LONDON: A non-existent restaurant supposedly based in a garden shed briefly became London?s top eating place on travel and restaurant website TripAdvisor, who on Thursday hit back at the hoaxers. ?The Shed at Dulwich?, based in a south London back garden, offered invited guests conceptual dishes named after moods, including ?Lust - rabbit kidneys on toast?, ?Empathetic - vegan clams in a clear broth? and ?Contemplation - a deconstructed Aberdeen stew?.
The menu was accompanied by mouth-watering photographs of the dishes, which in reality were comprised of bleach tablets, shaving foam, gloss paint and even a fried egg rested against a human foot. ?One day, sitting in the shed I live in, I had a revelation: within the current climate of misinformation... maybe a Fake restaurant is possible?? said Oobah Butler, who has a history of pulling pranks for news and entertainment website vice.com. ?In that moment, it became my mission. With the help of Fake reviews, mystique and nonsense, I was going to do it: turn my shed into London?s top-rated restaurant on TripAdvisor,? he wrote.
