London's restaurant scene likes to believe it has seen everything – the soufflés, the scandals, the soft launches – but it hasn't yet had the misfortune of hearing the two of us together, in a room, with microphones. That changes this week with the launch of The Standard's Big Misteak, our new podcast, where we finally stop bothering colleagues with endless food chat and start bothering you instead.The idea is simple: two critics, one capital, far too many opinions. Each week we sit down after bounding around London's dining rooms to compare notes, argue, and occasionally agree. The first episode more or less sets the tone.If this is week one, God help week two. But if you enjoy restaurant gossip, needless bickering and an irresponsible number of meals out, The Standard's Big Misteak might be your new weekend ritual. Probably not, but give us a chance?
