Grace Dent reviews Rita's

If you love a good debate and like your food, then this event is bound to tickle your tastebuds. As part of this year’s London Restaurant Festival, four passionate foodies will debate a hot topic on the food circuit. The only catch is, they only have 15 minutes each to argue their case...

Part of the 5 x 15 speaking event series, the four foodies - including the Evening Standard's very own secret weapon Grace Dent - will debate the idea 'The More We Look, The Less We Cook'. The critics, restaurateurs and columnists will ask whether too many TV chefs are ruining domestic cooking; literally, are too many cooks spoiling the broth?

As well as our critic-cum-columnist Grace, the others getting involved in the food fight will be: Oliver Peyton, who owns the Atlantic Bar & Grill and runs the eateries of some of London’s most popular galleries including the National; Guardian columnist and author Steven Poole; and the Guardian’s veteran food critic Matthew Fort.

There’ll be no food flinging either, as the Chair of London Food and London’s Capital Growth grow–your-own campaign founder Rosie Boycott will be on hand to moderate the connoisseurs.

With a glut of TV chefs now telling us how and what we should cook, this is sure to be a hot debate. Book your tickets now and don’t miss the chance to see some of the UK’s most respected critics slog it out all in the name of food.

5x15 London Restaurant Festival Debate on Oct 8 at the Tabernacle, 35 Powis Square, Notting Hill, W11 2AY. Tickets are £25. For more information and to buy tickets go to 5x15stories.com
