Reminds me, a couple of years ago I went to a Chinese restaurant near the castle and the waitress brought the wrong order. When I complained she started crying - pretty awkward situation, I got the impression she was an abused immigrant. I ended up just paying for it.

 

Probably thought you were Ramsay lining up some more kitchen nightmares tbf. Had visions of having to watch you stripped to the waist getting into your chef clobber and calling her gaffer "big boy". It'd bring tears to anyone's eyes.

 

:(

 

Where the fuck did this Ramsay stuff come from again as well? :(

Mr Assilleekunt has been living up to his name regarding me lately. Who were you again previously Mr Kunt?

 

No one off here, used to post on N-O. The level of discourse there is frightful, I stumbled upon this place which contains intellectual behemoths like Kevin and thought I'd join.

Did you smash the dish across her face and berate her in fluent Cantonese because the egg fried rice wasn't room temperature? Or was she just a drama queen?

If you're looking for something a little more high class I can reccomend Shearer's Bar

 

 

"I'd check out the Maison Bleu"

"The place is trendily shabby"

"The venison (ask for it rare) was out of this world when I last went."

 

How's that stained glass window doing Renton? Have you tried Bonjour Allotet? I hear the shrimp's feet are extrordinarily delightful, even if the presentation has somewhat of an isouciant air about it, and the clientele are somewhat obstreperous in their manner. The triple figure bills are but a pittance to me however.

 

It's good value as it happens (20 quid for 3 courses iirc), and the rare venision is ace - one of the best thing I've ever eaten - hence the descriptive flourish. What exactly is the problem with that? Because I described it as trendily shabby? Ok, shabby then. :(

Pretentious?

Moi?

How you can even ask that, man you're the fucking spitting double of him. Michelin Stars in their Eyes stuff.

Had a job interview at M&S today and nailed it, I start next wednesday!

 

:(

Nice one mate.

This is not just a job, this is an M&S job.

:( Shame Brock never lived up here. He could have had the privilege of working with the one and only Magma.

Thanks for all the recommendations.

 

We had dinner in the Dome. Lush burger, not great chips, lovely place.

 

We were staying near Dalkeith and couldn't be harrassed going back into the city to try any others. We we had our tea at the Sun Inn. 2010 Gastropub of the year....

It was absolutley heaving in there....but it was excellent. Well worth putting up with the crowds.
