I'm a London food blogger, I've met Helen and Chris and I've been to the Palmerston, but not recently. Every time I mean to go I make the mistake of looking at the menu at Franklin's too and every time recently I've been swayed by the latter. And not been disappointed. And now I've completely forgotten what I was going to say... It was probably something about there are reasonable points being made on both sides here but that an unfortunate choices of phrases here and there have caused an escalation. Hardly untypical of forum discussions. Still, found a new local(ish) forum, which is always useful. And I may just make it to the Palmerston to see what all the fuss is about.
