Chef Mark Hix bashes modern menus as 'lazy and incompetent'

Chef Mark Hix bashes modern menus as 'lazy and incompetent'. Mark Hix, 63, who was previously chef director of Caprice Holdings - the group behind Sexy Fish and Balthazar - said grammar, style and poise are severely lacking in today's culinary establishments. He in particular singled out the River Cottage restaurant in Axminster, Devon, his home county, for changing his original menu for a special dinner he cooked there.
