Restaurant & Hotel ReviewsWho is Fat
Bastard, Acapulco Critic Extraordinaire?
Born
into the post war austerity of London in 1951, Fat Bastard developed a taste for
all things exotic at an early age. When Avocados were worth a king’s ransom and
cheese on toast was a treat, he gorged on swiss rolls and beans on toast as he
laid the foundations of his current prodigious girth.
His parents,
despairing of his gluttony, shipped him off to boarding school at the age of six
where he languished but developed his taste buds by poaching pheasants and
raiding the Headmaster’s larder. He was inevitably asked to leave and
immediately headed for Paris where his hedonistic pursuits were given full rein.
Thirty five years of traveling at other people’s expense, while working in the
film business, have made him a difficult customer to please …
He has had
an excellent dinner at Le Tour d’Argent, prefers the Nobu in London to the one
in New York, thinks Wolfgang Puck and Pierre Prudhomme are pretentious
fools but admits that Marco Pierre White, Paul Bocuse and Alain Ducasse are
pretty damn good. He likes the George V in Paris but not the Hotel Atlantique in
Limbe (Cameroon), was entranced by the Meridien in Hanoi and the Mandarin in
Hong Kong. He HATES the Copacabana Palace in Rio but rather likes the Ouro Verde
round the corner.
Fat Bastard has eaten balut in Manila, snake in
Beijing, ducks tongues on Lama Island, fish & chips in Lowestoft, prairie
oysters in Amarillo, bear in Helsinki, zebu in Madagascar and pickled shark in
Iceland.
Closer to home he loves tacos al pastor and would rather eat
them by the kilo than some of the stuff on offer at Acapulco’s ‘finer’
establishments. He is very happy eating a good torta, a bowl of spaghetti or
pescadillas on the beach but much happier tucking into a well prepared prime
rib, garlic dripping langostinos, halibut with hollandaise sauce and new
potatoes or a delicate vichysoise accompanied by a glass or two of something red
and delicious.
Fat Bastard knows about food, wine, restaurants and
hotels. He has spent many, many years building his knowledge. Ignore him at your
peril…
