Anybody Watch Michel Roux's Alternative Restaurants?

[DTCwordfan]

Quite inspirational and good to see him breaking out beyond the norms of a Michelin Restaurant and sample street food, albeit upmarket ones underpinned by exceptional ingredients. Any recommendations of such establishments near you for other ABers?

I tended to go off him when he failed to pass on his restaurant tips to his staff

"oh look at me, i'm using a flowerpot, and no plates arent i innovative and wonderful"
err no, cafes/restuarants have been doing it for years. Youcan barely get a pub or even garden centre meal without it coming on a slate/chopping board/in a galvanised bucket

^ Don't forget the newspaper lined cone with the chips in it

Noma in Copenhagen were the first to do that and his attempt did look primitive in comparison....

That looks horrible

but tastes brilliant, the soil made from lentils.....

I'll take your word for it. It wouldn't do anything for me

The expression "King's New Clothes" comes to mid when watching these chefs.
