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. This time around I was on a tighter budget so, with Templeton Peck in tow most of the time, I decided … Continue reading »
Cow and lobster double vision It’d be easy to dismiss Burger and Shake as a mere imitator of Burger and Lobster. Both serve burgers and lobster rolls, but the two do have their differences. Whereas Burger and Lobster is a spin-off chain of the Goodmans steak empire, Burger and Shake is an independent. The Mayfair … Continue reading »
Fermented cabbage burger pop-up at The Black Heart The Black Heart pub in Camden clearly likes hosting pop-up restaurants and has a thing for burgers too if its choices so far are anything to go by. First there was Mother Flipper, now it’s Kimchi Cult’s turn. Like Mother Flipper, Kimchi Cult is a stand that … Continue reading »

Since my gut-busting 35 burger roundup that finished back in August, still more burger restaurants have opened. Two of the latest, Patty and Bun and Brgr.co, opened within weeks of each other.

I was tempted out of my self-imposed burger sabbatical by Burger Breakout, a new residency inside The Old Crown pub which lies … Continue reading »

One way for an enterprising restauranteur to cash in on this trend is to … Continue reading »
American BBQ comes to Hackney Barbecue restaurants are like buses – you wait ages for one to arrive and then two come along at once. Pitt Cue in Soho may be (deservedly) getting all the attention, but a lesser known BBQ joint called Duke’s has also opened up. Duke’s is located in Hackney near Haggerston … Continue reading »
Strike or gutter ball? Eating in a bowling alley conjures up images of limp, overpriced hot dogs and nachos but the Bayswater branch of All Star Lanes has a surprisingly enticing menu. Wicket, Kangaroo Face and I found ourselves eating there after knocking down some pins in honour of a mutual friend’s birthday. The subterranean … Continue reading »
