As good as your favourite BIR?

[meggeth]

Just wanted to ask the question to experienced chefs - after all the time and effort over the months/years, would you say that you can cook a dish that is as good as your favourite bir take away or restaurant? If so, what would you say is the most important thing you have learned for you to get to that stage?

i'm not sure that we can say yes fully so will base mine on a very close.

treat BIR as a big jig saw but don't expect ea piece to fit perfectly 1st time - it's only when the're all on the table that they start to slot in.

don't blindly follow posts or give up too early.
