I assume the answer will be âyesâ, given itâs a restaurant in Brighton, but Iâll ask anyway as they donât have a menu on their websiteâŚ
Is there generally enough on the me I for veggies?
Seinfeld question, actually, is it the sort of joint where a well-behaved teenager wonât be out of place?

All of the waiting staff there are effectively well-behaved teenagers.
Loads of veg options. Winners for me include: Korean style cauliflower, miso aubergine & charred sweet potato. Though if I were you (veggie) I'd sack it off for the night and get some chicken skins and kara-age down me.
One of our four was a veggie last night. Loads of veggie options. She had sweet potato, two lots of their cauliflower (highly recommended), veggie ceaser salad, and aubergine. There was also a tofu version of the Japanese fried chicken on the specials board.
Itâs worth it for the chicken skin dish alone.
Just been out for dinner with @Uncle Buck , we both had a Dover sole each. I have not had one for years, itâs a stunning piece of fish.

Sorry @Machiavelli , I missed this. In any case, I normally go to a little family run Italian cafe in Putney for a plate of homemade pasta and a big glass of chianti . But it closes in the afternoon so wouldn't have been any good for the match last week. If I eat out before an evening game, it's normally Franco Manca in Putney High St.
On Friday last week, we went with friends to celebrate birthday to Palmito for lunch, which was excellent. I never imagined that a Spanish / Asian tapas menu could work bit it did.

After yesterdays visit..
For veggies the aubergine, the cauliflower and the sweetcorn were particularly good.
For non veggies the iberico pork, chicken thighs and the prawns in seaweed butter were absolutely lush..as was the plum wine!
Went for my monthly visit to Lokal last nightâŚthe âsurf and turfâ offering was a veal and trout with radish starter. Yum

The survey is specifically about New York, but could well apply elsewhere
Why a Michelin star can spell danger for restaurants
They found those that earned a Michelin star were more likely to close than those that didn't â even allowing for location, price and type of cuisine. Receiving Michelin star status "intensified bargaining problems with landlords, suppliers, and employees", according to researcher Daniel Sands â all of which push up costs, combined with "heightened consumer expectations" created new challenges, which made it more difficult for them to stay in business.https://theweek.com/culture-life/food-drink/why-michelin-stars-can-spell-danger-for-restaurants

The article also mentions Berlin, I have seen a bunch of Michelin restaurants go for varying reasons. I have also noted that some are adapting their offerings to get more punters in and many have seats available on Friday and Saturdays which canât be good.

I had a chat a few days ago with someone who was telling me about how their kitchen is a tight run ship and how difficult it can be when punters ask for the blah blah dish without the x and can it be replaced with y. They stopped doing this years ago but it can still lead to a difficult time informing the customer of this.
