Whilst on Franchise restaurants - Old Orleans. What a big fat bag of Bollocks!

How much were they? They don't sound very nice!!

Corner of 42nd st. one? I ate at TGI s there, and its in the top 3 worst meals I've had in my life. the Americans generally mistake "customer service" for "pile 'em high and sell 'em cheap". Awful.

Which one? I went to the one in or around Times Square, didn't really mind it tbh as I was bloody hungry.

TGI Prestwich for me. Horrible. They keep sending me offers by e-mail, which look ok. Then I remember the food. Any price would be too much.

After reading through this thread I decided to give La Tasca in Bolton a try. I enjoyed it immensely, it was superb.

Thought the Bolton La Tasca was pretty ordinary when I went a few years ago.

An earlier caller mentioned Dimitri's "tapas bar" in Deansgate ... I went there reluctantly after the girl pointed out it always seemed full with a queue outside. And that was worse than La Tasca.

No offence to readers, but I don't think the Brits are the best judges of Spanish food, which is understandable if your experiences of Spanish food are limited to Costa del Sol and stuff either side of Las Ramblas in Barcelona.

A visit to San Sebastian (and up in the Basque region) will set you right, and render all other Spanish food you've eaten as pretty poor.

Outside of San Seb, the best tapas I've had is in Sydney - cute place overlooking Bondi Beach, called Mojo's ... real Spanish chefs serving fresh stuff in teracotta bowls - quality.

Went to Tiggis the other week - not been there for about 10 years. It's still crap.

In my younger younger days, i.e 10 years old. I always remember being in Tiggis, with mama papa, few of their friends.

I always remember one of the lads leaning back on his chair at the top of his voice shouting..

"UUUUUH UHHH UH UH UHH TERRRRRRRRRRRRIEEEEEEE MACDERMOT!!"

And then falling off and banging his head on the knife and fork draw.

LOL

Fooking delicious...........

mongolian barbecue or ghenkis kahn as it now is in manc is great fun

for anyone who's not been it's a buffet of raw meat and fish, sauce, veg and spices which you give to the chef who cooks it all together on a jock off wok thing

Just back from the Tung Fong in Worsley. May I just reiterate what thoroughly magnificent nosebag that place serves up.
