• What’s the weirdest business experience you’ve had so far?
“Arriving at a late-afternoon business meeting only to realise after ten minutes that the other person was completely inebriated. It wasn’t a long conversation.”
I’d just like to point out that Walid and Sokratis weren’t talking about me there. I try and keep my inebriation confined […]
Never one to miss the chance to make new friends and catch up with some old ones I nipped along to the Camel and Artichoke near Waterloo last night. The upstairs had been taken over by bloggers for the evening so it was a good chance to mingle and bend the ears of the likes […]
Despite there being no actual food in this photograph I just had to share it because it seems to sum up London so well: The rain, the bus and the sticker.
London gets a hard time because of the weather, but come on, it doesn’t rain all the time. And is there anything better than warming […]

We like to keep things as relevant and accurate as possible on TrustedPlaces so when I noticed that my review of Coffee@ on Bermondsey Street in SE1 was a tad out of date I popped back in and amended things. I had complained that it was a shame such a great place charged […]

Elsewhere you may see this year’s list of Michelin stars described as unexciting […]
Following on from last week’s eggy horror it seemed only fair that I find something a little more pleasing.
We all know that cake is important and cup cakes are like small bundles of love so thanks to Gaetan Lee for posting his Cake - Food porn on Flickr under a CC licence so we could […]
There’s an interesting interview with Alan Yau over on Bloomberg this morning. In it he reveals plans to update fast food right here in London:
He won’t say what kind of food he is talking about, other than using the phrase “healthy Asian” at one stage. Even then, he says his aim is to divorce […]
I quite like the idea of pointing to someone else’s table and saying “I’ll have what they’re having” and then being brought the same dish. And I mean exactly the same dish:
US farmers have been given the green light to produce cloned meat for the human food chain. In a 968-page report billed as a […]
As promised we went along to the 4th Annual Russian Winter Festival in Trafalgar Square last weekend and shot some video:

Excuse the shaky camera work, but the odd shot of vodka to keep out the chill seemed somehow appropriate
The crowd was enormous and people seemed as interested in the food stalls […]
