A scathing review of a Michelin-starred restaurant in Italy is making headlines

From 'frozen air' to citrus foam served in a cast of the chef's mouth, a brutal review of Italy's Michelin-starred restaurant Bros' is getting a lot of attention. Travel writer Geraldine DeRuiter says "nothing even close to an actual meal" was served in the four and a half hour, 27-course meal.

In a lengthy post on her blog, The Everywhereist, author Geraldine DeRuiter outlined her experience over a 27-course meal that lasted four and a half hours at Bros' restaurant in Lecce.

Though, in the post, she said there was “nothing even close to an actual meal served.”

There was the “tablespoon of crab,” the droplets of gelee infused with meat molecules, the “frozen air” that melted before it could be eaten, and the citrus foam course that was served – without utensils -- in a plaster cast of the chef’s mouth. The latter, she wrote, “we were told to lick it out of the chef’s mouth.”

“Some ‘courses’ were slivers of edible paper,” she added. “Some shots were vinegar. Everything tasted like fish, even the non-fish courses.”
