Jay Rayner

Jay has been the restaurant critic for the Observer for over 15 years, written reviews of well over 700 establishments, and if there is one thing he has learnt it is that while readers like reviews, what they really love is reviews of bad restaurants.

They adore them, feast upon them like starving vultures who have spotted fly-blown carrion out in the bush.

In 'My Dining Hell', Jay examines our love affair with lousy reviews, rants about his most hated restaurant fads, lists his most excruciating nights out and – just to balance things – reads from the worst reviews his own work has ever received.

Jay returns to Acapela after his hugely successsful 'Ten Food Commandments' show in June 201, don't miss the next course of this food extravaganza!
