The Kitchen Table at Bubbledogs

So we are back in London to finish off our UK tour. We ended our trip in a restaurant that is like a speakeasy at the back of another nice gastropub kind of place where they serve gourmet hot dogs paired with champagne. Reservations require waking up at the crack of dawn once a month […]Read Post ›

Bulgari Hotel London

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not some sort of baller at the Saudi, Chinese, or Russian oligarch level, but I can hang for at least a few days at this level. I’ve been to a lot of nice hotels. When I travel to a big metropolitan city in another country, I like to go all […]Read Post ›

The Fat Duck, Bray…3 Michelin Stars

What a journey this was, it was like breakfast, lunch, and dinner all in one meal. Don’t forget dessert at the end. Luckily we had all day prior to dinner to visit Stonehenge and see our neighbor Sara who was visiting with her family in Bristol. We met them for a quick pint at a […]Read Post ›

Cliveden House..Royal Wedding start point and Andre Garrett, 1-star Michelin restaurant

I know, I know, we are such name-dropping, status-obsessed Michelin addicted whores, but what can I say? At least we’re not in denial of it. I like to see myself as a self-actualized Narcissist. Or at least a Narcissist on the path towards self-actualization. I just need to get all the things on my over-compensation […]Read Post ›

Belmond Le Manoir Aux Quat’Saison in Oxfordshire…2 Michelin Stars

After a quick weekend in London staying with our friends, our road trip to the English countryside was when we really started to feel like we were on holiday. This is an amazing Relais and Chateau property. You realize the caliber of such a place when this is what you see in the driveway. It […]Read Post ›

The Nightjar, London…Molecular cocktails in a speak-easy setting

Ranked the 3rd best bar in the world according to Travel and Leisure Magazine. It employs a strick no-standing policy. https://www.travelandleisure.com/slideshows/best-bars-in-the-world-drinks#9 This is how going to a bar should be, civilized. I don’t like going to a bar and standing in line with all the other peasants. I want to make my reservations 6 months […]Read Post ›

Dinner By Heston. London, 2 Michelin stars

I thought this bit of history referenced by the chef himself will give you a glimpse into the arcane nerdiness this experience gets into. It is never easy naming a restaurant. On this occasion, I wanted something that represented our menu that is inspired by historic British gastronomy, so I searched for a name that […]Read Post ›

The Man Behind the Curtain in Leeds…1 Michelin star

Fuck the world bitches! Blood, Color. Chaos. Ultra-modern. Sleek. These are the words that come to mind when I think back to my experience at the Man Behind the Curtain. Very avant-garde with a kind of sex, drugs, and rock and roll irreverent vibe. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RCrsyZ2IpWI The chef kind of looks like Vince Neil come to […]Read Post ›
