Something was in the water this week! Lots of opportunities coming up, and I had a few interesting meals — The Butcher for burgers, grasshoppers and karaoke with the managing director of Mango Tree, and finally getting over to review Reif Japanese Kushiyaki. This weekend we’re going to the Edition Abu Dhabi to meet Tom Aikens at the Oak Room, and then I’ll give my Food for Thought presentation on Saturday. I did even get to the gym most of the week, and recorded a voice-over for the radio.
- Bless us, O Instagram (worth reading).
- Some more praise for the ‘St. Louis bagel.’
- A weirdly soothing series of videos recreating anime cooking in real-time.
- Food brands helping the fight against hunger.
- Have you heard of moon cheese? (I want to try some!)
- Apple cider prosecco spritz.
- Restaurant Day in Helsinki sounds super fun.
Next week I have plans to go back to Bull & Bear, and really, and am just waiting for what else pops up! I’m still going to try and keep my dining out limited, but we’re getting into the season where that becomes increasingly difficult.
