Protein Shakes Don't Get a Michelin Star

Poncey Food
Poncey Food
The Times reports that Michelin starred chef, Ryan Simpson, has stormed out of his kitchen, at The Goose in Britwell, after being told that his food was "too poncey".
Simpson, his kitchen and waiting staff quit after the owner said that his menu was unsuitable for local diners. The restaurant has closed.
Why employ a Michelin quality chef in the first place then?
Engineering a walk out is a neat way to avoid paying redundancy though.

Ramsay Rated by Michelin
Ramsay Rated by Michelin
Gordon Ramsay has become one of the two most Michelin starred chefs in the world, after his New York restaurant (Gordon Ramsay at the London) was awarded two stars in its first year.
This is a welcome change of fortune for the restaurant, which received poor reviews when it opened earlier this year. There have also been reports of arguments between the restaurant's staff over tips, and neighbours of restaurant complained about noise and other irritations.
The 2008 Michelin guide awarded the London two stars, signifying "excellent cuisine, worth a detour", it praised its consistency in food and service and singled out its seven-course Menu Prestige.
Ramsay now has 11 Michelin stars.

Gordon Ramsay Gets a Slap
Gordon Ramsay Gets a Slap
Gordon Ramsay normally tells other restaurant owners off for the state of their kitchens.
Now it seems that he has been a given a taste of his own medicine.
Information released under the Freedom of Information Act showed that food inspectors found minor hygiene problems at two of Ramsay's London restaurants.
At one of the three Michelin starred Gordon Ramsay restaurants, a food inspector found the freezer needed to be cleaned "thoroughly."
At another restaurant, based in Claridge's, inspectors noted a washing sink was too close to where food was prepared; also chefs were seen wiping their hands on dirty cloths. The ladies' restrooms also were reported to be missing soap.
Ramsay has now addressed these issues.

Torquay Loses Fawlty Towers Image
Torquay Loses Fawlty Towers Image
Torquay has finally shaken off its Fawlty Towers image of poor service and dreadful food, after the Michelin Guide has awarded stars to two of its restaurants.
The Elephant and Orestone Manor have both received Michelin stars.
The Elephant's head chef, Simon Hulstone, said:
"When I heard I was extremely excited and now I'm full of anticipation for the year ahead."

How Much?
How Much?
We have all felt, at one time or another, that we have paid too much for a pint and that the breweries were "having a laugh" at the drinker's expense.
However, the prices that we pay in pubs for even the most "designer and trendy" of beers pale into insignificance when compared to the beer that costs you £32 per pint.
Yes, you did read that correctly, £32 a pint!
Deus, brewed in the Belgian village of Buggenhout, will set you back £32 a bottle in certai restaurants.
Aubergine, a Michelin starred restaurant in Chelsea London, has a beer list which includes pint bottles of Deus for £32.
The Bosteels brewery that brews Deus, which comes in at 11.5%, claims that they treat it like champagne.
Whilst they may treat it like champagne there is no way that it tastes like champagne, nor is there any justification for charging a champagne mark up.
The fact that restaurants are able to get away with charging ridiculous prices like this show that, regrettably, some customers have more money than sense.

Pierre White Lambasts British Food
Marco Pierre White, the first British chef to receive three Michelin stars, has lambasted British cooking and the diners who tolerate it.
White, in an article for Waitrose Food Illustrated, said that Britain could not claim to have "the world's best restaurants"; he claims that British food is "depressing" and "totally unacceptable".
Whilst this to me seems a rather large generalisation, he possibly makes a valid point; in noting that young chefs "all just want to be celebrities", and that restaurant owners are "greedy".
