The Top Top Restaurant Thread

Smallman1

The only things required for the JC table are top top bants, a whopping great kitchen sink and the tops to come off as soon as Mongoose gets dropped, that’s it!

Smallman1 for the JC table are top top bants

Not that straightforward.

For example, no-one can deny Amps is a top tabler, but does he have “top top bants?” I’m sure he still has it in his locker somewhere, but nowadays I’d probably say he just has “top bants” or maybe even just “bants”.

Fortunately for him, there aren’t really any obvious promotion candidates this year.

Mongoose is a good metaphor for English cuisine. Rote and forgettable at its best. Not one person goes to London thinking, “I’m going for the food”. Not one person. That has never happened. The only kitchen sink about most British food is what needs to be thrown in it. And I love my pork pies.

I don’t recall Amps posting anything that wasn’t regurgitated from twitter, let alone something which could be called “bants”.

Cheating slightly as this is a cloud kitchen, but the food here is blowing my mind: https://www.dumdurrust.com/

You have to preorder 24 hours in advance so everything is made to perfection and with a whole lotta love.

rhouses those Biryanis look amazing. Is it pricey, Rhouses?

alistair Absolute shite. Give me your top 5 NYC restaurants and your top 5 London. We can take it from there, Al. Jesus wept.

rhouses

LT42 Naaah. It’s priced well, pretty standard. And what they say feeds four people, easily feeds 6.

Just had the Aywadhi mutton biryani, chicken tikkas, and Kolkata beet root chops for a glorious Sunday lunch. The meat in the biryani was fall off the bone. Saving the Mutton Haleem, which is insanely good, for dinner.

Already looking forward to Hugo’s best man speech.

mono-stereo “Testing, testing. Hey Xavier, can you turn up the speakers at the back, I can hear the ruddy A50. Who books a hotel in a place like this?”

LT42

rhouses sounds immense. I’m just about to have a fresh potato borek out of the oven with a side of balsamic eggs. Cheers.

rhouses

LT42 yum, doesn’t sound too shabby either, LT. Enjoy.

I worked just across the street from there about 10 years ago so also had lunch in there a couple of times. It was quality indeed.

I went to the previous iteration but hear nothing but great things.

The confit potatoes always get talked about.

Great part of town too, not far from Turnmillls.

mono-stereo

Smallman1 yeah we had a side of the confit potatoes, really good.

bosstrabs

Smallman1 The confit potatoes always get talked about.

Absolutely standard from Smallman, going to a decent restaurant and then ordering / talking about the most basic dish or side on the menu.

Didn’t he go to some great Italian and basically order Spag Bol and garlic bread?

What a fucking idiot.
