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 ›
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 ›
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 ›

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 ›
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 ›
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. The chef kind of looks like Vince Neil come to think […]Read Post ›
