Sorry I still can’t get over the soup made from soup. So to paraphrase Andy Warhol, in the future everyone will be bored for 15 minutes...

I’m sure I read Anthony Worrall-Thompson’s autobiography and he said one time he worked at a hotel and he couldn’t actually cook yet, and they had to cater a large event in the 70s they just used Heinz tomato soup but mixed some tomatoes into it so it looked “fancy” and everyone sent compliments to the chef

have you seen this he sets up a fake restaurant in his shed and serves microwave food and all of the guests want to go back :LOL:

There's a bit on Tks page where he talks about MR and how they are working TOGETHER. They both big each other up, and others too, constantly - well, not the smol pixie though🤔. Which is odd IF JM's involved. It is a coherent, well planned, well executed plan though with big, big corporate and celeb names throwing themselves to be involved, so maybe JM isnt. In other news, that food looks the opposite of slop.

At the back of my mind I keep thinking Jack might be involved in one of the 52 recipes and is saving it up for a big self-important reveal. But then I realise that is exactly what Jack would want me to think, so I SHAN'T.
 
Even if JM is and that is the case it's mean spirited not to big up the involvement of others. They are literally the big boys and way out of JM's league. Maybe all the identity trying on is to carve out a new niche to work in. It must be very odd to be famous and successful for what you no longer are , a bit like Pulp struggling for a second album when no longer poor or common people --insert relevant contemporary reference here--

I would imagine that in the chef world she doesn't have a great reputation (if they even know who she is) for how she has behaved in the past
 
Does anyone have those old screenshots of her arguing with people in her food blog comments? Specifically the woman who commented that the recipes tasted okay but never filled them up, and jack responded saying that her stomach being too big isn't her problem lol... I have been scouring the wiki and stuff but can't find anything even online
