Many people in the golden triangle (the roads around Fiveways, BN1) say that the chef in the (unnamed Fiveways cafe) is a bit of a 'difficult character.' Great grub though.

Can't instantly think of one I like.
Well, apart from Nigella obviously!

One of my ex bosses sacked him when he was a chef at Lords said he was absolutely useless at making a profit. He was appaenly good using prime cuts of meat but had no idea on using cheaper cuts so that the whole piece of meat brought about a profit.
I likd the old Cant Cook Wont cook, wish they would bring it back.

This.
Can't stand Nigella either, who is just so transparently hamming it up that it's revolting. The food she champions isn't up to much either and is ... how shall this be put? ... fattening.
Ha Ha! Have to agree. Got his silly programme on in the background right now, how can someone be so enthusiastic about fxxk all? 'Ooh, I am so excited by this Ghanain classic version of an historic desert recipe', sign of a great salesman/presenter I guess.

She just takes things out of packets and eats them, nice rack though!
His mid-week recipes are good though.

All cookery programmes have one basic flaw, you can't taste the food. It's like watching a music programme with the sound turned off
The only problem with this premise is the fact that Slates isn't a chef.
He's a food writer, and IMO a fookin good one.
His recipe books are spot on and are far superior to the Gordon & Jamie's of this world.

The glare he produced when we were on the practice putting green in Spain a few years back whereupon my colleague ejaculated 'Can't Putt, Won't Putt'.

Jamie Oliver annoys me with his constant 'good old this, good old that (insert any food, it's all good old)... Also, he's obsessed with sprinkling / dropping things from a height & serving things on giant boards etc.
That said his food is generally good to look at, tasty to eat & easy to cook (for a novice like me anyway!) his fantastic fish pie from one of his early books is a firm favourite of mine (and family!)

Indeed. Look carefully (without being distracted by her breasts!) And you'll see she can't even use a knife!
