What the creator captured
Harrison Webb compared the chaotic, high-pressure atmosphere of the budget-friendly Regency Cafe with the intimidating luxury of the Ritz. While he appreciated the 'charm' and speed of the local cafe's hot plates, he found the hour-long queue and shouting service to be a bit of a headache. He ultimately used a suit and an empty briefcase to blend into the prestigious Ritz environment for his expensive second breakfast.
