Did he accidentally spill sauce down the other leg and have to amputate?

Either that, or he mis-wiped when it came out a few days later and had to amputate.

Seriously, how are you going to manage all that?

I admire the ambition, mind.

Trooper · **Joined:** 4th Mar, 2010 **Posts:** 22266

Lunch at 2, dinner at 9, lots of wandering round london inbetween...

I imagine that Trooper is currently sleeping off his burger in a ditch somewhere.

I am cooking Craster's pulled pork. It has been in the slow cooker since 10:30 this morning. It better be good!

Cras · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 49232

In which case I'm off to Pied a Terre to steal his reservation.

Trooper · **Joined:** 4th Mar, 2010 **Posts:** 22266

Burger, fingers, fries, done. Just as good sober.

Been around the tate modern, which was enjoyably shit, been around Harrods, which was annoying shit with small bits of tacky awesome.

Now chilling in hotel before our 10 course finale

Pied-a-terre 10 course menu.

We missed a photo of the canapés as they got eaten too quickly, and also sorry for the quality of the shots, we may have been increasingly squiffy

In rows starting top left
Salmon, Mackerel, Duck Foie Gras, Pollock
Venison, Crackers, Cheese, Mango Parfait
Chocolate Pudding, Petit Fours, T, Mrs T.

Any interest in a group outing to Amp behind Bubbledogs?

£68 for a 13 course tasting menu, sat in the kitchen. Can seat up to 19 max I think.

FUCK YES.

Has a few mixed reviews, but I find food bloggers to be a poncey lot that complain too much about shit that I neither notice nor care about.
Does it taste nice? yes/no is all that is needed.

£68 though, seems vaguely bargainous for what you appear to get.

It amuses me that the last two posts I have made are:

In this thread about extortionate food, and
In the thread about horse meat, complaining that butchers are too expensive!

Sounds ace!

Alhough...

Two sittings at 6 and 7:30 - they only give you 85 mins? That's a bit rushy rushy for £68...

I think the second sitting comes in and joins the first, it isn't a cover switch, it's just about spacing things out for the chefs I expect.

Seems a lot better that way!

Well... I'd be up for it after the end of March when my pay gets sorted out

Had a conversation in the office 15 minutes ago and I thought I'd heard someone say 'Alain Ducasse'. They hadn't.

In other, subsequent news, I've just booked me and the wife in at Alain Ducasse for next month.

My mum went last month, said it was very nice indeed. This has meant that she's beating me on posh dinners for the year, however. Luckily tomorrow's The Ledbury.

I can't believe you didn't invite people with children. Prejudiced.

I just didn't invite you.

Did he go for the lunch offer as I recall? That is what I done booked.

Then, 5 minutes later, cancelled and booked under A la carte/tasting menu.

I've not told the wife and don't plan to, other than telling her to have the day off. She is extremely suspicious. And probably reading this.

Fans of Eating Food and Being In London should book themselves a table at Foxlow.

Have the ribs to start.

He's not, he's opening a new restaurant in Claridges. Which I'm glad of - his style and Claridges typical fare don't marry terribly well.

Mrs T and I are off to Le Manoir just after new year, for her birthday treat

Very much looking forward to it!

Also, I had a hot dog from 5 guys today, it was both cheaper and nicer than the burgers. I shall be going back next week.
