Big chef, Little Chef
http://blogs.guardian.co.uk/food/2008/03/big_chef_little_che...Big chef, Little Chef Rachel Dixon / fast food 01:15pm The Little Chef's Olympic breakfast - truly that of champions. Photograph: Chris Radburn/PA Who'd have thought it? Heston Blumenthal, a chef who has built a career around an obsessive quest for perfection, is trying to tart up Little Chef. He's going to have quite a job on his hands. Still, three hour-long TV programmes should just about do the trick. No, hang on - apparently it will take him that long to sort out one lucky branch of Little Chef, leaving just another 185 to go. Now that sounds more like Heston. It may seem strange that Britain's most talented chef - with three Michelin stars to his name, a multi-award-winning restaurant, and a much-lauded pub - is turning his attentions to a downmarket roadside chain. But give it some thought, and the peculiar starts to make perfect sense (much like, say, Ian McKellen's appearance on Coronation Street). Little Chef has been dishing up full English breakfasts for weary travellers since time immemorial (well, 1958), and it just so happens that two of Blumenthal's preoccupations are breakfast dishes and historic British food.
