Quotes
"Oh wow, that is brilliant. Little sage leaf on top. Pumpkin seed. The bread is phenomenal. That is a lovely starter dish."
"Think of it as the most gourmet onion ring you've ever had in your life. And that aioli is just like a concentrated onion powder aioli. It's kind of nuts."
"The mushroom one as well. Outstanding."
"Roast potato test. Not the most crunchiest, but definitely the most flavorful out of everywhere we've been so far."
"The beef is superb. Absolutely superb. The chicken has been sous vide. The suckling pig, juicy as anything. It's like a slice of the most juiciest sausage you've ever had in your life."
"This thing, which is weirdly stuffed in the Yorkshire pudding, is incredible. Fatty, kind of almost like a glaze on it. And then it just falls apart. Very, very, very good."
"Next up, we have the spiced apple and the banana parfait. This is actually very impressive. This isn't a banana. That's been molded in the shape of a banana. I think, honestly, it looks so good that it might not be. Yeah, it is. Okay. That is cool."
