Re: Burnt

I work very close to The Langham Hotel and can't believe I wasn't aware when they were filming outside. Anyway, I did not rate this too highly. I find it hard not to compare this to Chef as it is a very similar story of a professional chef redeeming himself, and even though I did not think Chef was ...
