Re: Richard's Restaurant new in Chapala
I wish this new place the best of luck but, for the sake of God, British style chicken pot pie, coq au vin, Welsh shrimp pie with mashed potatoes, white sauce , leeks and sprinkled with cheese. beef stroganoff and a seafood pancake with a rich sauce filled with shrimp, scallops and clams and all accompanied by a glass of free water from the tap in case you lack the the peses to afford the bottled stuff.
Finally a restaurateur who understands the town.

Hey Dawg,
Why not give it a try,most of the main courses are priced about the same as one of your beloved Whoppers with a side of fries and you don't have to drive to GDL to get it.

My wife who is a Napa valley foodie from way back went to the open house and
said very kind things about the food. She is pretty picky so her comment is good.
I think the menu looks good selection wise.

Re: Richard's Restaurant new in Chapala
There is a reason why British style food is not at the top of the list of most popular ethnic foods like Italian, French, Chinese, etc. It's probably near where Norwegian is in the list.

Re: Richard's Restaurant new in Chapala
LOL I agree. You know, they say, the reason the British always like to keep a stiff upper lip is that. . .wait for it. . .they're trying to keep the food down.
Additionally, there is probably not one single thing on that menu that I can - or do - eat. Heavy on the meat, cream, cheese, and all encased in wheat. The kitchen would be swirling in wheat flour. Just sayin'.
I'll have to live vicariously through ya'll.

Most British food is awful, but a nice fish and chips works for me, as does welsh rarebit, ploughmans lunch and beef and kidney pie.

Re: Richard's Restaurant new in Chapala
I can do without most of the British food although there are some good dishes there but they are great chefs who come from over there so I think the menu sounds good and is worth trying,

Re: Richard's Restaurant new in Chapala
Anyone who traveled England and tried to find enjoyable English food back in the 50's & early 60's was probably quite disappointed with your options! Admittedly by the time I revisited in 1978, the food scene had improved and from all that I have read in food or travel magazines, it has even improved greatly since.

Maybe we'll have to have our next swarm at this place. We could make it a dinner swarm?

Please think back and remember that the "chef phenomenon" is a fairly recent addition to the food scene. Hell, in Mexico you even have:
"...the famous Mexican food blogger from Morelia, Cristina Potters, who I consider to be right up there with Diana Kennedy and Rick Bayless..."

Re: Richard's Restaurant new in Chapala
Obviously, Neil, but I don't think that matters. Someone's opinion of someone else's fame is just that, yet the fact remains that there are at least 10 world-renowned British chefs these days. One would have to assume that they are assisting in bringing up the rest of their brethren to perhaps a higher plane.
That being said, it doesn't matter a whit about the past of British cooking; what matters is how good this stuff tastes at Richard's. And I for one intend to find out.

If a Mexican or any other nationality serves up a taco...it's Mexican food. If a Brit serves up a taco...it's British food....just like tea and curry.

I assume you have a personal bone to pick. Cristina is both very, very knowledgeable and very willing to share that knowledge. We are lucky to have Cristina.

Dawg does not have to drive at all to get my beloved Cheese Whopper at Burger King here in San Cristobal de Las Casas for there is a Burger King franchise right on the Andador in the beautiful historic district within easy walking distance of my home here. One can get a Whopper and eat it al fresco at the Revolucion Bar across the street with a Mojito at this bar dedicated to Cuban culture and music and celebrating Che, Fidel and the Buena Vista Social Club. Why, when I can enjoy a Cheese Whopper with a Mojito al fresco on a pedestrian street in historic San Cristobal filled with a lively Easter crowd from all over Mexico, would I elect to eat shrimp, scallops and clams in a cream sauce wrapped in a crepe (a British crepe at that) in a British restaurant with a menu right out of 1956 for the most part and no liquor license.
On the other hand, I like a good coq au vin which is an e3ssential test of a talented chef so maybe I will have to give this place a try when I return to Lakeside.
When I refview that menu I have an uncontrollable urge to listen to old Guy Lombardo LPs.

You know what they say about assumptions. I have exposed her phoniness time and again. She has erroneously written about subjects of which I have a great deal of personal experience, interviewed people that I have known since they were adolescents and has been far too generous about hers and their accomplishments. She has repeatedly lied about the amount of time she has lived in this country. She lies about many of her so-called personal experiences. She is a phony whose true expertise lies in the art of self promotion.
