Twitter, Facebook, the blogosphere is abuzz with news of a scathing review of top chef Neil Perry's Rockpool Bar & Grill in Perth.Titled : "your $326 dinner was the most disgusting thing I have ever eaten' our reviewer minces no words:
" From the moment I stepped through your
ten-foot-high Japanese-influenced doors and into your airline hangar
dining hall, the experience was the most joyless I have ever had
involving food. I’m not just talking about the high end stuff. I’m
talking about $8.50 kebabs ordered by the roadside at three in the
morning after nights out with the lads. I’m talking about failed
experiments cooking alone when too drunk to go to the shops. I’m talking
about childhood stand-offs with parents ending with me blocking my
nose, scarfing the turnip and running from the table crying. Your food
was worse, Rockpool Bar and Grill Perth. And you charged me $326."
The blog is authored by someone called scheissenbedauern ( pictured in his 'selfie')who apparently lives in Brisbane and even that fine city has rankled the poor chap as he explains:"I recently visited Brisbane for the first time. I never wanted to see Brisbane but got sent for work. I spent the first hour walking around thinking, it’s true, Brisbane sucks. I even wrote some text messages to people. “In Brisbane. It’s everything I expected.”
