You laugh now, but when I'm at a formal occasion with a shitty DJ and they need someone to drop Dre beats...I have something up my sleeve.

Ham, any idea where I can take dezz out on a date? $700 per head minimum

Attica

Brae

Fat Duck

Vue Du Monde

Since it's a date you won't be drinking heaps so most places should fit you in for that rate.

I went Morris jones other week on chapel food was good. Probably cost slightly over your budget but we had a lot of drinks

It's not the west dude... Place I worked in South Yarra he was referring to was $40 for a main

Is Brae that good?

katie wants to give it a try

i cbf tbh

I'm over that kind of dining. Best I do is 1 hat these days..... TBH I enjoy it more as fine dining has been f**king destroyed in the last few years. Every place is the same now.

  • Obscure Plate - possibly slate or a huge cross section of a tree
  • Food in a line placed "randomly"
  • Most of the shit is virtually raw and "forraged"
  • Dots of "gel"
  • Something or other that should be a liquid, dried and powdered
  • Somehting that "challanges" you like moss or some other pointless shit
  • No sauce - The waiter pours that on in front of you for the "ooooh" factor
  • Food served at room temp
  • Edible flowers
  • Like 2

Hamish, if you are so sick of the way modern fine dinning has evolved why do you practice it?

Maybe others will also appreciate traditional looking dishes...........in fact I'm one of them.

But the selling point of fine dining is the importance of presentation and etiquette/elegance that people want to feel (sensation)

You between a rock and hard place?

I don't practice it. That's why i'm not a chef.

I got out of fine dining when Noma came onto the scene and this whole foraging craze took off, and then out of cheffing a year later.

I don't care about traditional/modern etc, it's just that the current ethos for fine dining is shit.

It's all about how something sounds on a menu and how "obscure" it is. Taste is literally an afterthought nowadays.

Aside from the whole show being staged, a huge thing that pissed me off about MKR was that every meal involved some form of reduction or was deconstructed; two most frequently used terms. Can anyone just cook some food?

No, because people on those shows are not chefs. All they know how to do is copy someone else's idea and try not to f**k it up.

I remember a time when dishes had names on a menu, not just a list of every f**kin ingredient and process involved in making the dish.

Good: new CEO's partner is a teacher; can't have much more in common with him

Bad: all departments now have KPIs including marketing which is unquantifiable tasks filled with white noise kind if work. Stupidity.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
