New restaurant in Cambridge? Sticky Fingers.
Derek Knight
There was a report on Look East last week that Keith Richards has opened a
branch of his Sticky Fingers restaurant chain in Cambridge. Has anyone been
there and can they comment on what it's like? Was it a wind up by those
awfully droll LE presenters? Did I dream it?

I think I saw something like that open on Regent Street, near Xerox.

Yeah, it's on Regent Street, where Tatties used to be.

Keith Richards?
I didn't think he ate *anything* but subsisted on Jack Daniels and
expensive pharmaceuticals, so I can't see him opening a burger bar.
Bill Wyman, however, is another matter (cue disgusting jokes about
"restaurant" names and old bassist's proclivities) ...

Actually, it was Bill Wyman - a different Stone altogether. The
restaurant is on Regent Street, where Tatties used to be. As far as I
could tell from the menu it sells vastly overpriced American-style
food for carnivores. I'm not going to go and eat there.
I wish we could have Tatties back. *sob*

I was pretty sure it was Keith Richards, but might have been mistaken. Seems
he had a lot of Rolling Stones memorabilia in his attic and reckoned a good
thing to do with it would be open a Hard Rock/Planet Hollywood type theme
restaurant. Cambriodge will be his third such place (and he's still got lots
of phots and stuff left). Anyway just because he opens a restaurant, doesn't
mean he ever eats there (or at all). After all I buy lots of cat food, but
don't actually eat Whiskas.

Obvious innit. I buy the cat food, open it, but don't eat it. You should try
it. Buy the curry/pizza /tinned tripe, open it (as appropriate) but don't
eat it. Within a short while, like me, you too will have the body of a greek
god rather than being a contender for Cambridge's Mr Blobby.

I see an insidious parallel with Bill Clinton's student days...

I think it's Mick Jagger's, not Keith Richards' place :)
Apparently it opened monday week ago, and did it very quietly too. Q103
was reporting about it towards the end of last week and, apparently, Mick
himself was there for publicity stuff one day too. This past saturday was
supposed to be the real big open day.
I've yet to try it myself but from the reports I've heard on it (again,
mainly on 103) it sounds pretty good. I look forward to trying for myself
in the near future :)

Straw poll: healthy cheap baked potatoes or yet another place to buy burgers?
(I predict a landslide in favour of Old Spuds over New Burgers).

You'll have to watch it now, though. Married life is notorious for piling

Are you alleging that Whiskas is not nutricious?

Probably, if the respondents are residents (as are most of the cam.misc
crowd, I think I can safely say...) - however, maybe not for tourists,
f*r**gn-l*ng**g* st*d*nts, etc..
