AIBU to think he's bloody sexy? He's lovely looking and seems to be so nice personality wise too. He can cook! He's certainly making my Sunday afternoon nicer.

He is welcome to cook for me, but sexy he is not.

I used to like him but he’s involved in everything now and strikes me as ego over substance - seems to be a trait with chefs of a certain type

Really? You're entirely unaware of his TV work and his recipe books? Literally the only thing you know about him is the prices he charges for his food?

I must block everything else out because I find his willingness to squeeze as much cash as possible out of people quite distasteful.

The only time I hear about Tom Kerridge is when he charges extortionate prices for normal things. He's a complete chancer, so YABU

He has a shellfish allergy so he's not for me. I like a man who'll feed me oyster and lobster.

I wouldn't turn down any of them! They could each make a course then feed it to me.

Omg yes, and they'd find my lack of food and wine knowledge adorable - and each declare me their muse ☺️😏

Well they are right up my street so I am off to google some images.

He doesn't do anything for me.
One of his eateries is fairly local and the vegetarian options were minimal, so I didn't go.

He comes across as warm and passionate on his tv programs unlike Gordon Ramsey and Jamie Oliver.

I ate at his fish and chips restaurant in Harrods. Nice but not worth the price tag.

Yanbu! 🤭🤭

He's on Sunday brunch next week

After james martin, he's the next sexiest chef 😄 - I'd maybe chuck Gordon Ramsey and Paul hollywood into the mix too

Any need for that? I mean, I don't agree with the OP, but to rush to the responses to post that, just seems totally unnecessary.

He's lost a lot of weight. However, I hate his attitude towards his customers. Baked potato £20 small posh potato filled with everyday ingredients but a cheffy ham on top. He could have used local ingredients, it would have been cheaper. We worked out one of the ciders he suggests matching his dessert to had over a 100% mark up.
