Are there any chefs out there who regularly use braising as a technique in their restaurant kitchens? I've looked at quite a few menus where I expected to see it, but all I'm seeing are grills, pan-fried dishes, confits and the odd stew. It's (potentially) for a thing. Thanks.

There are several dishes that are immediately recognisable as The Freemasons, and this is one of them. Lancashire Cheese Hotdog, with Proctor's Kick-Ass Cheddar, crispy onions, gherkin ketchup and truffle mayonnaise. Delightful.
