Gordon Ramsay om "gastropubs"

Kollade efter en bok (eller, okej då, det var inte en bok utan Get Fuzzy page-a-day calendar till jobbet). Hittade följande beskrivning av fenomenet "gastropub" som en viss krogkedja borde meditera över:

[...]Then came Gastro pubs. Great to start with; talented young cooks, without the financial backing to open a restaurant, but with the foresight to serve great home cooking in comfortable surroundings. This however had a backlash, with people trying to serve restaurant food at restaurant prices in bashed up old pubs and the trend set in. These have now almost had their day and great British pubs are rediscovering their roots and getting back to basics.
