French Restaurants (5x3)

Date de diffusion: Nov 17, 2009

Gordon's quest for Britain's Best Local Restaurant continues and this time it is a heavyweight battle of French restaurants. The competing kitchens will both serve succulent foie gras to start, then pan-fried grey mullet and puy lentils go up against a rack of lamb with aubergine tempura. Both will finish with a classic French pudding, crepes suzette. To add to the French flavour, Gordon heads back to second home, Paris, in search of the perfect croissant. And farmer-in-waiting, Janet Street-Porter, expands her farm by helping birth some chicks.
