Series 1, Episode 1 - Food And Wine

A grumpy guide to food and wine. Food and wine and the pretentious nonsense talked about it can send people of a grumpy disposition over the edge.

Further details

Chefs are the new rock stars, food the new entertainment, wine the new way to get drunk and be able to show off about how rich and clever you are at the same time. Food and wine and the pretentious nonsense talked about it can send people of a grumpy disposition over the edge.

Our mission is to demystify the more preposterous food and wine terminology, to get some inside tips on just how to summon the waiter, and how to seem more knowledgeable than you actually are when the somellier seems determined to make you feel about two inches tall.
