5 days in and we’ve got our headline of the year – and the story’s not bad either
We’ve all been there, right? No? Spare a thought for Tracy Ann Oberman – you might know her from EastEnders or maybe Toast of London – when they went to a right posh restaurant and this happened.

This is what happens when you apply a Michelin Star or two or three. Honestly. @WeWantPlates pic.twitter.com/SR7TJHQnP7

It turned out it wasn’t quite what they thought it was. In the sense that – you know – it’s not actually meant to be eaten.
My husband tried to eat the white thing. I mean c’mon. Isn’t everyone’s napkin inflated with water then served in a wooden medieval stone????

Other people were horrified by a detail in the pictures, but it wasn’t the food.
You were playing Uno in a Michelin star restaurant?

The chef in question, Martin Berasategui, has eight Michelin stars across his restaurants, where a 14-course meal can cost up to £200, reported the London Evening Standard.
And this is what the actress had to tell him.
“Your food was exquisite, your presentation a tad pretentious but your staff were so patronising. It’s a restaurant, not a church.”
There was a post-script.
In light of my recent culinary experience if any publications would like me to review other Michelin establishments please feel free to ask 😂 💅
