Noooo, nothing that's actually SUPPOSED to be fermenting! It's a Mexican ("Mexican" - Tex Mex) place. And we're talking bean dip with dairy that's been out of the fridge 5 hours a day, every day for two weeks. And guacamole that so old and full of gas it's like scooping whipped cream! It is blindingly obvious this isn't normal or acceptable- it's just the chef was so adamant that it was, and his idiot buddy in the kitchen backing him up and eating the stuff without batting an eyelid. Ugh! It was like being the only sane person in a loony bin.
I really don't know why he's still in business. He's owned the place for 8 years, and been the chef for several periods (don't know how long) during that time. And I doubt he was ever any better than he is now - basically lazy and childish and with no care about serving good food. Maybe he's employed some better chefs who've kept the place worth eating at? The last one was no star. He had a review in a good food guide in '06 - I know he wasn't the chef then. Or maybe he does just well enough to keep the place afloat. He makes sure his disgusting food looks vaguely appetising - I guess people are less likely to notice the taste if it looks ok.
