Bloody hard work, and he uses a lot of short cuts. It was delicious though. I made the demi-glace from Bourdain’s cookbook. Bloody hard work, and he uses a lot of short cuts.

It is OK, no more. I guess when AB was actually in the kitchen it may have been better. If you want classic French bistro cooking (outside of France) Racine in London will more than satisfy your needs and you don't have to fly trans Atlantic to get there.
