The first time word started circulating on the Twittersphere that a new, independent burger bar was opening in London, serving “authentic West-Coast” American-style burgers, I was mildly ecstatic. I realise that in London the bar is set pretty low for quality burgers, and I was probably being hopelessly naive to assume that anywhere would open to challenge the prevailing mediocre orthodoxy, but I did, I admit, allow myself a short period of frantic optimism. My God, imagine if somewhere actually got it right

What better way to spend a lazy Sunday afternoon than in the pub for hours eating the most delicious Sunday lamb roast I’ve had since I moved to London, drinking hot chocolate with marshmallows and playing a hilarious game of Monopoly with good friends? Here’s a thumbs-up recommendation for Garden Gate in Hampstead for letting us hang about all afternoon and for serving up some awesome food

Many restaurants in Liverpool suffer from what I like to call ‘Tall Building Syndrome’. Not many of them are very tall though, so perhaps this requires further explanation. It was Andy Hayler , I believe, who noted the tendency for the quality of food to decline in direct proportion to altitude – so taking the most extreme example of airline meals, served at 35,000ft and usually inedible, down to revolving restaurants and the like who rely on stunning views to distract from the horrors on the table, right down to basement gastronomic palaces such as Le Gavroche and The Greenhouse who seem to be trying extra hard with their cuisine to make up for the lack of natural light.

Biryani nicely made, is a pleasure to behold and eat! Fragrant long-grained rice is layered with meat or vegetables that have been cooked in a mixture of spices. This has to be one of my favorite foods! With Biryani, it is not just the taste that has me going ga-ga! I love how it is a meal in one dish! My Biryani can be made with chicken, mutton, goat meat or mixed vegetables! My personal favorite however, is goat meat so I’ve used it in this recipe. FServe my Biryani with a yogurt Raita and Kachumbar salad.

Chilled tofu with spring onion (£4.50) A few weeks ago, I’d read on Eat Noodles Love Noodles (an excellent blog written by “Mr. Noodles”) that Keelung restaurant (which I’d enjoyed despite its drubbing by the pros) had reinvented itself as a Szechuan restaurant called the Empress of Sichuan . On the strength of Mr.

At the risk of offending anyone I have to say I find this one of the worst themes ever. I almost feel I don’t need to elaborate, that everyone is thinking “I agree.” Not only is the decor corny and the “atmosphere” non-existent, but the kitchen is usually totally lacking in ambition if not turning out food that is downright bad

There are quite a few dishes that I miss from Australia. Good Vietnamese Pho, really spicy north Indian curries, Laksa, and Kabak Mucveri. Now the latter is a Turkish dish, and you would think that being in Europe (and not that far from Turkey) it would be easy to get, but I haven’t been able to find it, and even if I could, I suspect it would be a disappointment compared to the Kabak Mucveri in my fave Turkish restaurant in Canberra.

TRENT @ Foster Burger (503) 775-2077 5339 SE Foster Road, Portland, Oregon, 97206 Why he’s dreamy: Someone once gave me an excellent piece of dining-out advice, and I’m passing it on to you here, free of charge…When you go to a restaurant that has a particular food item in its name, you should order that food. Then you know that if it isn’t any good, you never have to go back, because if they put it in their name but can’t make it tasty…Well, it doesn’t bode well for the foodstuffs they’re not literally staking their name on

The nomination round for the Best of the Best Chicken Rice in Singapore is opened! This one is going to be a tough one I think, but we will try to see if there is one Chicken Rice in Singapore which has taken over the throne from the legendary Swee Kee Chicken Rice. There are many Chicken Rice stalls in Singapore, so I expect that we would probably end up with at least 5 to 10 nominees.

This Tuesday I realized I had eaten most of my store of gluten-free baked goods left over from my adoption of Karina, the Gluten-free Goddess, so I decided to spend a few hours baking up a replacement store. I made her English Muffins , her Irish Soda Bread , and tried a new recipe for un-rye bread .

I arrived at l’Art du Fromage, thanks to a combination of the dismal weather and the fact that London Transport falls completely to pieces at the drop of a broken umbrella, completely and utterly drenched to the bone. The long walk from Sloane Square in the rain was miserable but at least necessitated a walking pace that got me to the restaurant 30 minutes early, and my first instinct was to find a nearby pub to drip-dry in. In this strange, lonely hinterland between Chelsea and Fulham however, opposite the derelict and appropriately-titled World’s End pub, there really is nothing but bookmakers and windswept concrete estates
