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

<p>

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.

its Fad mate. It will eventually turn into something else that will attract consumers - its marketing 101

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.

Measure what you want changed.

    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
