Noodles for breakfast? I don’t know what I find that strange given that on many a morning when I’m at home (at my parents’ place that is – strange that despite living by myself for more than a decade and being a homeowner I still think of that as home) I’ve been known to eat …
Donuts! And even better, Electric Donuts! This small concession at the Electric Cinema in Notting Hill serves up a limited selection but damn they do it well. The standard donut comes in a variety of glazes and toppings (check the website/twitter feed for the menu each day) and they also do some unique creations such …
Pulled pork has been one of my favourite comfort foods (and it goes great on a burger!) ever since I had the pleasure of devouring my first Smokey Joe’s at Oklahoma Joe’s in Kansas City, KS, on my first real long term away job. Every Friday, the whole team would go there and we’d each …
Whenever a friend visits me in London, we inevitably get onto the age old argument of if the English can cook a decent meal. I can easily argue that there is great food in London, but rarely would one of my defences be a truly British restaurant (barring the Fat Duck which is debatable as …
I’m always a bit sceptical of places in London that sound like Japanese salaryman haunts, especially when they are a chain. Sure, they may be “authentic” but rarely does the food excel and instead mimic the quality of our standard British pub grub. That being said, it came recommended by a fellow Yelper and, given …
Ah steak! I’ve been travelling all over town in search of the perfect steak, and I think I’ve found my favourite. Hawksmoor Air, you did well, but it’s Goodman’s Canary Wharf that really stole the show with an incredible Nebraska corn-fed bone-in ribeye last night. It’s a long post, but there was a lot to …
If nothing else, Nordic Bakery is worth a punt to try the cinnamon rolls. We’re not talking those small over processed things you usually get at Starbucks here. Oh no, these beasts are the real deal and easily enough to feed a family of four. The key to a good cinnamon roll is keeping the …
I have to say it would be pretty hard to put on a better show than Hawksmoor Air St pulled off last night. Thanks to the gracious Linzi M, I met up with 5 fellow Yelpers to partake in a meat feast of legen-wait for it. And while we’re waiting, a bit more knowledge. As …
Hawksmoor. It’s rarely been doubted that the guys behind the two previous locations have been turning out some of the best steaks this side of Argentina. And now they’ve opened a third location just a stone’s throw from Bank station. So what makes it special? A tasting menu and in true Hawksmoor fashion it’s all …
This past Saturday, I, along with 4-5,000 other daring and slightly idiotic souls decided to tackle the first Rat Race Dirty Weekend Challenge. Rat Race runs a number of events throughout the year, the most popular being the Men’s Health 10k survival run in Battersea in early November. Having done that race for the last … Continue reading »
Nida K was back in town after a two week road trip around Europe (some people have all the luck!) and was in dire need of some asian food. Ramen is naturally a perfect choice and we headed own to Shoryu to satisfy that craving. Now, my previous experience with Shoryu soft open was good … Continue reading »
Ah you need something for sushi? Or maybe a bit of sake to slake your thirst? Or perhaps some gummy sweets which you can’t pronounce to save your life? Then Japan Centre is the place for you! As the name suggests, it’s the one stop shop for everything Japanese (food-related that is). No pictures this … Continue reading »
Are you drunk and hungry? Does the idea of a greasy kebab fill you with alternating feelings of desire and nausea? Well worry no more – Beigel Bake to the rescue! To be fair, this 24/7 shop is a good idea at any time but I inevitably only find myself there after a night out … Continue reading »
After a hard workout with the Urban Circuit folk, I was ready for some ramen. Katie B had pulled together a massive group to try out Ribon, one of the only ramen places highlighted by Zoom Japan we hadn’t tried out yet. Ribon is a little confusing at first because the upstairs seems to be … Continue reading »
Dante Fried Chicken. Well, if you are going to pick fried chicken as your raison d’etre, you might as well make it part of yourself. When I first heard of DFC, I thought it was a bit of a joke – you know, one of those things where some guy is trying to big himself … Continue reading »
Yep, it was time for another extreme eating event so the group – a Yelp Extreme Eating Gang After Notorious Offal and Spices (aka YEEGANOS) – headed off to Sichuan Folk for a bite to eat. Our leather-tongued leader had picked this place for the variety of strange and unusual dishes as well as the … Continue reading »
