Lunch Time Viewing: Guy Who Made His Shed #1 Ranked TripAdvisor Restaurant In London Tells His Story [Video]

The Shed at Dulwich has become the stuff of legends, hoodwinking the general public with a fantastic tale. Here's the man himself explaining how he pulled it off.

Perhaps you have a mate who started a restaurant or bar, and you just happened to pop a five-star review on their Facebook page.

Maybe you’ve even gone as far as to review that restaurant on TripAdvisor, in the hopes of leading tourists to its doors.

That doesn’t make you a bad person, but you are playing in the minor leagues.

Back in December we told you a little about Oobah Butler, who managed to turn his garden shed into the number one ranked restaurant in London on TripAdvisor, and it really is an instant classic.

VICE weren’t done, though, because together with Oobah they made the entire shebang into a short doccie. It took him eight months to pull off the swindle, but it was time well spent.

Settle in and enjoy the show:

What a ride, man.

I wonder how many #influencers turned up trying to land some freebies for a decent write-up
