The Silk Mill Ale and Cider House in Derby seems to be a pretty decent place to stop off for a pint of beer and a decent plate of pub food. They have a whole lot of tasty sounding stuff on the menu. The menu seems to get updated quite often so even since I…
Roasted lemon bay garlic cod – from Ainsley Harriotts’ Gourmet Express
Gourmet Express by Ainsley Harriott was one of the first cook books that I bought, and that I actually used, to cook food at home when I was entertaining. I dusted it off a couple of weeks ago and found inside some forgotten memories of meals that I had cooked for my flatmates when I…
Big Daddy’s Diner – Another Day, Another NYC Breakfast
Big Daddy’s Diner on the upper west side of Manhattan is one of those diners with a big shiny sign that is hard to avoid. I kind of knew that I was going to be selling myself out a little bit when we walked though the doors, but I chose to rise above that and just roll with…
Manhattan Diner – Time for breakfast?
The Manhattan Diner located on the upper west side in Manhattan at 95th St and Broadway pretty close to the subway station at 96th Street. This was one place that we eat at quite a lot when we are in New York as it is pretty close to our hotel of choice (The Belnord), it is very reasonable price…
Guy’s American Kitchen and Bar in New York – Burger with Mac ‘n’ Cheese, Oh yes
“I first came to Guys American Kitchen and Bar the weekend that it had first opened its doors and as a fan of Guy Fieri I was really kind of excited. Ok so I knew that it was a money making joint in the franchise, but we all have to make our cash somewhere so if Guy…
Katz’s Deli and The Pastrami and Rye of my Dreams
Katz’s Deli is a New York Institution and almost untouchable when one thinks of getting a ‘pastrami on rye’. When we finally made it here to sample one of their sandwiches I was kind of awestruck, it is like a mecca, a beacon of shining meat light, and so iconic in mine and many other’s…
Breakfast at Penn Station NYC
Some of my most loved breakfasts in New York have been a relatively simple affair with just a simple Egg Breakfast Sandwich. This particular breakfast spot is at Penn Station at 34th Street in the concourse running between the ACE and the 123 subways and where you get the LIRR and the Trains from to all over the country….
Cochon Butcher – Brisket Sliders and Mac n Cheese….awesome
Cochon Butcher on Tchoupitoulas Street is right next door to the acclaimed Cochon in the Warehouse District. I felt the need to make a special trip to find it while we were visiting New Orleans. I didn’t quite have the cash float to pay for a meal at Cochon so I was hoping to get…
Nathan’s at Coney Island in Winter- Dogs are good any season!
No visit to New York is complete without a day trip out to Coney Island and a visit to the Original Nathan’s Hot Dog stand. Rain or Shine it is a day out that I look forward too. If I am honest it is more fun out of season when there are now crowds and the diners…
Deuce McAllister’s Ole Saint Kitchen and Tap – Best Beer selection in town and excellent bar food
We found some great beer and excellent bar food snacks at Deuce McAllister’s Ole Saint Kitchen and Tap. This ended up being our home base for the trip, where we relaxed with a good beer each evening after wandering the streets of the French Quarter and beyond looking for snacks and places to eat. There was…
