[edit] Victor Lewis Smith's "review"

Come on, this is a bit silly. Victor Lewis Smith is a comedy writer - his "review" of Little Chef is hardly a proper review, any more than Monty Python's parrot sketch is a review of pet shops.

Even if you pretend it's a genuine review, it's completely inane. Little Chefs are located next to motorway service stations, miles from civilisation. They're not competing with Angus Steak Houses (whatever they are) or some eatery in Crouch End (wherever that is, is it anywhere near Inverness by any chance?) - they're competing with Burger King and McDonald's drive-ins. And compared to McDonald's evil breakfast muffins with reconstituted "eggs" (recipe: break 100 eggs, pour yolks into narrow condom, put inside wider condom along with whites, bake for 5 minutes, slice and serve), Little Chef's Olympic Breakfast is a complete gourmet extravaganza. Plus, you can ask for it after 10:30am without the possibility of having to turn into Michael Douglas and machine-gun everyone present.

Some of the other linked reviews completely miss the point as well. (e.g. "my local pub does much better food" - even if I knew where that was, it's not as if I'll be driving past it on my way from Portsmouth to Pwllheli.) The whole point of Little Chef, as a national chain, is that it provides a consistent quality of food wherever you are, even if it's the arse end of nowhere. And as such, in my opinion, it's MUCH better than the alternatives. 217.155.20.163 02:58, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Someone has a grudge?

This is incredibly biased and makes a lot of criticisms without citing any acceptable sources. I think a contributor may have a grudge against the chain. 81.152.72.43 (talk) 04:21, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] How many restraunts?

The infobox says 192, the intro says 186. Thryduulf (talk) 15:47, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
