Likewise.
I can remember the Triple D episode with the old couple who had done I think it was 300 locations from the series. That's the life.
Have to disagree with Minty on MvF as well. While the challenge part of the show is more about gluttony than quality, the first half is normally Richman going to well known local eateries and sampling the best an area has to offer.
It may not be high end cuisine, but it's primarily about good food and has as much of a home on a food based channel as something done by a Michelin starred chef.

Quite. Women are genetically disposed to cooking and it was inevitable that you would find your way in there and spend many a happy hour therein to provide for the man in your life.

Its pretty hard to get the quality of food in the UK shown on those two TV shows, I don't know that many cafes or greasy spoons that still scratch cook anything never mind make their own burgers and slaw and a great many "Fast Casual" eateries buy in everything (see Frankie and Bennys, TGIF, and Beefeater) and microwave the crap out of it.

I've only just seen this – and would like to point out that I don't just want to watch "something done by a Michelin starred chef", Andy.

One thing I never quite understood is why an establishment wanting to seduce punters into eating with them, would want to use a fat fookinbarsteward Michelin Man. :/
