Review of An American at Betty's


An enjoyable piece. Definitely very English but that's the point. I've never had high tea explained so brilliantly or deliciously. Makes you quite hungry especially if you listen to it in the afternoon as I did. I don't know why Savvy didn't run it. I love the narrator and her accent. The only thing I was confused by was that it's described as an American at Betty's yet we hear the female narrator and then the male interviewer asking questions in the middler. But that can be explained with a proper host intro. This part essay, part food lesson would work well on magazine shows or as a drop-in during weekend programming.
