Jamie Oliver: '30,000 napkins a month' stolen from restaurants
in
Media Watch
It's not just table linen that's going missing, either - even the toilet flushers have been vanishing. Have you ever liberated a little memento from a restaurant? From The Guardian You might think that, along with fish forks, silver chargers and butlers, the demand for napkins would have dropped considerably over the past century. But you'd be wrong. Jamie Oliver is today complaining that each month 30,000 napkins are pinched from his restaurants. This is a staggering number. And it's not just the napkins. Oliver had installed Thomas Crapper toilets on account of them looking "wicked", but since the flushers started going walkies he's had to weld them on. READ MORE

Love them or fear them, here's an ironic round-up of some of the world's foulest, tastiest - and yes, stinkiest - cheese varieties BY JAMES BRENNAN | Fine Dining Lovers Some are banned from public transport, while others could awaken the dead, but smelly cheese is loved by many for its nutty, buttery and often mild flavour.

The foul-smelling organism that makes them reek like a cesspool is called brevibacterium linens, which also causes foot-odour in humans. Love them or fear them, here's a round-up of some of the world's foulest. READ MORE

High noise levels have become an issue for more diners of late, and restaurants are heeding the clamor for some quiet. By Tiffany Hsu, Los Angeles Times Los Angele -- You can count on the hippest restaurants to have dazzling menus, stylish servers and an attractive clientele. And increasingly, there's a featured side dish: noise. As restaurateurs strive to attract a younger crowd, they've ditched the pile carpets, soft tablecloths and plush velvet booths for crowded communal tables, clattering open kitchens and pounding Rihanna music. And it's all amplified by cavernous ceilings, spartan walls and bare floors. READ MORE
