Burdock and Co.

Burdock & Co. Menu, Reviews, Photos, Location and Info - Zomato Caught up with a dear friend over Sunday brunch and Burdock and Co. was her pick. Busy busy busy but they take reservations! Table spacing is tight AND the tables are light and not bolted to the floor, so don't bulldoze your way around.

Didn't get a non-alcoholic drink menu right away so ask about it. Coffee and tea available of course but also a small selection of Fentimans.

Risotto ($17) biodynamic aged rice, sunchoke, walnut
  • Looks deceptively simple and therefore can look initially disappointing.
  • Even if you overlook the biodynamic aged rice portion of the item, it is actually surprisingly tasty thanks to the flavourful oil.
  • Portion may seem small compared to whatever your dining companion is getting but it's not very watery so it works out to be a decently filling portion.
  • Not overly sweet, interesting flavour, and strangely very little aftertaste.
My friend had the rather hearty-sized looking chickpea tagine that comes with two wedges of toasted bread. From the taste I got, I felt the spicing of the stew was rich and promising.

Price overall felt steep probably for the popularity of the restaurant but what they do make is tasty. If you prize quality over quantity the price should look okay. Either that or I lucked out ordering the most intriguing brunch menu item.

ChatGPT Can Deliberately Lie to You. Yes, I have screenshots.

I was really shocked to discover that ChatGPT-4o "Plus" Plan can deliberately lie to you. Not just accidentally process data badly and come up with a bad conclusion. But lie to you because of: "Conversational Coherence" "Politeness Bias" "byproduct of how I'm designed to maintain conversation continuity, coherence, and repair" "create a false narrative to cover a logic failure" I've got screenshots but will provide the full transcript/context of the incident below. You can draw your own conclusions. The quoted items above are verbatim from ChatGPT's responses, so you can search to quickly go to the relevant sections if you prefer. NOTE: In the transcript below, I have put in RED selected text which I highlighted for ChatGPT to specifically address.

Trafalgar's European Explorer 2006 memoirs part 3

A picture from my 2006 trip, a Trafalgar 's bus tour, on an itinerary called the European Explorer. I can't remember why I had this couple in the picture, but I do vaguely remember this to be in London, on the first official day of the tour group getting together. Their insistence on my helping them take a picture caused the three of us to be late getting back to the bus. The local tour guide had a "rule" about lateness, that we had to buy chocolate to share with everyone. As it turned out, later in the trip, on at least two occasions, we were stuck on the highway on either a long commute or a traffic jam, and I had chocolate and chocolate-covered marzipan to share. About the chocolate-covered marzipan -- Apparently we were in Austria just as they were celebrating Mozart's birthday with special marzipans wrapped in foil with the famous composer's picture. I'm pretty sure it was Mirabell Mozartkugeln . Anyway, there were enough to go around the en...

Trafalgar's European Explorer 2006 memoirs part 10

The last of my pictures (at least the ones that survived the cheesy disposable cameras) from my 2006 trip, a Trafalgar 's bus tour, on an itinerary called the European Explorer. Below is the obligatory group photo. Not sure everyone's in it, actually. I'm pretty sure this one was taken by the tour director, Mike Scrimshire as I'm in the back row, on the right side.
