- The Salusbury: Youth, Beauty and Italian.
- The Salusbury is the obvious hip hang out junction, where the beautiful, the youthful, carefree inhabitants of this rapidly gentrified part of NW6 flaunt their hide. It is hardly ever empty, and undoubtedly the most happening joint in and around Queen’s Park. On the weekends, it’s chock-a-block like can of sardines, and on weekdays it [...] Read "The Salusbury: Youth, Beauty and Italian." more

- Maybe…? Photo atrributed to Eivind Z. Molvær (cc) I have been dipping my head into various design blogs whilst perusing some of the more sophisticated iPad RSS apps which have the ability to turn multiple news sources into a consistent news resource. Like the Twitter Times for example, which turns your twitter stream into a [...] Read "Uniting (food) Blogs in Print: A Probable Future..?" more

- So you’ve been to every one of the coolest ice cream parlours in town and you need an alternative scoop to Scoop. Well here’s one for your list. Chin Chin is London’s (and Europe) very first nitrogen ice cream parlour. Yes that’s right, instead of freezer-stored ice cream, these guys make theirs by cooling with [...] Read "Chin Chin Laboratorist: Nitro blasted Goodiness." more
- A Grelha at The Gun: More view than food.
- And what a view indeed. Positioned on the edge of the Thames, overlooking the water and the O2 centre in the distance. However, A Grelha is not technically a restaurant in its own right, rather it is a make shift al fresco area of The Gun, which opens during sunny days and warm nights (May [...] Read "A Grelha at The Gun: More view than food." more
- Pacific Plaza: Like a Phoenix of a Foodcourt.
- Food is much more accessible and democratic over on the right side of the Pacific. There is so much diversity, that at times, I find it ironic that the gourmet awakening (of sorts) is taking place in London, where food blogs are as plentiful as fishes, as opposed to the rest of Asia. That might [...] Read "Pacific Plaza: Like a Phoenix of a Foodcourt." more
A dollop of off-the-curb eating quirk to brighten up those midweek blues every wednesday or thursdays or both
It would be injustice if I – as a food blogger – apparently independent and a rebel against the establishment did not blog about these two food gems floating about the internet at the moment.
Show your veggie love
First up is that banned superbowl PETA advertising campaign which had super hot and healthy supermodels parading around and looking like they are having too much fun with vegetables.
I think the idea is copywriting genius and what better way to make vegetables sexy than to pair them up with sexy beings. I fully concur with Jay the gastronaut about the way US media is treating this:
Unhealthy fast food is okay, but vegetables aren’t? What a country! Not surprising, though, given the Janet Jackson fiasco five years ago, which made us the laughing-stock of the world for our Victorian attitudes related to sex. And vegetables, these days, in a way.
Come on, show your veggie love – Now go see the video at the PETA website.
The best complaint letter, ever.
Mr Branson must have spat his tea all over his missus upon reading this complaint letter about the horrendous service aboard a Virgin Atlantic flight. He addresses the letter to Richard Branson and starts off by saying he loves virgin and then references the first picture with the following commentary:
Look at this Richard. Just look at it: [see image 1, above].
I imagine the same questions are racing through your brilliant mind as were racing through mine on that fateful day. What is this? Why have I been given it? What have I done to deserve this? And, which one is the starter, which one is the desert?
Seriously the letter just gets better and better as you read it. The Telegraph has a full reproduction of it here and I implore you to read the whole thing, because it’s really funny. If anybody knows this person – or the author is reading this, please get in touch with me, I will glady offer you a guest blog over at mine – or better yet, I will help you launch a blog because mate, whoever you are, you have a talent to complaint.
