Worth it?

A chef named after a motorway service station is awarded three Michelin stars... I'd like to eat at Heston Blumenthal's restaurant, to see if the effort that goes into the food is really worthwhile. His recipes used to appear in the Guardian on Saturdays each week, and I've not managed to find one yet that I'd like to make - the effort involved is monumental, and I guess he's just too avant garde for my suburban tastes...
