Reading this article in the New York Times about the unbelievably haughty nature of some restaurants (and in some cases their celebrity chef owners) prompted me to post. It's a great read, but really what I'm interested in is - are the UK's restaurants and celeb chefs like this too.... and are we helping to boost these inflated egos by dancing to their every tune?? Please let me know by posting some comments, no answers on a stamp addressed postcard please!
The second far easier question is this - a colleague recently went to Botin in Madrid, which claims to be the oldest operating restaurant in the world - it opened in 1765. Is it really the oldest restaurant in the world ?? and what date did the oldest operating restaurant in the UK open?? Anyone knows then post back some answers.
