Archistorys

narratives of architecture and design where people and movement meet

The Little Chef legend lives on

How sad to hear of another large helping (67) of the Little Chef cafes to close. To be truthful, the chain has been struggling for some years, and even the fab restyling by Ab Rogers and Heston Blumenthal has not been able to roll back the changing tastes of the British motorist. But the restaurants had three glorious decades when they were leisure destinations and on-trend architecturally. Read about all this in the company of David Lawrence, Alain de Botton, Iain Borden, Laurie Taylor, Sancha Briffa and Richard Wentworth in Food on the Move, available at Amazon: it IS in stock, just look under ‘More buying Choices on the right of the screen. Happy eating and reading!
