Pat and
Dominique Chapman hosted the 9th Cobra Good Curry Guide Awards at
London's Hilton Hotel just before Christmas before a host of the
great and the good of the industry.
Catering was
from the very slick Madhu's of Southall and the event was filmed for
Sony TV. The rather unexpected highlight came in the form of a short
show from the only Asian Elvis Presley in UK which produced more than
a few laughs.
The awards
honoured the contribution and extraordinary achievements of British
Asian restaurateurs and is the industry's longest established award
ceremony.
