Every course was top notch, but it was probably the duck and waffle. Perfect dish, it would take me a long long time to tire of it. Definitely on my London list. | ||

First, lunch at Umezushi, hidden away in the railway arches next to Victoria. Beautiful sushi and sashimi, just immaculate, and much less expensive than I feared.[IMG]http://i1376.photobucket.com/albums/ah29/rfbooth/PhotoGrid_146... Then, after an afternoon of looking at cars and drinking gin and craft beer, dinner at The French, with wine pairings. [IMG]http://i1376.photobucket.com/albums/ah29/rfbooth/Mobile%20Uplo...

[IMG]http://i1376.photobucket.com/albums/ah29/rfbooth/Mobile%20Uplo... The ox in coal oil remains one of the best things I have ever eaten. Superb meal, worth every penny. This is why I don't take holidays: so I can do this stuff more. Unsurprisingly, my weight loss for the last week is well into negative figures... | ||

I am a bench-only guy Member 3, 10035 posts SQ 185, BP 175, DL 235595.0 kgs @ 140kgs UnEq Administrator | I definitely will, and likewise Manchester! Back to reality today. Smoked sausage and feta salad for brunch; for dinner, salad vinaigrette with a little stilton, and simply roasted chicken wings. Sriracha mayo on the side.

I am a bench-only guy Member 3, 10035 posts SQ 185, BP 175, DL 235595.0 kgs @ 140kgs UnEq Administrator | Supper club at Claire's of Smithfield last night. [IMG]http://i1376.photobucket.com/albums/ah29/rfbooth/PhotoGrid_146... The soup, the pork, and the desserts were excellent; the crab was good; and the mackerel with gooseberry was classical and tasty but a bit over-cooked at the ends. Excellent, all in all, though. | ||

Eat.Cycle.Sleep.Win Member 2, 12511 posts SQ 190, BP 150, DL 280620.0 kgs @ 99kgs UnEq Administrator | Many many tapas. Highlight was probably a lomo and avocado 'bruschetta'. All washed down with a fair few gruzcampo. | ||

I am a bench-only guy Member 3, 10035 posts SQ 185, BP 175, DL 235595.0 kgs @ 140kgs UnEq Administrator | Long overdue second visit to the Lord Clyde near Macclesfield yesterday. The ten-course tasting menu is advance order only, and of course we did. [IMG]http://i1376.photobucket.com/albums/ah29/rfbooth/Mobile%20Uplo... [IMG]http://i1376.photobucket.com/albums/ah29/rfbooth/Mobile%20Uplo... [IMG]http://i1376.photobucket.com/albums/ah29/rfbooth/Mobile%20Uplo... [IMG]http://i1376.photobucket.com/albums/ah29/rfbooth/Mobile%20Uplo... We got a fig Bakewell instead of their lemon spice because something went wrong, but it was a superb meal, perfect execution and service, amazing food, top-class wine. About as good as anywhere around here, I think. Tonight I went to GBK with a very different friend group and had a lovely pink burger, not something you can get as many places as you could a year ago, sadly. Obviously a very different dinner to last night's.. | ||

Eat.Cycle.Sleep.Win Member 2, 12511 posts SQ 190, BP 150, DL 280620.0 kgs @ 99kgs UnEq Administrator | Had two great dinners in the last 3 days. Tuesday was a nice simple sirloin in a blue cheese sauce and chips, washed down with a lovely Rioja. Yesterday we found a quite remarkable little bistro run by a Spanish/German couple. We started with a tomato, onion, goats cheese and oregano salad and then I had pork loin with calvados caramelised apples and rosemary and butter sautéed potatoes served with a pork jus. Finished with a warm Chocolate brownie and ice cream and washed down with a local white. Really really good. Would have set us back a good £100-150 in London and we paid 70 euros. Best dinner I've had in a long time. | ||

My kind of food.Tonight, because I'm worth it, sirloin, swede, mushrooms, shallots, garlic, lemon, butter .[IMG]http://i1376.photobucket.com/albums/ah29/rfbooth/PhotoGrid_147... The steak was a 28-day aged one, and I cooked it one minute each side as hot as a Tefal pan will go, then another minute each side on low, and a final minute held on the fat. Then I rested it for the best part of a quarter hour. Nicely medium-rare, and not a drip when cut. (The juices on the plate are all from the garlic mushrooms in butter and lemon...) | ||

Eat.Cycle.Sleep.Win Member 2, 12511 posts SQ 190, BP 150, DL 280620.0 kgs @ 99kgs UnEq Administrator | Another great dinner - started with a salad of tomatoes, avocado, various Spanish cheeses, olives - significantly greater than the sum of its parts. Then a confit duck risotto with zucchini and wild mushrooms. Finished with an apple strudel with candied pumpkin and vanilla ice cream. Washed down with a bottle of (bloody lovely) local red. | ||

I am a bench-only guy Member 3, 10035 posts SQ 185, BP 175, DL 235595.0 kgs @ 140kgs UnEq Administrator | Left it very late to start on supper, and almost crumbled and called for takeout. Frittata to the rescue, ten minutes from gas on to table. [IMG]http://i1376.photobucket.com/albums/ah29/rfbooth/IMG_20160807_... Bacon, mushrooms, shallots, spring onions, eggs (obviously), cheddar, and a simple salad vinaigrette. Sriracha to serve. So good. | ||

Eat.Cycle.Sleep.Win Member 2, 12511 posts SQ 190, BP 150, DL 280620.0 kgs @ 99kgs UnEq Administrator | Another great dinner. Started with a grilled cheese with coriander sauce. Beef fillet with chilli jam, sautéed pots and an oxtail jus. Finished with orange and raspberry sorbets. Washed down with a cracking local red. She had similar, all for 70 euros. | ||

I am a bench-only guy Member 3, 10035 posts SQ 185, BP 175, DL 235595.0 kgs @ 140kgs UnEq Administrator | Hawksmoor, for a friend's birthday. It's cheap corkage day on Mondays, so we brought wine. He brought a three litre bottle of Spanish red, making the most of the £5/bottle... We averaged a litre and a half of wine each, not bad at lunch. [IMG]http://i1376.photobucket.com/albums/ah29/rfbooth/PhotoGrid_147... Steak tartare (superb), then I split the burger (with short rib and Stilton) and the sirloin with a friend. Sides of dripping fries, bone marrow, and garlic spinach. And Bernaise. Happy, full, drunk. | ||
