It's frothy, glossy, heavily staged TV, but I nevertheless felt compelled to watch the final episode of the latest series of Channel 4's Remarkable Places To Eat, given that it sees Wahaca founder Thomasina Miers take host Fred Sirieix to taste the gastronomic delights of South Wales.
I could already vouch for the quality of Cardiff's Asador 44, having enjoyed a extremely good-value set lunch there in May, but it was interesting to get a peek into the kitchen and see the purpose-built contraption they use for their trademark fire cooking - and also be reminded of the quality of those red prawn bisque croquetas.
Meanwhile, I'm itching to sample the saltmarsh lamb served up at the Beach House in Oxwich Bay (if it's better than the saltmarsh lamb we have ourselves grilled over an open camp fire, it really will be spectacular), and, given that the Welsh rarebit at the Black Bear Inn is considered a bar snack and costs just £4, it'll be very tempting to sidestep the mains and just order four portions when (not if) we pay a visit.
