Cripes. I only went in for a bacon sandwich.

But after that long in America (and that long on a plane), $12.50 for a small amount of British breakfast really seemed worth it.

I was up for nearly 24 hours, maybe more coherent news will follow.

I'm surprised you didn't wait a little longer! That's... wow. At least you aren't making a habit of it.

I see the phrases "Gordon Ramsay" and "Plane Food" appearing directly next to each other. Did I accidentally wake up in a parallel universe again? I hate when that happens.

I'd love to say that was why his name was backwards in the title, but it was because I saw it that way through a glass panel and thought it sounded like Lord of the Rings.

It opened at the upmarket Heathrow Terminal 5 a while ago, I think that the idea was to show that airport food didn't have to be terrible as long as it was extremely expensive.

We were also in T5 yesterday - but spent less than that on dinner there (although we did just make do with salads from M&S)

Strange just how many people I know were in Terminal 5 yesterday... I met one of my academic siblings sitting in the same exit row as us. Normally I would think the idea of getting even boxed salad from Marks & Spencers inherently mockable, if I hadn't gone into Gordon Ramsay's restaurant the same morning.
