Whatever one thinks of him, he has at least raised awareness, along with HFW, of where our food comes from and for that I have to take my hat off to the man.
Never been to any of his restaurants though.
Only slebby one I ever went to (and this was really before the days of celebrity chefs) was The Malsters Arms up some creek near Totnes when it was run by Keith Floyd.
I seem to remember he had some kind of dosshouse where you could kip if you were too plastered to make it back home again.
I'm sure DA or someone will be along soon to comment on his champagne socialism, narcissistic faux-compassion, etc, but from hearing him do lots of interviews he seems like a nice chap.
I've been to his 15 in London 2 or 3 times - I think the original one(?) and been impressed. Though I've heard less good things about the Italian chain.
