Wanker (Celebrity) Chef...

next time eat your dinner and then proceed to projectile vomit all over the place and ask for an ambulance to be called. That will sort him

Was he wrong?

I pushed the boat out over the weekend and Me and Mrs me went to a nice pricey restaurant. During the meal which overall was acceptable, Mr Wonderful appeared and did his rounds with most of the punters licking his arse.

He came to my table and asked how was the meal. Lovely says I but the sauce on the lamb was way too salty and watery. What did he say ? '' Obviously this is your first time in a fine dining restaurant'' **** !
He could not take any negative feedback at all. Gob****e...

Marco Pierre White?

Name of the restaurant?
Name of the chef?

Don't get me wrong I'm more of a take away pizza man than fine dining and I wouldn't waste the money only to be hungry leaving those fancy places but if for whatever reason I found myself in such a place, I think it would be unfair and just alittle bit smart arsed to tell the chef his sauce was watery or whatever if I had no previous experience of such dining.

it would be the only time id be secretly ashamed of my kids would be if one of them had ever wanted to be a chef.
imo the most over rated meaningless job there is.
only to be done by the desperate when they cant do anything else.

stay out of 'fine dining' establishments op, over priced nonsense. youd probably get better value in a maccyd

Well maybe he is right because he has spent a life time perfecting classic dishes, working under top chefs most likely all over the world.
I think it's understandable then that they might get annoyed if a customer says something like the op.
A comment such as - it wasn't for me or some such might be reasonable but the op said your sauce is too watery and too salty.
Take any other trade and if a newbie comes in and bluntly tells the leading man in his field that he has been doing it wrong all these years, you can expect a swift response along the lines of - who the f*ck are you.

Any other trade would give the customer what they want,not call them a pleb.

The thing about these celebrity chef's is , once they get on the telly they think they build a reputation which in their eyes is beyond criticism .
Personally i enjoy a good restaurant but i can equally enjoy an ordinary burger and chips if its what i fancy and if it's done well . Off the top of my head I've been to 3 '' celebrity'' restaurants and all 3 have been very disappointing . One in Ballsbridge , cant think of the guy who owns it , average food and poor service . Rick stijn's in Sandbanks near Poole , again very average. On tv he seems to be a supporter of local fishermen so i was surprised when i ordered bass that farmed fish was served , being surrounded by dogs and piss poor service didn't help .
Thirdly and worst of all was the Dunbrody in Ballyhack [ kevin dundon ] . Myself and the better half out for a drive one Sunday and both fancied fish and chips so dropped in here , pure ****e , if it was handed to you in a chipper you'd hand it back , so we both complained , the shock on the girls face that ''ordinary '' folks like us had the cheek to complain that the food was bad .
As a chef once told me if you can get basic ''fish and chips '' right you have a problem

You should practice coughing and saying "ar5ehole" at the same time.

Such bollocks this celebrity culture.

People would have laughed their heads off at the notion of a "celebrity" chef at one time. Why not celebrity plumber, celebrity bus driver or celebrity binman?
