What is happening in this bonus live Off Menu show at the Royal Albert Hall?
Welcome to the Off Menu Podcast, but it's a bonus.
Bonus!
It's a bonus live episode from the Royal Albert Hall, James. It was show two of six at the Royal Albert Hall. The first matinee we did. Matinee?
I hardly know her. Matt and Bea. This is Katherine Ryan, of course. A classic off-menu guest coming back for a tasting menu when she gets given the menu of another past guest. What a woman. What a woman. What a comedian. What a celeb. What a national treasure. Genuine star quality, James. Yes. She got star quality. She got the X Factor.
Yeah.
And that's what you want at a matinee at the Royal Albert Hall. Very happy that Catherine came and did this.
Some of our guests at the Royal Albert Hall had no star quality, James.
Absolutely. Yeah. I mean, we're obviously talking about Nish. Yes. And a little bit about Tim. But like, still glad that they all said yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. There will be some stuff we say to Catherine and maybe that Catherine will say to us that won't make sense because there was a first half in the Royal Albert Hall where we messed around and said a bunch of stuff. Benito's actually toying with the idea of editing some of the first halves of the Royal Albert Hall and putting out the highlights, which I think is mad.
Yeah, you think that's mad.
He says it's his job.
Yeah. You think it's mad? The way you reacted to that was like Benito said, I'm going to go and trawl through a big pile of human shit.
Yes! That's what he said. I feel like in Jurassic Park when they get out the car and they're going to go, we're going to trawl through this triceratops dung. And Jeff Goldblum's like, you shouldn't do that.
Benito's like the guy who lost all his Bitcoin and he wants to go and search the dump.
Yeah, he's exactly like that. Searching the dump for his Bitcoin.
I feel bad for that guy, man.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's just got to let it go, but... I guess at this point, the more that he pursues it, the more he's got to lose if he backs out. Because this is time now, not just his money.
Well, this is the situation that Benito's in.
This is what Benito's in. It's his time and his money, so he's too proud to back out at this point. But he shouldn't edit down those first halves because it will not be worth it. Not for him. We said some funny stuff, though. We said some funny stuff in the first half. Do you remember what we got in the audience? Yeah, we discovered that walking into the audience was the way to go. Yeah. Like Barrymore. Like Barrymore. Shall we listen to Catherine Ryan? Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's so good.
Yeah, okay. This is the off-menu tasting menu of Catherine Ryan.
Welcome to the Off Menu Podcast. Taking the... Thank you. Absolutely heartbreaking if that was the opening of the whole show. Taking Claire Bear's noodle soup of conversation and throwing it in the bin because it's an unhealthy mother and son relationship.
That is Ed Gamble. My name is James A. Kassler. Together we own a dream restaurant and every single week we invite a guest and ask them to ever start a main course dessert, side dish and drink. Not in that order. This week we're doing a tasting menu and our guest is... Katherine Ryan!
CHEERING
Very, very excited to have Catherine back on the pod. Of course, it's a tasting menu. Catherine will be receiving the dream menu of another previous fan favourite guest. Who that will be will be revealed when we bring Catherine to the stage. But let's get on with it, James. Please, welcome to the stage, Catherine Ryan! Catherine Ryan!
Take a seat right here, Catherine. Welcome, welcome.
Boys, in my dressing room, you gave me the ingredients to make my signature drink from my appearance on Off Menu. Yes. And your lovely tour manager from Liverpool gave me the sharpest knife, of course. And... And I've been chopping so many chilies, limes, and it's way too spicy now. I've made like a picante, picante. I've ruined it.
It's disgusting?
Do you want to try it? No, it's good if you're from Mexico.
James, you're from Mexico, aren't you? Si.
Before it's even gone in my mouth, I'm choking on it. It's so spicy.
