Brent... Just Brent 83 Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 That actually sounds like it's on the borderline of being outside of my comfort zone... and I like trying new things more than most anyone I know. I wonder how many people will sign up for it after they see the menu? On another note, has anyone eaten at Jiko recently? I haven't been there in almost 5 years and I think it's time for a visit, but not so sure based on that menu... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
