Not in a million years they won't!

Never say never: Top French chef declares London capital of cuisine | Telegraph Online

I've got to agree that London has improved a great deal lately in terms of innovative cooking.

One thing that bothers me, though, is that they still can't seem to do decent pizza.

Admittedly, things could have changed since my last tour of the city.

He can't be 'proper' French! A proper Frenchman has nothing but disdain for anything British, looking down their noses at Britain is a national pastime there. That's why we've always got along so famously well. :-D

I'm French but I'd choose Rome in an instant.

Also, Countries' capitals are rarely the epicenter of cuisine innovation, I can't even think of a proper parisian dish, almost everything that's renowned of French cuisine is actually from other areas of France, but like everything else French, it if forgotten.

Rome is great but i prefer Bologna if we talk about food

London is great because of all the foreign food available and the vegetarian / vegan options. France will probably have as many veg options around 2050.

Have you ever tried some of the sandwiches at Borough Market? Nothing snobby about that.

having street food available as an option for overpriced snobby restaurants doesn't mean the city is a foodie paradise
