COOL PLACES…If the weather forecasters are to be believed, we are finally

going to be blessed with a hot summer. It’s long overdue, and what

better way to enjoy the heat than to visit some of the cool places

we’ve got for you right here in the Menu Guide.

this magazine is all about celebrating the best eating and

drinking on offer in and around Plymouth, and hopefully you will

take the opportunity to experience for yourself the ever-growing choice of top

quality bars and restaurants right on your doorstep.

I think the city is highly underrated as a tourist destination, but with more and more

people choosing a ‘stay-cation’ this year, there’s no better time to experience everything

the region has to offer. the restaurants and bars have been working hard to provide better

and better service and great quality food and drink (not to mention ever-increasing value

for money), giving us all something to shout about. so show your support and embrace

them, and if you’ve enjoyed a great meal recently, tell all your friends, in fact tell everyone!

as usual, our readers’ competition is just a little bit special, and this edition offers

you the chance to win a luxurious stay for two at the fabulous hotel endsleigh.

enter now on page 15 and keep your fingers crossed – it might be you!

this edition of the Menu Guide is also packed with interesting features for you

to enjoy. this summer sees the cocktail making a comeback – and you don’t have to

be 007 to enjoy something ‘shaken not stirred’ – turn to page 12 to find out about

Cocktail therapy. to make those exotic-sounding menus a little more easy to digest,

we’ve exposed the mystery of ‘restaurantspeak’, translating those tricks of the trade

and sorting out the ‘jus’ from the ‘gravy’, if you get my meaning. the tanner brothers

celebrate 10 years in the city and explain why it’s been a dream come true.

We look at a family that has been a big influence on the dining scene in Plymouth,

even though you may not even know it, and discover the new generation that are

continuing this family affair with Café Curva.

and finally, we explore the magnetic attraction that brings people to Bar

Bigwigs and what makes it so difficult to pull yourself away. sitting Pretty in the

City is on page 16. all that’s left for me to say is enjoy the summer, and I’ll catch

up with you again soon.

TANNERSRESTAuRANT

July 17th 1999: the day a childhood dream to open a restaurant became a reality and the doors to Tanners opened for business for the first time. tanners this year celebrates its 10th birthday!

this year the tanner Brothers, Chris and James, celebrate 10 years at the eponymous eatery housed in the medieval Prysten house. ten years on, a huge amount has

changed for them and their business.tanners restaurant is renowned

throughout the south West, and indeed further afield, for its innovative dishes created using local seasonal produce, extensive selection of wines chosen to complement your meal and exemplary attention to detail for every aspect of the dining experience.

three years ago they branched out with their take on a brasserie, the Barbican Kitchen, housed in the world famous Plymouth Gin Distillery on the Barbican. In february 2008 a devastating fire ripped through the kitchen. that was a dark period, but Chris and James were able to retain all the staff and three months later the phoenix rose from the ashes. since then, the Barbican Kitchen has gone from strength to strength. Like its big sister tanners, it is a highly successful concept with 80% of its original staff at the helm.

Back to the mothership ‘tanners’. the stunning Prysten house provides a superb setting for the tanner Brothers food. With hundreds of recipes lining their office shelves, this place is uniquely special to the brothers, but more importantly to the people of Plymouth. the Brothers set out with a vision to provide great locally sourced food at an

affordable price. their vision was rewarded with the award of restaurant of the Year for england 2007-08, a title many chefs would love to have under their belt.

‘staff are key to everything’ say the Brothers. With 50 employees across the two sites, some of whom have been with the company for over 6 years, the whole tanners family continues to flourish. they have

recently set up an apprenticeship programme for young kitchen talent with City College. this has been a resounding success with a large number of aspiring chefs applying for the 2 available places on a two-year placement. front of house and service is just as important as the food, with all staff undertaking in-house training on a regular basis.

‘sometimes we can hardly believe what’s happened, you have to pinch yourself and ask is it really 10 years?!’ says James. ‘In that time our families have grown which changes your whole attitude and focus in life. some of the staff have also got married and had kids, so it’s been fantastic to watch their lives evolve as well.’

‘the hours in the business can be brutally long and hard, so it’s very important to enjoy the time when you’re off as much as you can. With young kids, we are even more aware of

toPteNhIts

enjoying that time off, and as a result we have developed a very child friendly approach at the Barbican Kitchen. Children under 5 eat for free and young families know that they can feel comfortable and enjoy their time together, enjoying our coloured balloons and Barbican Kitchen colouring pencils!’

tanners has spawned some very talented individuals who fortunately have shared the same vision as the brothers and helped to grow the business to where it is today. here’s looking to the next 10 years!

Cocktails are great. More importantly cocktails are back with not a stereotypical consumer in sight! Gone are the days when colourful

mixed drinks were associated with the cherry bopping/umbrella drinking mishaps of Delboy trotter, the debonair allurement of Mr Bond or even more recently the sophisticated luncheons of those four american ladies who liked to have a lot of sex in the city. today, everybody enjoys a good cocktail and we in the south West are demonstrating passion and an unquenchable thirst for refreshing mixed drinks in their diversity!

Lavish cocktail bars hosting meticulous mixologists (the posh word for cocktail barmen/women) serving inventive drinks with fresh ingredients are relishing a renewed renaissance in the region, with several reasons to their popularity.

firstly and I’m not going to harp on about it, but in our tough economical climate

savouring a cocktail can be seen as one of life’s simpler pleasures. they are colourful and creative, inventive and intriguing, simply they are fun and paradoxically their revival could partially be due the recession.

John Clay, Bar Manager for Plymouth Gin Distillery enlightened: “Bizarrely, the recession has affected cocktails positively. a well-made cocktail not only tastes great but it’s intriguing. our customers don’t want normality they want novelty. People are conscious about spending their money and demand fun, affordability and quality equally!” harri Pettitt-Wade, Bar supervisor annabels Cabaret and Discotheque Plymouth concurred: “the south West has been late to pick up the cocktail vibe, but the popularity has finally permeated into the region. the economic downturn, surprisingly has played its part, with people spending less money on alcohol but instead making nights out special with cocktails.”

secondly, with more people exploring cocktails many of us are becoming connoisseurs! We know the difference between our Mohitos, Cosmopolitans and singapore slings and relish introduction to new ideas by our regional experts: “People in the region are exploring traditional but also new cocktail concepts and we enjoy educating whilst serving.

“Cocktails offer dynamic flavours with blend and balance and there are some passionate bartenders in the region that enjoy educating and

beautiful location?” Michelle Neale, Manager and Co-owner of Carpe Diem Bar and restaurant Plymouth enlightened.

Lastly the final reason to the rise of cocktail popularity in the region is curious personal empowerment. Cocktails today allow for consumer interaction and drinks can be tailored to individual requirements

and needs. Julie Clifford Bar supervisor, View 2 Plymouth enlightened: “We can create bespoke cocktails to satisfy individual tastes, adapting the ingredients and mixers to suit each person. this ensures consumers get exactly what they want. today, cocktails are one of the only drinks where individuals can play an active role in the end result!”

With so many great reasons to relish a beautiful cocktail in the region, so many innovative places to deliberate over and so many passionate artisans ready for your arrival, isn’t it time that you indulged in a little cocktail therapy?

helping people to discover this big world of flavours.” Jai Joshi, head Barman and Duty Manager, treasury Bar Plymouth enlightened.

thirdly, there’s an undeniable passion and commitment from such adept mixologists in the region that has increased the quality and standards of the mixed drinks. Kevin Mcsweeney Bar Manager for asia Chic enthused: “the increase in professionally trained bartenders who have skill and meticulous attention to detail has helped raise standards and interest. If you produce cocktails of quality you have to be passionate about your craft and there are a handful of people here that seriously are!”

the fourth reason is down to the region’s expectation for quality and taste! Mario hajiyianni Co-owner of Mission and Morgans explained: “With so many good restaurants in the region, consumers are spoilt for choice and are much more aware of what they are eating but also what they are drinking. People in the south West pay attention, they have choice and expect great food, but also interesting drinks with great taste, cocktails provide that!” Indeed just being in Devon means we are spoilt however, we are not only spoilt for choice when it comes to taste, but location too, with Devon’s relaxed sun-graced sea-lined retreat adding its own intriguing dimension to cocktail popularity. “When Devon is sunny, people often come in search of a great cocktail to enhance the great location, combining great taste with sunny sea-lined surroundings. What could be better than savouring a beautiful cocktail in a

PrettYsIttING

IN the CItY

II’d heard from numerous friends about Bar Bigwigs in the heart of Plymouth’s city. strangely, in every conversation the same words kept cropping up: “innovative, magical, attractive,

adaptable.” some friends were impressed by the immediately inviting friendliness and the smiley, well-presented, good looking service staff who worked with efficiency, knowledge and charm. some were delighted by the convenient city-central location near Plymouth law courts in the “trendy-city zone,” they enlightened.

some commended the Mediterranean style décor that had been intelligently fused with the buildings natural elegance, describing how opulent bay windows dressed with fresh flowers created a majestic refreshing mood by day, whilst warm rustic tones, flickering

candles, low lights and tasteful finishings encouraged relaxation and romance by night. others spoke emphatically of a noteworthy selection of sumptuous dishes, a daily changing “specials Menu”, a fabulous mid-week dining deal with a free bottle of wine thrown in, a beautiful list of old World wines, hearty ales, fun spirits and complementary tapas. all enthused equally about the young,

dynamic incredibly adaptable new co-owners; Charlotte rhodes and Jamie McCullough who had transformed Bar Bigwigs in twelve seriously hardworking months, into one of the most exciting places in Plymouth!

With endorsements like these I had to investigate. to my delight my friends hadn’t exaggerated! It’s not surprising that Charlotte and Jamie celebrated Bar Bigwigs 1st anniversary in april this year and their reputation is rocketing! “We can’t quite believe it’s been a year already. We are delighted with the response we’ve had. We opened in a tough economical climate and soon realised from the outset that listening and adapting to our customers needs would be key to our success. No matter how bizarre or novel the request of our guests, we’ll achieve it!” Charlotte beamed.

talk about being adaptable! from business “Power-Breakfasts” at the crack of dawn, Devonshire cream teas in the afternoon, stag and hen do’s, fancy dress parties and

there’s something about Bar Bigwigs that makes you want to go early, leave late and return a week later for more, much more! this intimate Bistro Bar is little short of sensational and an innovative breath of fresh air in the city. Rosalie glendinning samples its splendour.

live music events in the evenings, to their novel “Be a Chef for a Day”, where guests have the opportunity to cook for friends and family using the Bistro’s facilities, enjoyment and entertainment is guaranteed. Not only that but the entire premises can be hired out for private events, including bespoke wedding functions, where the food, design and layout can be tailored to suit and meet the requirements of the happy couple. “We

have a key central location so we get diverse requests all the time. It’s a great venue to hire out entirely for private functions and weddings as we can adjust ourselves and the room to cater for bespoke events offering exclusivity for private functions. that said, we never, forget our regular clientele, who are crucial to us, making sure their needs are met daily,” Jamie advised.

after visiting it’s not hard to understand

why they have such a strong loyal following and their reputation is rocketing. their secret it seems is twofold. firstly it’s their ability to dismiss rules and regulations in the best possible way. strictly everybody is welcome whether for a quick drink or lavish three-course meal. “If you want to pop in for a pre-dinner drink, hire us out for a large birthday party, enjoy a relaxed quiet coffee or a serious business meeting you can, for we can adapt, there’s are no rules or regulations here, all guests are welcome all of the time,” Charlotte highlighted. secondly, there’s unique consistency and generosity in the food served, where they provide beautifully fresh prevalent dishes at affordable prices.

from light bites including seafood, salads and meat dishes, to main courses boasting burgers, steaks, fajitas and pasta, to their inventive “specials Board” that works with seasonal produce including; DIY asparagus and dunking egg hollandaise and Parmesan crusted cod with avocado and watercress.

Not forgetting their desserts of course, that provide tantalising treats including local ice creams, Devon cheeses and an assortment of sweet chocolate goodies! “It’s really important to us to offer dishes that are local, seasonal and good value, cooked and served with honesty and integrity.” Jamie concluded.

Whatever your occasion and whatever your

reason, if you are looking for delicious dishes, generosity, fun and a place that will bend over backwards to ensure you have a fabulous time, then Bar Bigwigs must be visited. seriously, you’ll wonder why you haven’t been before!

Opening Hours: mon - Thurs 12 noon - 11pm, Fri – Sat 12 noon – 2am, Sun - open for special occasions.Available for Private Functions.

We have to go back a very long time probably to andalusia in southern spain. this is an extremely hot corner of spain’s

Mediterranean coast and home to one of the world’s most famous drinks, sherry.

sherry is a lightly fortified wine of some substance currently enjoying a renaissance in bars and restaurants. history tells us that the innkeepers of andalusia used to place a simple piece of bread on top of a glass of sherry or wine to keep the dust and fruit flies out. this was much appreciated by visiting horsemen who no doubt stopped for “refreshment” on their journey.

the spanish rarely drink without eating some food so I guess it was inevitable that enterprising innkeepers started to place on the bread small morsels of simple cuisine such as local ham, simple slices of cheese, slivers of fish or perhaps marinated vegetables. these became known as tapas or lid and a culinary gift to the world was born.

fast forward to the 21st century we now

find tapas bars all over spain mainly the simple local bar that is utterly uncomplicated serving an array of colourful dishes to accompany the chosen beverage.

When I take Wine tourists to rioja on a Wineholiday (go to www.wineholidays.net for itinerary) we stay in the lovely city of Logrono where we visit the incredible Calle Laurel, a honeycomb of approximately 200 tapas bars and restaurants all brilliantly individual, serving the throngs of locals and visitors until early in the morning.

sherry has been replaced with tinto (red) and Blanco (white) wines usually offered very young, often chilled and very moorish. the tintos are made from the grapes tempranillo and Garnacha and have probably seen little of no oak. these are the juicy wines that chill well and match a plethora of foods ranging from

spicy seafood to Garlic laced Mushrooms.spanish whites have come a long way since

the (very expensive) oak-aged Blancos or dull inconsistent younger versions, often of no particular breeding. they have all but been replaced with exciting wines from Galicia, rueda, rioja and Penedes. Made with the grapes, Viura, Verdejo, alborinio and Godello these fascinating indigenous wines are now very fresh and carefully made and should be considered as an excellent alternative to your current favourite white wine.

try Campo Viejo Viura 2007 around £5.99 at sainsbury’s or thresher showing green apple fruit and lemon scent with a bone-dry finish. Clean and fruity to the last drop.

Is it nature or nurture that makes us good in business? for one unique family in Plymouth it’s definitely a blend of both. Rosalie glendinning joins the clan.

It was a great day for Plymouth when steve hajiyianni ventured to the city from London in the early 1950s, with little more than great imagination and courage to his name. through brilliant business acumen,

high standards and hard work this Greek/Cypriot gentleman and his beloved family including brothers andrew, Gregory and Kypros, formed the foundation to one of the most respected business portfolios in the city.

there are many words I could use to describe the family today but honest; courteous and consistent are three. the family has impeccable standards, which have been passed to the next generation thriving in their business ethics and lives today. “We were raised to be consistent and honest. We were nurtured in a hard working, loving environment with strong values and standards which live on in us and our businesses,” said steve’s son Mario hajiyianni.

I am confident that you will have visited one, if not all of this family’s fabulous establishments. Mario and Christopher hajiyianni who are involved with the New Continental hotel, the Mission Bar and Bistro, arribas Premier Mexican restaurant, Morgans have teamed up with their cousins George and Paul heracleous, John Demetriades and John hajiyianni from the award winning Barbican Pasta Bar, the city centre Pasta and Pizza Bar to create Café Curva. simply this family offers something for everyone, as it has done for years!

after opening in 2006, Café Curva is the family’s first joint venture between the next generation; the first cousins, who have pulled their natural skills and resources together to create this refined self-service restaurant at the top of Drake Circus shopping centre. “We all have our separate businesses to run, but this is our first joint venture. We’ve had a great response, with strong regular clientele; people come here even if they are not shopping just to enjoy the food. they know we offer quality at affordable prices!” advised co-owner George heracleous.

however, there are many more reasons to the speedy success of Café Curva. firstly, it’s the family’s ability to oversee the operation daily. “We are unique in that there’s always one, if not two of us running the business everyday. Customers know we care, we guarantee the highest standards, we remain consistent and we can ensure the best service,” advised John Demetriades Café Curva Manager and co-owner. secondly, it’s the enviable location in the heart of Plymouth’s main shopping complex, combined with passion for community. “You don’t usually get a good restaurant in a shopping centre with views

over Plymouth City. Location is key. We knew we could do something for the community offering something different!” enlightened co-owner Paul heracleous.

thirdly, it’s their positive adaptability in tough economic times. “Yes, there’s a recession, every business is affected, but we aren’t afraid of challenge or change. We get strength from each other as a family and adapt to meet customers’ needs,” highlighted Mario. Not to mention the food at generous, affordable prices! Delicious, wholesome, freshly prepared dishes are abundant, made with locally sourced ingredients. from full english breakfasts, homemade soups, paninis, sandwiches, baguettes, salads, jacket potatoes and vegetarian options, to a beautiful range of freshly made pasta and seafood dishes and their daily carvery!

You only have to walk past Café Curva to realise business is buoyant. With two hundred people able be seated at any given time including forty people in the outside terrace, the restaurant buzzes with an assortment of clientele; from happy families and lunching ladies to businessmen, students and relaxed retirees. all return to enjoy the curvaceous,

uncomplicated self-service bar, the spacious layout and the uplifting refreshing ambience with its clean colourful tones and dramatic floor to ceiling windows.

With such impeccable standards, kind generosity, attentive service and delicious dishes, it’s no wonder Café Curva is thriving. however, all family members were in agreement that there was one essential ingredient above all others that had led to the success of Café Curva and of all their businesses -trust. “trust has been key to the success of Café Curva. We trust each other and our ability as a family and in turn our customers trust us. trust and respect is at the heart to our family and key to all our businesses,” added co-owner Chris hajiyianni.

It was a great day when steve hajiyianni ventured to Plymouth all those years ago. Little did he know then, that his trust in his own ability and that of his families would lead to some of the best establishments in the city, of which we are fortunate to share.

Café Curva, Drakes Circus Shopping Centre, Charles Street, Plymouth PL1 1EA. Tel: 01752-66��44. Opening Hours: mon to Sat 9am – 6pm. Sun 10am – 4.�0pm.

You don’t need a home economics GCse to understand restaurantspeak, but a smattering of french and a degree in marketing will definitely help. Nick Bayly thumbs through Delia’s dictionary to uncover the meanings behind some

common and not-so-common dining room dialect

THE mENu guIDE | 25

SAmPLEHEADER

although most words uttered by chefs on telly these days seem to be bleeped out by the censor, the language of the kitchen, and of the restaurant world in

general, is packed with jargon, as you’d expect to find in any industry. It’s another world, and as such demands another set of phraseology. some words are made to make the outsider seem ignorant or in some way unprofessional or ingenue, while others are dragged from the depths of culinary history.

thus you find tV chefs using poncey phrases like ‘fry off’ or ‘cook off’ when they mean just the same thing without the ‘offs’, while french terminology still litters the menus of restaurants that are much happier serving coq au vin than they are chicken in a red wine sauce.

Menus at many restaurants present a further opportunity to confuse customers

thanks to pretentious wording and the use of unnecessary foreign or ‘chefy’

words where some plain english would probably do the job just as well.

Part of it is borne out of some dated concept that anything remotely

foreign sounding must, by its nature of not being english, be somehow exotic, and therefore better. thus

‘jus’ sounds more impressive than ‘heavily reduced gravy’, ‘coulis’ is more enticing that ‘fruit-based sauce’ and ‘legumes julienne’ has more menu

appeal than ‘diced mixed veg’.here, at the Menu Guide, we are

dedicated to demystifying the joys of eating out, so here is our guide to

deciphering the language of the kitchen and the dining room.A la carte: Its direct translation from

french is ‘according to the menu’, and it is used to refer to a menu of items priced and ordered separately, rather than selected from a list of preset meals at fixed prices. In direct contrast, a ‘table d’hôte’ is a menu with limited or no choice which is served at a

fixed price, which explains why the latter is much cheaper than the former.

Al dente: often used to negatively describe something that’s a bit raw, al dente (‘to the tooth’) generally refers to pasta or rice when it is cooked so that it offers resistance to the bite, but is not hard. al dente vegetables should be crisp, without a hint of stewed sogginess.

Amuse Bouche: the ‘funny mouth’ is usually a thimbleful of cauliflower soup that arrives at the very beginning of a meal “with the compliments of the chef” to make you feel like you’re getting something for nothing. sometimes it can be the highlight of the entire meal, underlining the principle that less can mean more.

Aperitif: Not something you need in order to chew, but a drink, generally alcoholic in content, which is offered before a meal. Not to be confused with a ‘digestif’, a drink that is taken after a meal to help settle the stomach.

Appetiser: a small dish served before the main courses of a meal, otherwise known as a starter. In some cases the purpose is to stimulate or tease the appetite, but usually the purpose is to reduce the appetite without spoiling it for the main meal. Usually more substantial than a hors d’oeuvre, which are generally bite-sized.

Brasserie: once the preserve of back-street Parisian cafés serving a glass of red with a bowl of cassoulet, a brasserie has come to

EATINgYOuRWORDS

mg_summer09(master).indd 25 20/5/09 07:21:00

Page 26: ISSUE 6

Tasting menus allow diners to experience a chef’s

repertoire in one extended meal involving up to a

dozen scaled-down courses. Ganache (Below) is just

one of many French-inspired words that can often

leave English restaurant-goers in the dark when it

comes to menu choices

26 | THE mENu guIDE

EATINgYOuRWORDS

typify any establishment that has pretentions beyond being a bistro, but is not quite in the white table cloth league occupied by full-blown restaurants. Particularly prevalent in hotels, brasserie-style menus have left behind their french roots and generally offer home-style cooking with added ‘juj’.

BYO: Bring Your own. there are a limited number of restaurants which will allow you to bring your own alcohol, as they may not have a full licence to serve their own. It can cut the cost of eating out considerably, although some may apply a ‘corkage’ charge.

Entrée: often confused with an appetiser, the entrée usually refers to the main course of a meal, but can also mean any major course.

Front-of-House: the public spaces of the dining room and sections of a restaurant that are viewable by diners.

gravlax: sounding more like a treatment for constipation, this is nothing more sinister than raw pickled salmon.

ganache: almost impossible to avoid on the pudding menus at more expensive restaurants, ganache is a rich chocolate icing made of semi-sweet chocolate and whipping cream that is heated and stirred together until the chocolate has melted. the mixture is cooled until lukewarm and poured over a cake or torte.

Haute Cuisine: an outmoded and pretentious expression of french derivation used in the ‘70s and ‘80s to describe food that is over-elaborately prepared. Its modern equivalent is ‘fine dining’, which is equally meaningless. the french word haute translates as ‘high’, but haughty would be more appropriate.

Ile Flottante: translated into english as ‘floating Islands’, this super-sickly classic french dessert comprises stiffly beaten, sweetened egg whites that have been poached in milk. these eggy islands are then ‘floated’ on a sea of thin custard sauce. enjoy.

Lights: Be careful not to ask for ‘a light’

if you’re in a restaurant that specialises in serving exotic cuts of meat, as you are likely to be served up a sautéed pig’s lung. Lights can also be used in a stew such as civet or in a pate, although we used to ask for them from our local butcher to give to our dog. Yum.

maître d’hôtel; the Maitre D’ is the man you need to know in order to get the best table in the house or even a foot in the door at some establishments. they sometimes perform the duties of a headwaiter, although others float around the dining room making sure everyone is happy and the restaurant is running smoothly.

Over-easy: Not six balls from Phil tufnell, but a fried egg that has been flipped over, so that the white is cooked on both sides, but the yolk is still runny. ‘over-medium’ results in a solid yoke, which is the preferred method of cooking under hot lamps in motorway service stations.

Signature Dish: this is a recipe that identifies an individual chef. Ideally, it should be unique and allow an informed

gastronome to name the chef in a blind tasting, but in practice a chef’s signature dish often changes, and most would rather not be known for producing one particular recipe for fear of being pigeonholed. for instance, snail porridge is one of heston Blumenthal’s trademark dishes, but he may sometimes wish he’d never thought of it.

Silver Service: Not a grey-haired waiter, but the name given to a method of table service which involves serving food at the table, rather than bringing it already plated up. silver service waiters use forks and spoons to transfer food to the diner’s plate, but it must always be from the left side. In france, this kind of service is known as ‘english service’, whereas in england we just call it naff.

Sommelier: he’s the wine man, and most top-class restaurants will have one to advise on wine choices and menu pairings. Providing there are enough wines by the glass available, try asking for wines to match your courses for a total gastronomic experience. Be prepared to challenge your preconceptions about what wine goes with what food.

Sous Chef: Not something you do after getting food poisoning, but the person who is second in command of the kitchen. Yes, chef!

Tasting menu: Not an edible piece of paper, but a set menu that comprises a large number of smaller portions, often scaled down from dishes off the main menu. some fine dining

restaurants only offer tasting menus, while others offer it

as a special option. tasting menus generally offer between six and 10 courses, although el Bulli in spain, voted the best restaurant

in the world for the past four years, goes so far

as to serve guests 30 courses, so best you

skip breakfast.
