Celebrity Restaraunts
I tried one a few weeks ago, Antony Worrall Thompson's Notting Grill in London. The food was excellant and not overly expensive - I certainly didn't feel like I was paying a premium just for name. I would go again for sure but would be interested in trying another celebrity place.
Anyone here tried one, hmm?
To be honest I was either going to post a thread called "Random Bastards From Outer Space" or this.
Clearly I've matured

Re: Celebrity Restaraunts
How are we defining "Clelebrity Restaurants"?
The restaurant is famous?
People who go there are famous?
The owner of the resaurant is famous?

Technically this definition but I suppose anywhere you might bump into a celeb would be just as good.

Re: Celebrity Restaraunts
Harrison Ford bumped into me on accident when we ate at Paco's Taco's in L.A.
He says "Sorry bout that sir, I'm a little drunk if you know what I mean."
I says "Quite alright, sir."
But I was really thinking, "With a wife that looks like that wtf are you drunk for?"

I'd heard that americans when they never say sorry bump into people, simply "excuse me", is this true?

Re: Celebrity Restaraunts
Kevin Woodford owns a restaurant here called "Blazers".
Only thing blazing about it is the speed diners leave after seeing the prices.
Suffice to say he "Withdrew from the partnership agreement" a short while ago, and has promised to setup elsewhere on the island, but not specified when.
When hell freezes over I suspect.

In this country when somebody bumps into you you both say sorry!
I know, it's weird.

Chubby's right. If someone walks into me, I say sorry and then they do.

Re: Celebrity Restaraunts
That was my point really.
The nature of excuse me in this country when walking is generally used when you want someone to get out of your way, but in America it is an apology (as it is here when you burp etc).
This slight language gap leads some english people to thinking that americans are being rude apparently.

Re: Celebrity Restaraunts
I can forgive americans for being rude (real or perceived), because they always tip well when they're in my pub.
