  • One of the craziest restaurants that I've ever been to - let's step inside the former number one restaurant in the world: The Fat Duck from chef Heston Blumenthal. It's a restaurant full of fun, whimsy, and wonder and genuinely would make Willy Wonka himself proud 😤
    As always, let me know where I should go next - we explore some of the craziest restaurants around the world so we're always looking to go even crazier ❤️

    Do not stop making these videos I literally just sat here for 3 hours and watched all of them and they are so interesting and amazing. It is clear you have such a passion for food and the storytelling power it has, and I’ve honestly gotten to learn so much just by getting to watch you at all these amazing restaurants. Keep it up!!!!

    The second I saw the mock turtle soup, in the form of a pocket watch, I knew it was The Fat Duck by Heston Blumenthal!

    Honestly when I hear a 3 Michelin star (for 19 years) restaurant is $400 for a meal… it sounds like a good deal to me. That’s like 3 dates at a basic restaurant

    I am a culinary student in Paris, I was ten when I discovered Heston on TLC, and it has been a dream of mine to work for him one day. It seems they don't take interns from countries other than the UK. Hopefully, I get a job at the fat duck once I graduate.

      Not to put you off at all, but just so you're aware, triple starred Michelin restaurants vary hugely in price.
      To give you an example, as long as you were clever about it, you could grab a meal at Gordon Ramsay's flagship restaurant for under $360 (say, half a bottle of wine and the prestige menu, plus service), whereas some charge more than that just for the food.
