Raymond Blanc THE RESTAURANT new series

[RTKangaMummy]

We went to one of them and it was really deffo brill

I am not allowed to say which one though or say what happened

BBC2

Wednesday

squeaver, thats rather a large leap to think james is like halliwell and is going to murder alistair (aka orton)

Russel is quite fanciable isnt he?

am I the only one who thinks lovely Russell may be in the closet?

I know what you mean pagwatch - he's a bit toooo nice to be straight isn't he.

I can't believe I'm going to say it but I also think James and Ali may win it - maybe Raymond feels a bit let down by marrieds after working with Jeremy & weepy Jane last year. Plus James and Ali seem to be improving and developing each week which the judges like.

James and Alistair are called Tatboy and Gimp on Digital Spy.

ROFL at Gimp

Pagwatch, have been lurking on this thread since the beginning, but had to reply to your post !!!!! I [heart] Russell, and when stroppy-chops Michelle is finished with him she should send him my way (don't tell DP !)

Can't stand Sarah (judge woman).

Kanga - can you reveal all when the comp is over?

Tatboy and Gimp - great ! I really want them to win now - am sure they will !
The vegans were a joyless bunch and no mistake,felt a bit sorry for the ferrety one and staring man.

I love vegetarian food but agree that most of the vegans I meet put me off the whole idea. my favourite restaurant is Terre a Terre in Brighton, a veggie one, and they do lots of vegan stuff but it's definitely not joyless

The clangers really don't have a clue - how can Mr Clanger be running out of food constantly? I know you have to keep margins down but that is ridiculous!

Thought the slagging LoveDoves got for offering out the crostinis to the (as i kept saying last night) celeriacs was out of proportion. Yes, menu should highlight what's OK, yes Michelle should know having one as a regular BUT at least she checked everything and double-checked - the crostinis was a breakdown in communication. And as they commented VERY obvious to them that they couldn't eat it - it wasn't hidden at all.

Closetboys had much less of a grilling when they mucked up with the biscuit for the 7 yr old. RB heart Closetboys Suspect they will win.

LOL Flatmouse - Love the names you have given them! From now on I will refer to them as:

The Clangers
LoveDoves
ClosetBoys

Just watched last night's episode - the LoveDove give me the boak -did you clock them staring into each other's eyes as they all waited to be called back in to Raymond? And she is just such a princess.

Agree with bundle - if you were a party of 5 veggies and 5 vegans, you'd tell the restaurant when you booked, wouldn't you

Want the ClosetBoys to win, as I am frightened that Ali might have a hert attack if they don't - though I suppose he might well have a heart attack if they do - hmmm, not sure what's for the best

That would be heart attack, and here's the question mark missing from the third line ?

Ah Gloria.
Didn't mean to sully your romantic notions.

I think he will dump hissy fit when she pitters out of judging again and looses him his chance of winning. Then he will be all your...

i'd love to see the back of PoodleHead and LimpDick tonight.

ROFL at 'celeriacs' = coeliacs

ROFL too
hadn't spotted that !

I want to be a celeriac.
Is it an intolerance to poncey food?

pamina they didnt serve rice at

I also thought it was unfortunate the dopey waitress's ruined the cheerful souls v good research by michelle

I completely agree with you. I do that stockpiling thing though too. I blame my grandmother whyop always had 12 bags of flour and 6 bags of sugar 'in case there was a war'

The way closetboys were talking last night it seemed they were more intent on wanting to win than the competition than actually having the opportunity to do something they liked...

They seem to have had so many disparate jobs between them, I don't think they will last the year if RB chose them as the winners...

so who got the 'rowdy' guests?

the supper club people were wanky rather than rowdy.
