Vege-might or vege-lite? I’m not a vegetarian, but I do like to dabble with vegetarian food. However, my veggie-friendly sentiments aren’t shared by some of my friends and work chums who, at the mere suggestion of eating at a vegetarian restaurant, will inevitably whine and gripe in the most pathetic, close-minded, macho, proletarian way possible. … 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 »
Beirut burgers and the best chicken wings in London London doesn’t seem to be tiring of burgers. 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 therefore thought it’d be interesting … Continue reading »
Eat, drink and be merry? At the risk of stating the obvious, eating out with a large group is a very different affair from dining by yourself or with a small group of friends. Finding a restaurant with enough covers (in this case for 30 people), that isn’t too expensive, doesn’t have onerous booking requirements … Continue reading »
Less is most definitely more. Good steak in London can cost a lot of money and the area around Piccadilly and Soho is a good example of this rule of thumb. MASH serves up some excellent steak, but at very high prices. Flat Iron is completely different. In contrast to the plush surroundings of MASH … Continue reading »
Piccadilly gets yet another steakhouse If there’s one thing that Piccadilly doesn’t have any shortage of (apart from tourists of course) it’s steakhouses. There’s the flagship branch of gaudy chain Gaucho, an excellent seafood-themed outpost of Hawksmoor and now a branch of Danish chain MASH. Fans of the Korean War sitcom may be disappointed to … Continue reading »
Limited time offer while stocks last! I’m willing to travel far and wide in search of a good meal, but going south of the river can be a stretch even for me. This can be the only reason why I haven’t tried the burgers from Mother Flipper before now. This stand serves up some highly … 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 »
There are plenty of cheap restaurants in London, but low prices and high quality cooking don’t always go together. Although Soho Joe servers up burgers, pastas and a grab bag of other Italian dishes, its main selling point is its cheap pizzas. Soho Joe occupies what was once the site of the Dean Street branch … Continue reading »
The burger restaurant that sticks out like a sore thumb As this blog approaches its first birthday, it’s only fitting that I give my opinion on Meatliqour, the successor to pop-up Meateasy which was the first restaurant ever reviewed here at The Picky Glutton. I was impressed by the labour-of-love burgers at Meateasy, but I’ve … Continue reading »
