The creator said he was a little concerned that he wouldn’t look fashionable enough, but when he arrived he was treated like an “important person” and escorted to a table by a fleet of employees.

Sitting at a table that was “half inside, half outside” in the 50-seat restaurant, Jacob described the interiors, saying, “It really reminded me of a grandma who lived in Italy, who had like $100 million, and you ate in her backyard.

“Something about it really reminded me of old ladies.

“There was Gucci furniture in the restaurant and I saw that everyone who worked there was wearing Gucci sneakers.”

Speaking of the food, Jacob said he was given a “welcome gift” in the form of a bread selection. Items included a croissant with truffle butter and some more bread with honey butter and ricotta cheese “with some pepper on top.”

As the first course of his tasting menu, he was then given a salad called ‘Spring is Here to Stay’.

The mix consisted of fennel, sturgeon, asparagus and nori (dried edible seaweed).

Jacob gave his assessment of the course and said: ‘There was sturgeon in it, and I actually had to google what that is. If you’re going to eat that kind of fish, you should Google it before you eat it because it’s the kind of fish that grosses me out so much.

‘With the salad they gave me taco-like things and they told me you could use that to put in your salad… but I ended up grinding it into the salad to make it crunchier.

‘Certainly not the usual salad I have, but I did enjoy this dish. It tasted like lemon and had little bits of a creamy cheese in it, which was nice.

“It was good. Did it remind me of Gucci? Not necessarily, but it did remind me of fancy human food.”

For the second course, Jacob had a seafood salad with seasonal vegetables, which he said was his least favorite dish.

He mused, “It didn’t look edible to me… but I appreciated its uniqueness. I just didn’t like the taste that much, but I finished it anyway ‘of course I still liked it.’

After a disappointing second course, Jacob said he was excited about the next offering: a 'risotto disguised as pizza'

After a disappointing second course, Jacob said he was looking forward to the next offering: a “risotto disguised as pizza.”

He explains that chef Mattia Agazzi was inspired to make the top of the risotto look like pizza, and the waiters told him to try each color (red, white and green) separately before mixing them up.

His expectations did not disappoint, and Jacob said the risotto course was “delicious” and that he would have eaten “four times as much as the portion they gave me.”

Before Jacob continued eating, he went to the bathroom. He described it as “luxurious” and “very spacious,” with a chair in the corner.

Back at the table, Jacob ate his last savory dish: Milanese cod with a tomato terrine from the farmer’s market.

Jacob described creation as “basically fish battered and fried.”

So he said, ‘This couldn’t possibly be bad’ and it ‘gleamed with greasiness’.

Like the risotto, he found the cod “delicious” and “cut off a piece of the fish with each bite and added some of the tomato mixture.”

Jacob’s menu concluded with a dessert called ‘Charlie Marley’, which featured chocolate, hazelnut and wild rice.

He commented that the presentation was “cool” and that its tower-like shape reminded him of a building.

As a ‘farewell gift’, Jacob received ‘a fruit gummy and a chocolate circle with salt on top’.

Overall, Jacob seemed pleased with his luxurious lunch, with ‘very attentive’ staff and good flavours.

But, he said at the end, despite having spent the most he’d ever spent on lunch for himself, he was “still not full.”
