The story so far
Everything you need before watchingThe waiter plates the tasting menu in chef-speak: shellfish cooked in their own juices, baby scallops on grilled baby gem, a goat-cheese mousse at the base. Rob cannot get the image of snot out of his head, even though it tastes great; Steve keeps polishing a vodka martini, shaken not stirred, and the Bond line Come, come, Mr. Bond. When the artichoke arrives, he just says he does not like it, and that should be stated now.
