Let me start by saying this. I f*cking love Lisbon. I am flying that Portuguese flag, high. I’m considering wearing one on my back, like a cape. Lisbon has everything. EVERYTHING. Now I love Lisbon so much that I will soon be writing one epic blog post on what/where to eat/drink/see/do. In the meantime I’m…

What makes a good burger? Soft bouncy bun, the kind that doesn’t tear at the slightest prod? Juicy medium rare patty, with a specific meat to fat ratio? Gooey cheese, salty and generous enough to drape over the lettuce, but not so much that it takes over? And so it goes on. You know what…

Are you one of those people loitering around the bakery section of the supermarket? I am. I can’t resist the smell of freshly baked bread. If you’re into that sort of thing too then you must get your ass down to The Joint in Brixton, South London. The Joint is well known for being one…

*This post first appeared on The Guardian Online Every Saturday morning, I set out on my London Marathon training run. Every Saturday morning, I fall flat on my face. Sometimes I slip on a wet drain cover. Sometimes I slip in mud. Sometimes I slip on soggy leaves, and sometimes I slip in dog shit….

How much do you think is too much to spend on a burger? A tenner? Fifty quid? Last week saw some write ups of a crazily priced US$250 burger at Beer and Buns in NYC, filled with caviar, foie gras, kobe beef and truffle. Even if I had that cash to splash I wouldn’t over…
