The Restaurant 2009

Ok, the right couples went out in my opinion...

Firstly, anyone who tries to open a tin with a rolling pin and a carving knife, should not be let loose within a country mile of a restaurant.

Secondly, how many weeks have these couples had to come up with a name and a concept for their restaurant? The tongue-tied guy couldn't answer. And his mother was no help to him whatsoever...

And don't start me on gravadlax...
 
As Anal Dave's (Ze Leetle Chef's partner and fellow judge David Moore) restaurant is just around the corner from Goodge Street, I expect he'll be visiting the new venture soon with a micrometer to ensure the the urinal disinfectant blocks are the correct size.

I give this new business 12 months tops before it goes under. I just don't see Goodge Street as the best location for
 
Point taken MrM, although my experiences in York restaurants make me agree with Bourdain, indeed I don't think I would ever eat fish here (40 miles inland) no matter how 'Scarborough/Whitby fresh' it's advertised. Bristol should be an exception though.

I'm looking forward with perverse delight to Nathan getting his comeuppance on Thursday. If the clips bear any resemblance to what actually happens then his couldn't-care-less, arrogant arse should be shown the door. Unfortunately that means Chris, and his odd obsession with rhubarb, goes as well. Apart from that nasty lasagne, is there one dish he's served that doesn't have a rhubarb sauce?
 
I'm still confused about the Badger thing ... wasn't it Barney who walked out during the farmers market task and was sitting on a bench saying he didn't know what to do?
( phone rang during this bit, hence confusion!! )

Twins deserved to win this week, but it's all going too fast and with too little going on. I miss really getting to know the restaurants and the challenge. Also they all seem to have a lot of extra chef's in their kitchens this year. I'm sure they didn't have so many in the last series and they certaintly seemed to be 'head chef' in the past. This series most of them seem to be novices in their kitchens while more capable chef's carry the weight of the service.

Is there really only two episodes left? Such a shame they've messed it up so much. Next years will probably be in a studio with all the couples doing tasks in fake restaurant sets!
 
the problem I have with JJ is that he can't do wine either!

it's the blagging I can't stand, he hasn't got a clue what he's talking about and yet they let him get away with it every week

I've never watched this show before this series and I won't be watching the next one

what a pile of crap
