it will cost you more than 100 quail eggs, however i think you might have saved a lot of money as you are paying peanut for your native speaker teachers. Can't imagine native speaker accept 300 dollars salary per month for teaching job.

Paddy rice has a great location, no surprise it's popular with tourists, good call on the new management, and that capable people still do arrive on these shores.
Same in most so called third world countries, but it still does not warrant shitty service or indifference on their part. What isn't said because most of us like pussy, it's the same for women servers. Just as inept and many of them give shit attitude.

As far as Paddy Rice is concerned, you're right. It's a great location and getting their act together is good to hear. The building itself could be so much cooler and fun. I'm not 100% sure, but I think they don't play music there and I would have liked that better than listening to the dirty exTats next to me. I do believe they televise sporting events, but again, I'm not 100% sure the sound is up. It seems like a waist of space there too and the bar mostly unused. There is a lot to work out, but at least they have something to work with. I find the place utterly boring, but I will try it one more time when I get back.

Nice 1 Sammy, good to see you have your finger on the facts. Care to share your salary levels with the class?

For the record, I believe the PR breakfast retails for $5.50. 100 quail eggs go for $7. Thus proof of the issues with Khmer dudes working in the service industry that Gavin was speaking about.

Didn't you once tell a story about how you worked in a hotel for 1 morning, but quit because they wouldn't allow you to sit down?

You are right:

English Chefs: 126

Foreign Chefs: 26

Some Chefs have more than one restaurant and one died a couple of days before getting his star.

I would like to do the Sunday Dinner at Northcote and, if it ever doesn't sell out in a nano second, one of Victors master classes.

Those who think all British food is substandard, with all meat incinerated and vegetables cooked for so long they are unable to bear their own weight, obviously only have experience of the restaurants, where all dishes are prefixed by 'Mc' That, I think you might find, are cooked in the American style.

Actually looking at the profiles most of them were trained by English Chefs in England....

Maybe you have been in Asia too long and missed the culinary trends in Blighty? I am the first one to knock English food but if I am honest a lot has changed over the last couple of decades.

23 million Australians can't be wrong about the quality of good ol' traditional British grub can they?

''Originally considered street food, meat pies remain at the top of the list for Australia's most popular dish. The meat pies and pasties had their connection to what was considered the staple foods of the 1800s: beef, pork or mutton'' (the meat of adult sheep)Apr 7, 2015

There's a bias in the Michelin star system towards European, Japanese and certain Chinese cuisines.

Finicky preparation seems to be very high on their list of priorities. A bit like how a comedy won't trump a serious holocaust drama at the oscars.

Two things that are grossly underrepresented:

1. Mexican and Latin American cuisine - the Yanks would do very well in this category. San Diego could probably fly the flag on its own.
2. SE Asian cuisine - woeful in Europe. Tropical produce lacking. Aussies would dominate this if it was rated by the Frogs.

I had some pretty naff food in Oz but the meat pies were really the pits. I do not believe the only meat in there is Wombat road kill.

I have to agree with Ricecakes. I was last there maybe a year ago for a Sunday roast. Next to us was this totally drunk and equally loud pom (at around 11am) who obviously hadn't slept a wink, but had rather powered through the night drinking heavily. That was a bit annoying, but what made it really weird was that next to him was his teenage son (as in, around 15) who didn't look drunk, but could barely stay awake. I assume they'd been drinking and whoring the whole night or something. Either way, that's one of the better types of Paddy Rice clientele.

Sure he was a Pom? He might have been an elocuted yank, maybe?
