Beyond anything else, it’s telling that no chef seems to hold such weight among diehard restaurant fans today. Pierre White called time on the high-end London restaurant scene more than 25 years ago, yet chefs and food fans still hang on his every word. Jamie Oliver and Gordon Ramsay might have curried more fame in recent years, but neither would be labelled a national treasure. Not yet, anyway. All Pierre White has to do is post a video eating a cheeseburger and the crowds go wild. If there’s a takeaway to be had, it’s that the world of food and drink really, really, really needn’t be so serious. What’s next? Greggs? I wouldn’t be opposed.
