Ben Bartlett (Saturday)
From a young age, I knew I wanted to be a chef. My mother is a phenomenal cook and I learnt about meat, fish and game from her. Even now she won’t let me in her kitchen! I started my catering training in Bournemouth studying 7061 and 7062 Food Skills and got my first job at Forte’s Restaurant on the seafront as a commis chef. The kitchen worked with an old-fashioned brigade system so you moved around doing everything from peeling to washing! It was……

The Foodies
On a budget? Oh well – fudgeit!
Serving up their new “Gastronomy Economy” The Foodies combine credit cuisine with eye-watering flavours, and they’ll have you splitting your sides as they knock up a feast from the most paltry of pantries! Hilarious sampling sessions with special diets catered for. Definitely contains nuts!
Two wannabe TV Chefs bring their own “Heston Blumenthal style” dishes to the table. However theirs have an added twist – they use ingredients you’d find in your cupboard already. Given the current financial situation they’ve conjured up “Gastronomy Economy” – example include – Tuc biscuits with Marmite (you’l;l either love it or hate it!). Turkish Delight infused with Flake garnished with Blueberries (they’re always half-price in the supermarkets) – you get the idea?
What can we say about them? Well they take cookery into a different plane. Toni Super-mare and Meredes De La Zouch demonstrate their inventive “Gastronomie Economie” by combining credit crunching cuisine with eye watering flavours. Once the audience sample their absurd concoctions they’ll leave them clutching their sides with laughter.
This food themed comedy act is funny as well as filling!
