I doubt it would be up to Tom Doorley. He probably has a gig where he comes in and gives his opinion/expertise. I would presume the show format, rules and such is up to the program producers. I am not in anyway giving out about Tom Doorley I am just saying it may not be his decision.

And yeah: Tom also tweets about how little he has to do with The Restaurant other than just turning up and eating.

I know someone in The Restaurant- while she won't be the person to ask, she would know the contact details of the person who handles that kind of thing.

I dunno John , That article contains not one footnote or reference to support it's claim that the tale is false.


Call on the scholars I say , lets have this one researched properly and peer reviewed !!!

However, it's up to the people who are asserting that the origin story is true to provide the historical evidence for it.

I started writing a post about another UK TV food show which has featured beer, but it got a bit long, so I posted it as my first blog post in about a year.

The TV show in question is CH4's Secret Supper Club, which did an episode at Thornbridge[/url:107ptes3]. You can catch it on 4OD.

If you want to read my take on it, my blog is here: www.irishcraftbeer.com[/url:107ptes3]
