Bros., Lecce: We Eat at the Worst Michelin Starred Restaurant, Ever

Wondering why anyone would subject himself to this, I had to think about John Cleese, who had a truly bad hotel while filming Monthy Python.

The rest of the crew ran away, but he actually decided to ask his wife to come over. Together they wrote down every atrocity the owner did to his guests. They wrote the script of Fawlty towers based on this experience.

Even when better executed, this style of restaurant that's as much a theatre for performance art as a place to actually eat food is so odd to me. The few experiences I've had with it actually featured some delicious food, but everything else about it was so awkward and off-putting that I don't think I'd go back to the places even for a free meal.

Thrilling

I keep thinking about the staff in the article. Do they really think their stuff is good? It can't be! it must be some kind of joke.

How did they get a michelin star? it really makes me wonder.

Rand Fishkin is a professional when it comes to whining, and this was a hilarious read. 10/10

Epic.

I've seen horse served at a "Steak house," someone caught a deal on cheap meat and put "Cheval Mignon" on the "Today's Special" chalkboard figuring the aspiring redneck crowd wouldn't get the reference (nor recognize a cow of a different color). That guy was just mean and raising money for drugs, tho.

This kind of thing... Is it an art project? Is it some obscure nihilistic monastery type thing? How does this happen?

This is bizarre! Maybe they just like to take the piss out of American tourists? :-D
