Giles Coren and the Freemasons - did I imagine this?

October 11, 2011 11:45 AM

I have a recollection of UK restaurant critic Giles Coren visiting a Freemasons Lodge for a meal as part of a television show. I thought it must be BBC's the Supersizers but I can't seem to find a mention of it on any synopsis and my Google-fu is failing me. Does anyone else remember this and know what it could be? It would make my father rather happy...

Response by poster: Sorry, I should have added that this was at least two years ago, maybe up to four years ago.

Could it be from an episode of Gordon Ramsay's show "The F Word"? Giles Coren appeared regularly on it in 2005.

Response by poster: Maybe, I'll have a look. Thing is, I never really watched F Word which makes it quite unlikely... I was about to say it was because Gordon is too shouty for me, but then I watch his Kitchen Nightmares USA sometimes...

Best answer: You're not imagining it, because I remember it as well.

But I'm not exactly sure which one it was, either the original Edwardian Supersize Me, the Twenties, or Victorian. I've got them all at home, so if you're still unsure by this evening, I'll have a look.

Response by poster: Oh good, I should have taken a closer look! Thanks!

Okay I forgot to reply to this ages ago. I went back and rewatched it all and couldn't find anything, but I *did* find Giles eating with members of the Sublime Society of Beefsteaks in the Supersizers go Regency. Could that have been what we were remembering?
