There is a lot of accidental Partridge in the things he does, especially abroad. Muttering about steaks not being rare enough. He hasn’t kept up too well with the times in terms of trendiness but that could be a good thing. Simple honest seafood is what he is all about, not wild herbs on top of liquid nitrogenised twigs arranged with tweezers.
He has managed somehow to get his son into his show, and into a low tier of celeb chef status, who is basically him but with less personality. Good going that.
