...but I must say that he's not going to hold a candle to the lovely Grace Dent.

Oh my.

Am afraid
I lost interest at the "Torteau du dorset"
as I believe they don't say down dorset way.

Pointless and clearly poncy use of french should be a criminal offence, ditto with cycling.

Chapeau to that!

I bet she could drink him under the table though after beating him at arm wrestling

What disappointed me was they wouldn’t let me play polo up there

I wouldn't mess, unless I was lucky enough to be invited to...

One of my favourite reviewers. With lockdown he was solidly behind the restaurant trade when they were struggling through the lockdown with reviews of various places that switched to delivering “ meal kits”
His reviews are always well written, the BTL comments can be informative and often hilarious, especially after a good “ skewering of the pretentious and overpriced.

The Kitchen Cabinet is also a great program, interesting, informative, funny...time well spent.

Rayner is an absolute legend. Absolutely ruthless when he needs to be, but encouraging and fair when he sees promise. I love his style.

I'd be tempted to call the maitre d over and give him a good grilling about the menu (plus various french matters) in french.

It’s always on chez tenkay ( nice bit of accidental alliteration) As you say, informative, I’ve lost count of the number of “ ooh, that’s a good idea “ moments.

D word allowed in cycling due to french early development of.
Dorchester being poncy with dorset french. I just hope they have no plans to open a chinese takeaway.
