Had to make a return visit to @eastonbarbecueco to sample The Colonel (chopped brisket edition), brisket smashburger, and another serving of that splendid hash 'n rice. Chilled and rub-finished watermelon (daily side special) is perfect for a hot summer day, and gooey, sweet bread pudding with vanilla bourbon cream the perfect capper.

A few highlights from my latest Texas BBQ swing. First up: @burntbeanco in downtown Seguin, TX, which I hear has gotten a few positive reviews lately. Line only down the block and around the corner, but thankfully they opened the doors early at 10:30 am..

Thick, pepper-laced slices of fatty brisket, meaty pork rib with a sweet glaze, “El Cinco” link (poblano + pepper jack), and smoked chicken drumsticks plus savory (and not burnt) cowboy beans, “pickle pasta” and delicious pickled okra on the side. Standout bite: El Cinco.

Next up on the Texas tour: an acclaimed Austin joint that I’ve been meaning to get to for a while now: @interstellarbbq. Definitely a strong Austin vibe. On the platter: ribs, turkey and peach tea-glazed pork belly cubes, plus smoked scalloped potatoes (yum!) and something called “South Texas Pork Hash” over jasmine rice. (Described as “Carolina-style,” but we definitely don’t put ancho, guajillo + pasilla peppers in ours.)

The coup de grace, though, was the rich, dark BBQ duck leg confit with a honey-like sorghum glaze.

Standout bite: that duck.

Lunch at @marjories.london

Marjorie’s is a Parisian‑inspired wine bar and modern French restaurant. The space is compact and stylish, split over two floors: a travertine‑topped bar on the ground floor with a terrace and communal seating, and a moody, vaulted‑ceiling basement dining area with an open kitchen where four counter seats offer a view of the chefs. The food is incredible. We let the owner order for us, and this is what we had....

☆ Baguette, brown butter

☆Chicken liver rocher, hazelnut, morello

☆Saucisson, cornichon

☆ Fried courgette, rouille, trout roe

☆ Grilled langoustine

☆ Lamb tartare, spring vegetables, goats cheese

☆ Poached chicken, rice, and brown butter

☆Bavette, egg yolk emulsion

☆ Selection of cheese

☆Mille-Feuille, strawberry, créme diplomat

Wow!!! Everything was delicious, my favourite dishes had to be the chicken liver rocher, a very clever dish. The lamb tartare and the poached chicken, rice, and brown butter (a must order!!!) The wines were incredible to. Absolutely loved the ground floor restaurant, had such a great atmosphere. Would 100% recommend trying @marjories.london definitely one of the best new openings of 2025

Lunch at @jang.london

The restaurant is stunning, on the mezzanine overlooking the royal exchange building next to Bank station. Serving Japanese/Korean cuisine, there is a selection of menus to choose from. I got to try their sushi and champagne menu to start Dana's noodle bar menu for mains. I'd recommend both menus. I ordered the chef selection of sashimi and nigiri, which was awesome, looked incredible, and tasted just as good. Dana's noodle.bar menu is such good value, perfect for a quick delicious lunch. I went for the pork belly topping, and it was incredible. The broth was so tasty, clean, and packed with flavour. For dessert, I had Korean fried doughnuts with salt caramel ice cream, which was excellent too. I'd highly recommend you try this guys

Dinner at @chaterssaffronwalden

This place just gets better and better every time we go. Tucked away in the beautiful market town Saffronwalden. Serving incredible wine, fantastic cocktails using their own made spirts @vaultaperitivo, small plates, and some the best pasta you're find out side of London. Every dish was absolutely stunning.
