Food critic Tom Doorley could be set for a frosty reception this Sunday when he drops in to the Newstalk studio for Bobby’s Late Breakfast.
The celebrity critic was one of the judges when Bobby brought his classical menu to TV3’s The Restaurant on Thursday.
It is safe to say Bobby was very proud of what he served up to a room full of diners and three judges - Marco Pierre White, Francis Brennan and Tom Doorley.
His tasty menu included a starter of scallops with pancetta, peas and grilled lettuce and a main of Dublin Lawyer Lobster.
All didn’t go to plan however - as Restaurateur Marco refused to eat his dessert of Crépes Suzette and espresso coffee ice-cream after Maitre D' John had to flambé the crepes at the table.
Guest critic Francis Brennan wasn't impressed either, claiming “I do not get the coffee. Putting coffee with [the Crepes Suzette] was a mortal sin."
Bobby was shocked – and just a little irritated – to only receive three stars:
Had to go for a 12k run to reflect on my 3 stars in #therestaurant. Note my food hero and cookery books in pic #ðŸ™#🔪#🤔 pic.twitter.com/8sGlGWZhcB

And before you accuse us of bias – it seems plenty of viewers agreed:
@bobbykerr deserved a 4!!! Scandalous 🙈. Looked like the most hands on celeb chef ever. Fair play to him #therestaurant

@bobbykerr That was definitely a 4 star meal @bobbykerr . Comments did not match their rating one bit. #therestaurant

Thankfully, it now looks as if Bobby’s future as king of the kitchen may be back on track - as even Tom seems to have changed his tune:

Tom best be prepared for a grilling - as Bobby has the knives out and will be demanding answers:

Plus, Bobby will be going for a dip in the 40 Foot with the ‘Invincible’ Swimmer Tom McCarty:
