Who's watching?


Did you see last nights episode at where they were at Heston Blumenthal's restaurant The Fat Duck?

I thought I'd see how much a meal is there, thinking it would be a good present for my son, he enjoys cooking, and has been to sample the menus at Jamie Olivers, Gary Rhodes, Gordon Ramsey's and a few others.

You need to allow 3 and a half hours for the menu, and the cost is.....

£195 PER PERSON :-0

I must say the food that the chefs did last night were amazing, but I'm not sure they'd fill you up.

By the way, who do you think will win tonight? I'm hoping it's Oli, because I think he has so much more to give, but Anton or Keri, would be worthy winners too.

I thought the show last night was fantastic.

All three are brilliant

Its on now :-D :-D

Yes i am watching it, And yes last nights was very good.

Its close tho isnt it? :-D :-D

Poor Oli, putting his pudding dish in the fridge instead of the blaster, what a shame, although I didn't think his other dishes was as good as Anton or Keris' .

Before the winner was chosen I said to hubby I thought they would both win, thought them hard to separate. They must be thrilled, both were so passionate. I wouldn't be surprised if Oli joined Michel Roux at his restaurant, hope so, then they would all be winners :-D

Watched from the start,,,,,,,3 brillitant chefs,

Ollli is still very young and theres still masses he can learn making him one of the great chefs.

The only thing at the Fat Duck I would have is the Whiskey Wine Gums..... :-D :-D.

Thought it was the best MastercChef yet. All three contestants were worthy winners.

Right decision in end.

Carol :-D

Really enjoyed it and thought all three chefs were brillaint. Was delighted with the decision :-D :-D :-D
