeable fondant style icing :D
 
The 'Cheltenham Ladies' girls remind me of the twins, Laura and Jess in the first series. Even their concept is similar, the twins were also found to be using cheap frozen veg and kept a grubby kitchen. Didn't stop them making the final though.
