Tricks of the Restaurant Trade

One of the most ridiculous series I've seen in a long time. It's not based on any rational facts at all. As an example, the episode I just watched served up some very homemade sandwiches, scones and cake in a plastic-tabled cafe and asked diners if they'd pay £50 for it. What a ridiculous question. Of course they wouldn't. It was mediocre food in a greasy-spoon cafe, yet the presenter was trying to compare it to afternoon tea at the likes of the Ritz. There you get way better quality food and a superb and exclusive environment with high class waitresses and service, not a scruffy plastic table with a casual waitress and some basic food. The whole programme continues in the same way. Full of ridiculous non- facts that don't use any form of decent logic to explain a situation. Don't waste your time watching.
