Bloody brilliant telling Colin no other county compares to Cumbria.

I googled Grace because I had never heard her before and at first thought that you was putting Suzie in higher esteem than she already is and guess what,Grace was born in Carlisle so it's no great suprise that she said what she did,if I was born n bred in Cumbria surrounded by red squirrels and lakes I would probably say the same

She's a food critic for the Guardian as well as a 'judge' on Masterchef and similar programmes. She reviews her fair share of restaurants in Cumbria, as well as throughout the rest of the country. See if you can find her reviews of Mizu Pan, the restaurant at the Lodore Hotel, and Bassenthwaite Station Cafe. I have been to both and the reviews reflect my experience at both places. She almost always adds a little anecdote about growing up in Carlisle or about her family who still live up here.
