In previous discussions, Tom has been open about the methods behind his significant weight loss. Tom has also made headlines with his unique take on the classic baked potato, served at his Buckinghamshire pub, The Coach in Marlow.
He faced backlash for pricing the Baked Potato “Raclette” with Sauce Reform at £19.50, showcasing the gourmet dish to his audience and calling it “a work of art”.
The lavish potato, a stark contrast to his simpler beans version, is filled and also topped with ham and cheese, even receiving a light torching for that extra flair.
The post reads: “Have you tried @thecoachmarlow’s famous Baked Potato? This month’s features Raclette with Sauce Reform, and let me tell you, it is a work of art”.
Yet, not all were impressed by the price; @tomcat2183 commented: “£19.50 for that you are taking the p*** mate,” while chriskelly58 remarked: “For £20 it should be … fancy spud u like.”
This culinary controversy follows Kerridge sharing a simple two-ingredient snack he enjoys.
