You knowingly entered Angus steak house *and* went to at least 5 Jamie Oliver joints when your opinion of two of them was dire enough to justify never going to another. I'm not saying I don't like it - but you do go to places obviously wrong for you.

I like chicken, I like rotisserie chicken, and I have liked other rotisserie chicken places very much. I didn't like this one, because it's not very good. Do you not think people deserve to know that?Chris Poplehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02668565800857295023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1588051831069283523.post-63356491509193527762014-01-30T13:30:47.762+00:002014-01-30T13:30:47.762+00:00What with the myriad chicken shop options around (...What with the myriad chicken shop options around (I've only done Clockjack [a pretty sad affair] and Grillstock in Bristol's 5-hour smoked chicken [DING DONG]), I keep meaning to try one of the cheapest options of the lot - Liverpool Street Chickens. <br /><br />A gaudy yellow shop round the backstreets of Spitalfields that - if I recall - does half a rotisserie chicken for £3.50. What could go wrong?!

There is little point in this review other than to confirm that you went to the wrong place for your expectations. Roast a chicken at home (you've said you can). Eat at restaurants where the chefs add value by using culinary skills you don't have or spending time you can't spare. The effort made in kitchens creating base stocks to use in silken shining sauces, for example, is worth paying for and paying attention to. If they make a mess of that, knock them, but why eat at a restaurant/diner that is clearly catering for people with lower expectations? I enjoy your writing very much (it's far better than mine) but I don't understand why you go somewhere so obviously wrong for you and then express surprise when it turns out to be just that. Personally, I never order chicken when out; it is always the least exciting dish and I'd rather be more adventurous. Joanna Biddolphnoreply@blogger.com
