Before I click on this, hopefully he's not the latest BBC talent being named in something nefarious?
Pretending to be a gardener while we pay for the two gardeners who actually look after the house he moved to when his theatrical jewellery business collapsed (which is a hardy perennial story of his, appearing without fail every spring), and his nepotistic mates at the beeeeeeb gave him a job he did not deserve or have the ability to do. Stealing other people's wives on the way. Banging on about climate change and then telling us he flies to warmer climes all the effing time. Rich, entitled twit who loves to dress up in faux Italian peasant attire while fawning to wealth.

I've got similar feelings about Al Murray and Johnny Vaughan

Oh god, the Al Murray thing, rich bloke taking the piss out of the working class, annoys me hugely. My wife loves 'we have ways...' podcast, and to be fair I enjoy it if finding both presenters annoying, and so when she saw Al Murray pub landlord is coming over, she got us tickets, as a treat.....

[love] This ^^
I bet he's just Alastair Murray in the podcast, which I no problem with.
It's my issue with the inverse snobbery punching down humour... --Although I used to love Loadsamoney as a kid, so work that one out!

So many charlatans about. Pick a chef, why don’t you. How many Feckin books can you have that only include 5 ingredients- it’ll be 4 next month.
I know of a famous tv chef ( and I really do know ) don’t worry Clive, that literally cooked the books by invoicing x4 for the restaurant he was fronting when buying in the food.
TV is for w ankers unless it’s Father Ted or something else that is really good and doesn’t make thick people thicker.

That's a pretty good rant. Pithy, targeted and succinct. 8/10

Cards on the table, I am a big Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall fan
Recently, Mrs R from Afar and I were on holiday in Dorset, very close to River Cottage HQ. I decided we should pop along for coffee and cake, but when we headed off, I was full of trepidation.
The reviews were mixed and I feared an illusion-shattering experience, but luckily, it was a very positive moment.
The coffee was the best I've had in the UK, the wholemeal scones had been warmed and were utterly delicious, as was the pear frangipane tart. Everything was well laid out and well signposted and the staff were polite and efficient. There were great views too, the place is located on top of a ridge, with the distant sea to one side and the Devon hills to the other.
Price wise, it was on a par with cafes in nearby Lyme Regis.
So there you go
I didn't see Hugh, but, hey.
"Things had started becoming increasingly desperate at Loftus Road but QPR have been handed a massive lifeline and the place has absolutely erupted. it's carnage. It's bedlam. It's 1-1."

Had lunch there back in 2013, was very, very good! I think HFW's association is just by name only these days, but some of the guys you see on his shows were cooking. Lyme Regis also had another brilliant restaurant by Mark Hix. However, while some of these boys can cook, their business sense is lacking.
Just scrolling back up to a post about a dodgy chef, a taxi friend of mine picked up a famous chef from his house all dressed in whites, and took him to his restaurant, where he was promptly asked to wait. The chef went in through a side door, exited through the main 5 minutes later, thus giving the diners the opinion he'd been hard at it in the kitchen!

Many years ago, I organised a company event at the Savoy Grill, one of Gordon Ramsay's restaurants.
Now, in its defence, it hadn't long opened, but the service was poor. First World problems and all that, but although the plated main courses arrived in good time, of the veg, there was no sign. We all stared at the food for about 10 minutes, then shrugged our shoulders and got stuck in.
A sheepish looking waitress arrived with the veg shortly afterwards, by which time, we'd almost finished. To be fair, all the food was decent, but I can well imagine some of the precious celebrity judges on "Great British Menu" describing it as the worst thing ever.

I feel the same eye twitching animosity for ‘food critic’ Grace Dent. An absolute chancer who clearly, from her inane comments on Masterchef, knows feck all about food. I’d be surprised if she could boil an egg. She tries to mask her complete lack of experience or talent by adopting a fake stern and intimidating persona. I hate her.

She gets a lot of abuse and death threats. I’d be a tad stern.

Well, having all that invective for someone you've never met is just weird.
