And some of the worst too For many Londoners burritos are nothing more than a mildly exotic rice sandwich – a lunchtime filler to help them get through the working day. Most will devote little thought into choosing one; the idea of travelling to find the best burrito in the capital would be as alien … Continue reading »
This review of some Las Vegas restaurants is a break from The Picky Glutton’s usual London-based coverage The last time I visited Las Vegas I dined almost exclusively at rather pricey haute cuisine restaurants.
