[Sca-cooks] Heston Blumenthal does a medieval feast

[Johnna Holloway]

Well he has done other feasts of this type and he is quick to say it is
his interpretation...

But he has other concerns at the moment anyway.

 From the online edition of the NYTimes last week this story where it 
was reported that:

The Fat Duck, which has three Michelin stars and is perhaps Britain’s 
most celebrated restaurant, has closed. The outbreak’s cause remains a 
mystery.
The restaurant’s owner, the celebrity chef Heston Blumenthal 
<http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/people/b/heston_blumenthal/index.html?inline=nyt-per>, 
decided to close it on Feb. 24 after about 40 diners said they had 
become ill after eating there. As news of the outbreak has spread, about 
400 people in all have reported being sickened from late January through 
most of February.

They estimate he was losing $140,000 a week.
