- This is the moment a caller phoned into James O'Brien to talk about taking pictures of your meal... and went full James O'Brien on him.
Heston Blumenthal has criticised diners who take photos of their food for Instagram instead of simply enjoying it.
James agreed with the experimental chef, causing Jonathan to call in from Leeds - and that's when things got very entertaining.
Jonathan explained to James that people have the right to enjoy the look of a meal before tucking in and talked about how a Heston meal is all about an experience that hits on all your senses.
He said: "Capturing a picture and sharing it retrospectively, there's nothing wrong with that.

O’Brien’s position In the end is that if a child saying “I’m not that bothered anyway”
Interesting to see James on the away game here, love seeing a caller come in with a reasoned discussion and who can take the questioning!
Admittedly its not the most interesting subject but it is one of the few times that both sides of the conversation are intelligent and their arguments are well founded. Rare to see James taken down, but you have to hand it to him he took it on board and ended up possibly changing his position. Not a common event at all for anyone these days. Now can we get back to poking fun at the imbecils?
It says a lot of someone who cannot spell the word "imbecils" correctly!
It’s ‘imbeciles’. Oh the irony.
It's a shame people still think spelling and critical thinking are connected.
coz it is
@@sarahtaylor7737A typo? It can happen to the bost of us. *best 🤣
Never before have I been so absorbed in such a full conversation.
"I'm performative and obnoxious" his words I couldn't agree more James
I Took photographs at my local brothel whilst I was eating, they weren't pleased and said the dish was getting cold.
By taking that picture you took yourself out the moment lol
Was there a hair in it ?
Sounds fishy to me
Hahahahaha, brilliant
The snozberries taste like snozberries.
Whoever heard of a Snozberry?!
O’Brien is the perfect rich man, hating others that are allowed to enjoy the same!
When the food is put in front of me it's mine, ownership has transferred to me, take a photograph, smother it with sauces, my prerogative.
"I was in the drawing-room, enjoying my dinner," said Brillat- Savarin, beginning an anecdote.
"What!" interrupted Rochebriant, "eating dinner in a drawing-room?"
"I must beg you to observe, monsieur," explained the great gastronome, "that I did not say I was eating my dinner, but enjoying it. I had dined an hour before."
How about that? We finally show a caller on this show I can agree with. Going to his restaurant is no casual visit.
This whole conversation was incredibly boring. I understand the title now.
@Daughter of Enoch Had he not listened to it all he wouldn't have been able to make a judgement. Would you like it if people critiqued books without having read them? Come on, apply just a hint of critical thinking.
@Daughter of Enoch Just doing my due diligence
Glum on GLUM .....
@@hf7iqheh Well the OP clearly didn't find it obvious, otherwise I wouldn't have had to explain it, would I? I understand that the IQ of the average LBC listener rarely breaks double digits, but jeez, you and Daughter of Enoch are particularly special.
@@PJF1981 not like james obrien then.
This guy always looks like he's constipated.
It's the Irritable bowel from all the soy 😁
Omg!!! Yessssss he does 🤣🤣🤣
I suppose that means he's full of ...Poo ?
It's much better to look tense than to look like you're suffering from diarrhoea, especially verbal diarrhoea like you do.
How can you see his face from his voice only?
James O'Brien: LBC's very own self-centered court jester.
Does he upset you because he's right?
Even a broken clock is right twice a day.
@@superginrai8036 if you think JOB is only right twice a day you must be an idiot. Listen to his show and he rips most who phone him up to pieces (normally because they actually don't know what they're on about). My guess you are a Tory voter? Working-class?
@ pete walsh: If you took my statement literally, then you’re the idiot. Yes, I’m working class, which means l live in the real world and not in a pie-in-the-sky Remoaner fantasy land. I believe in the UK regaining its sovereignty and becoming the master of its own destiny again instead of remaining a vassal state of unelected bureaucrats in Brussels. By your last two questions, you seem to think the working class is just a collection of unintelligent gammon. You have no idea how wrong you are. That was proven in the last general election and the 2016 referendum.
That's my Brexit bingo card full. Do I win a prize?
He always looks like he as an hangover .
O brien is gonna have a breakdown soon. Looking forward to it.
He's probably medicated.
You must be a happy man.
Huh, for once I'm on the side of the caller. If as a business you don't like customers taking photos of their meals to share with friends and family because it "ruins the experience" then perhaps you shouldn't be showing of pictures of your food.
I don't fully know the debate but if the meals are different to those in the restaurant I can understand the reasoning to wanting to keep a sense of mystery, surprise and occasion which would be ruined by people taking photos (although yes you could exercise some self restrain and not go looking for them)
He rocks that homeless look though
sure does
The way he keeps fiddling with his beared I'm only glad he doesn't have spots 🤔
At least he looks better than Boris Johnson.
Because he has a short beard or something...?
@@jamessnazell3865 you sound like the uk version of one of those liberal Americans that drags everything back to Trump
O'Brien the 2 rule emperor.
Rule 1, I am always right.
Rule 2; If I am wrong, see rule 1.
LBC's Flashman…….I used to be conceited, but now i'm perfect.
Don’t bring flashy into this
well, you could show where he is wrong?
What a superb caller. Calm, articulate, persuasive...excellent.
Welcome to the school of James O'Brien I'm right not you ..
@@Craig121000 and Google search .. 🙃
Heston’s restaurants have been shut down by health inspectors multiple times...
I highly doubt that lol
You can’t adopt a one size fits all approach to pleasure. One person might be able to relive the experience through a picture whilst others can not.
That was great. Two adults having pleasant disagreement, cracking jokes, and enjoying the exchange. And no-one getting nasty
This was a fun call haha
Why is this celebrated as the pinnacle of intellectual debate between opposing views when its about taking pictures of food? 🤷♂️
😂
I've been listening to lbc radio for a little over a year and I have come to dislike this presenter. Why so sour ? There is an underlying current of negativity in his foundation's and often a slight or slant with a deliberate vindictiveness.
He stabs in an underhanded way as if nobody will notice but people hear it.
I've been listening since 1998, but I can't take O'Brien for more that a few minutes on the rare unfortunate occasions I accidentally catch his show...
Take a picture but why do you have to share it? It’s just a case of “look where I am!” Plums
Dude rocked the argument there. :) I always appreciate that James will stop and go "oh, well, shoot... I do see your point there."
James O'Brien, constant 'SNARL'
just imagine how much worsethis berk will look when he's bald .
Anthony Duvall. James is not a model. Why do you care about his looks?
@@vanesaamillolatorre5 it certainly isn't what he says that keeps people listening
Moronic comment
He couldn't look any worse than Boris Johnson. But sounds better than Boris de Piffel
This is the first debate that I feel James lost completely.
Why wont he debate Sargon?
@@dontdex8221 perhaps because Sargon is an idiot, and his views don’t warrant consideration or air time.
Yeah Mr know it all got a pasting.
@@dontdex8221 Because Sargon has zero value? Perhaps he should phone up under another name, I'm sure he'll get through.
"Don't take pictures of my food."
*Makes TV shows about his food*
I’ll give ya a like for that seeing as nobody else appreciates the irony 🥷🏿🇬🇧
I loved this debate, passionate but not rude, and I appreciate James being so honest and admitting where he might have and might be wrong, that takes a special kind of person, but I think it's also just as much a testament to the caller, because a passionate debate like this that is void of animosity is essential for someone to admit their wrongs or potential wrong like that. I realize this is more than 2 years old now and a small portion of people will ever see this... ... but this is how you talk and debate someone and expand both of your understandings of a subject and if possible this is the type of debate you want to have when talking about important political topics, try not to rise to any bait that is thrown at you, because it is, unfortunately, very likely that they will attempt to bait you into getting made and developing animosity towards them which will only cause them to gain animosity towards you, if you ignore their bait they do not gain any animosity because it is a defense mechanism that they have been conditioned to have due to what they see on the media, which is 90% animosity (well in the U.S. it is at least)
As a side note, I realize that I made it sound easy to not take the animosity bait, it isn't I fall for it *far* more than I would like, but the times I haven't taken that bait I have changed minds on topics, or at least expanded their view and how they see the issue, and while they may not be completely on my side they are closer to my side than they were previously, without going into too much detail an example would be a avid Trump supporter I talked to specifically about the tax cut he and Republicans passed in 2017, she baited me right out the gate, I changed the subject to the why I had my stance, and the statistical and factual information I had, I also appealed to her logic (yes they have that, and thats what is worrisome.) before I left I asked her again about the topic and she agreed that at the very least there needs to be more tax brackets in the U.S. because someone earning 300k shouldn't be paying the same amount in taxes as Jeff Bezos (who was the 'wealthiest' man at the time.
Yes, James normal tactic is to be rude and insulting...
@@cheeseskreist5654 Towards idiots, sure.
he's performative and obnoxious...his words
going after food in it self is insane
Love james obrien but love seeing him getting told at the same time haha
Caller demonstrated articulate, intelligent and persuasive issues that completely unarmed James.
James was no contest, tried to distract the guys thread throughout. He didn't succeed.
Well done caller!
James is so sure about his opinions that he acts genuinely surprised when someone counters those opinions with reason. he said it himself, performatively obnoxious, getting enraged when he doesn't understand someone else's stance. Constant strained face, head in hand. How could they think this!?
Doesn't understand why people would take photos at concert but thinks photographing and videoing pretentious food in restaurants is something worthy to celebrate and commemorate.
You didn't take in ANY information from this video did you?
The caller was definitely on point.
LBC's James O'Brien show would be better served with a static LBC logo and no James O'Brien.
Lol
Oh Arthur, go read some Vogon poetry in a corner somewhere.
@@timbrown4086 🤣
Don't see any issue with taking a photo of the food to appreciate the experience.
James said that unintentionally he has a photo of the meal his had with his other half on their anniversary. Maybe today he feels no need to have that photo, but what about it ten years' time? Smells and tastes often stay with us for life; just the other day a woman pushed past me on the bus and I got a noseful of her perfume, identical to one an girlfriend of my youth would wear and it whisked me back 30 years in a flash. I'm sure many of us have felt transported in time on tasting something from our childhoods. So in ten years' time, that accidental photograph of a meaningful and pertinent moment in his life could vibrate with emotion and sentiment.
Great observation!
Some of the best meals I remember happened long before the internet and phone cameras. I wouldn't dream of photographing my dinner in a restaurant. You don't remember anything any better.
You could literally forget any number of ingredients in a meal, items which would appear in photos. If someone treats themselves to a luxurious meal they have a right to photo it before they eat it. They have a right to take it home, to throw it away, to send it back. They have the right to sit and stare at it for an extended period of time, as long as its during business hours, I would imagine.
@@LukeMcGuireoides I have aphantasia. I literally cannot remember it without a photo.
Back in the old days, they spent hours painting their meals 😜
James outclassed for once. Enjoyable. :-)
Blumenthal is only concerned his ideas are being copied. If I'd paid what people do for these dishes, I'd take a picture too. Aren't experiences for sharing.
Taking photos of food, standard practice in Thailand. Also helps with Google map reviews. 🤯
Standard practice among true food lovers everywhere, from what I've seen. People in Thailand are serious about their love for food. If it's going to go inside your body, you should be allowed to document it 😂
No one complained about photo taking when we had film cameras 🤷🏼♀️
I would love to see Charlie and the chocolate factory with gene hackman.
Oh right !
Gene Hackman
Gene Wilder.
This video of James ‘losing’ an argument is precisely WHY I like him - he’s willing to lose the argument if someone can make their case effectively enough. He doesn’t see it as losing an argument, he see it as developing his understanding.
Gawd. That's one customer.

Is the caller Jonathan of “Jonathan and Charlotte” who were runners up on Britain’s Got Talent one year?
I love that everyone has a problem with what you say i don't but oh my you have a lot of people watching
Disconnects them from the moment?? They want to capture the moment....not disconnect from it.
The thing with James O'Brien I have come to learn over the last year is that he is the quintessential champagne socialist
@Jonny ward Socialist by definition do not believe in personal wealth or positions of authority for the few rich individuals who by the nature of their privileged upbringing have an advantage over others - boarding school and as a consequence LSE uni can be argued as a privilege for the elite. It is impossible to be rich and a socialist, as a true Socialist would out their wealth into the hands of the collective for the benefit of the collective. Get a dictionary and look up Hypocrisy
@Jonny ward lol you can also believe in Santa Claus, it like socialism is also widely encouraged in school by liberals
@@JG-fg1ye superb strawman, buddy.
You called JOB a socialist, then said he isn’t a ‘proper’ socialist because he has money.
Maybe, just maybe, he isn’t a ‘socialist’, he just cares about other people?
Yeah, this is very funny. Simple name calling, then eventually they get riled enough for a full conspiracy theory. Excellent!
@@timbrown4086 You can't read ... its taken you 2 years to respond to a comment so i will make it simple...I call JOB a Champagne Socialists and stated those are Hypocrites, therefore JOB is a hypocrite and not a real socialist....read my posts again and maybe you will follow logic
You've paid for the meal. Do whatever you want with it.
See? If you give this man a rational argument, he listens. Now if they could stop filtering out intelligent Right Wing callers during more political topics... jk 8P
Haha intelligent and right wing? They don't go together 😂
@@boahnation9932 Left-wing people can't even define what intelligence is.
The first time an intelligent right winger rings in they will probably put them on. But until that day...........🤨
I always take pictures of nice dishes when I eat out and if the chef doesn't want me to take pictures, then he can pay bill so that he has some right to tell me how to enjoy my experience.
The day I take a photo of food is the day I’ve taken a cerebral turn for the worse.
Photographs are an intrisic part of memory
yes James still squints badly to this day, he still hasn't discovered opticians, obviously he doesn't squint enough as he walks down the High Street.
Agree with the caller but why have a conversation about this?
Although living behind the lense of a camera takes the essence of life away!
🤣🤣🤣
Who takes food this seriously?
Millions, in every part of the world.
What an excellent argument!
Doesn't matter what the chef wants. When that plate arrives in front of ME, it's MINE to do with as I please.
He still a punt.
People take photos of weddings and children's birthday parties, are the "disconnected from the moment"
Some people will argue over the colour of 💩
Brilliant. That kinda, it almost comes across as snobbery, falls flat
If enjoying your meal to the fullest means you've got seconds after it's cooked to enjoy it, I'd say thats more a problem with the meal than whatever you're doing.
Some people like to do it,some don't like to do it,can't see any problem with people wanting to do it.
Now we know what happened to cabbage-patch dolls.
I take photos of my food to promote veganism.
You enjoy a meal four times...First with your eyes, Second with your nose, Third in the eating and Fourth in its memory. A phone pic is just a better way or recalling #4.
Look at my outrage face. I'm James O'brien I'm so pained.
When the best debate is over the most senseless topic. If only James had such articulate people to speak to on other matters.
Going to a restaurant and spending all the time on your phone, I get that. It’s very annoying. But just getting one or two pics so that you have a memory of what could be a special occasion? Don’t see anything wrong with that.
@1:58 thought that was opposite side of the peas!
I work on a building site. A mate of mine took a photo of what he did in the toilet. You sure filled that up I said.
Edit
There was a man fro Australia
Who painted his house with a dahlia
Colours looked great
But the smell was an absolute failure.

Wow, it’s all just so…….civil!
Got your celebration ready yet for the end of the week James? Or are you still moaning?!
Brian, I must say you are pushing your opinion and justification on to everyone else. Some like to take picture for various reasons (I don't do it but happy to see other do it if it make them happy and enjoy their meal or for what ever reason) and that is the point you failed to comprehend and not accepted the right of their entittlement. This is an example of over reached.
Well observed: but you’re no Sherlock as his actual job as a talk show host is to pose questions, push, challenge, cajole, and be contrary for entertainment. You need The Archers if you can’t handle conflict.
Finally! Brilliantly said!
He didn't go James O Brien. He didn't bully or shout him down
James takes a (very) rare defeat in fine spirit
a little gem here
Everybody knows you never go full Jimbob.
This is what happens when people become fed up with career journalists.
He had his heart set on working at the BBC as a talkshow/news presenter. If you think his radio work is bad check out those miscarriages.
What is a career journalist? Is it a journalist?
I’m with James on this one. I went to York a few years ago. And there was a no phones policy in the pubs which I only found out on the first pub I visited and instantly got it and loved it!
I'm all for places having such a policy, but if phones are allowed, people must be allowed to photo any consumable items, any at all with some exceptions, of course
But were cameras banned?
Sam Smiths pub? Sounds like Tadcaster?
James outclassed for once. Enjoyable. 🙂
O'Brien.. the man who's book was titled ( how to be right )...then predicted labour would win by a landslide

O'Biren is a joke.
Please link where he made that prediction, I've not seen that.

When did he ever predict that, he is very anti-corbyn
Captivating
Some very valid points.
I went to the fat duck with my wife about 4 years ago. Absolutely disgusting. The most expensive meal we have ever had and the worst meal we have ever had. Style over substance
Doesn't understand why people take photos at concerts; however, takes photos of cuisine for 'the moment' - lost his own argument.
He thinks heston is hypocritical yet his argument applies 100% to the case of being at a live music event.
There is a subtle difference. It takes a split second to take a photo of a meal, and then enjoy it. People going to gigs and concerts will very often spend long periods of time filming them, and so are not present in the moment.
Taking a quick photo of food doesn’t really bother anyone. Filming a live music event can often be distracting for the other people attending.
He listenes to you and worked out how to beat you.
How is this a conversation (let alone a debate)? If I am discrete, there should be no issue with me talking a photo or video of my meal.
Amazing what can happen if you let people speak an don't badger and interrupt them.
If I'm paying for it, it's no longer his food. It's mine do with as I please
This caller isn't right - if you're taking a photo of food, you're not in the moment. Thus you can't enjoy the experience so much. You're already removed from it. (But if you want to do that, then go ahead!)
