More highlights from last week's South Texas barbecue swing. Up next: Vera's Backyard BBQ in Brownsville, about two miles from the Mexican border.

There's a reason Vera is an American classic. The cachete (beef cheeks) are a little smoky and pull into long, sublimely tender chunks. I think I may like the birria (lamb, in Vera's case) even better — bursting with rich, smoky, savory flavor. Fragrant sauces are and tortillas warm from the griddle seal the deal.

A lovely lunch at @estimarzafra @rafazafra_ _ 🇪🇸🐠

If you’re into serious seafood, this Madrid spot is a must. A beautiful display of produce on arrival and an ever changing selection that follows the seasons.

Chef Rafa, also behind my favourite @casajondal, is at the helm here. The snacks and starters were excellent - beautifully plated anchovies, grilled bread with caviar, langoustine carpaccio, and a goose barnacle bite that set the tone.

When the seafood is this good, there’s very little you need to do. But it’s the precision and balance in the pairings that really make the ingredients sing. Much of the cooking passes through the @josperofficial ovens and grills, giving the plates that signature char and gentle smokiness.

Tasty, refined food in a clean, understated setting.

Lunch at @greedysheep.uk @chinatownlondon

Back in my favourite part of London, china town!!
Trying out some of the newest dishes at the greedy sheep. First the chinese beef burger, absolutely delicious, braised beef, spring onions, fresh red chilli in a Chinese crispy pancake. Next a buffalo chicken chinese burrito and some beef grilled beef dumplings. The dumplings to be honest weren't the best, but the fried burrito was quite good. The next dish up was the chicken dumplings with spicy chilli oil, tasted really good. For mains we had stir-fried prawn noodles and sweet and sour chicken with rice, both excellent, especially the noodles! Overall a really enjoyed my lunch, would definitely go back

Riñones de ternera al fino. Empanadilla de foie gras y trufa. Paté de ave.

A Horcher hay que volver siempre. Y no porque tenga una cocina especialmente refinada, aunque sus maneras clásicas me recuerden a la culinaria de fiesta en mi casa. Ni por el servicio, de formas impecables, pero a veces apresurado y algo brusco. Ni por el público, que inevitablemente se ha ido envileciendo. Ni siquiera por la carta de vinos, que se ha empobrecido en referencias y enriquecido en precios en los últimos años. Hay que volver por la magia, por la atmósfera, por esas salas elegantes que colocaban al comensal en el centro de todo y porque, a pesar de todo, sigue teniendo ese aura de gran restaurante europeo. @restaurantehorcher Less

Miku Japanese restaurant is about to open another location at the River Rock Casino with a soft opening on February 17, ahead of its official opening, to be announced in March. Limited reservations can be made online now at mikurichmond.com.
Expect the same level of service and food as at the Coal Harbour location, including well-known dishes such as: aburi oshi sushi, ebi fritters, Iwate Wagyu carpaccio, Saikyo miso sablefish, along with the nigiri and sashimi platters.
The first Miku, of Aburi Restaurants Canada, opened in 2008 and a second opened 10 years later in Toronto. Less

Unveiling a Burger Gem: No Idea in Norcross

Discovering the perfect burger can be an adventure, and @noidea_burger in Norcross is a destination worth exploring. Located on Indian Trail Road, this spot serves up a "very good" unloaded burger that’s both satisfying and budget-friendly. For just $11.50, you can indulge in a massive creation that's ready to challenge your appetite. My version came loaded with four patties, though two would be ample for most burger enthusiasts.

A Contender in Atlanta's Burger Scene
Metro Atlanta boasts an impressive array of burgers, making the competition fierce. While I can't place No Idea in my top five—Good Word still holds the title of Best in Gwinnett County—this should not dissuade you. When Eater curates a burger map or when Steak Shapiro’s Atlanta Eats highlights top burgers, No Idea deserves a spot in the conversation.

A Taste of Diversity
No Idea is proudly Asian-owned, and their menu reflects a delightful fusion of flavors. Their Korean fried chicken sandwiches are tempting, and I’m eager to try one... or maybe two!

Sides That Steal the Show
Don’t overlook the sides when you visit. The corn ribs, paired with cilantro ranch dressing, are a must-try. These grilled corn strips, still on the cob, are seasoned with spices and butter, creating a delicious complement to your burger experience.

Join the culinary conversation and share your thoughts after visiting No Idea. Even if we aren’t talking NFA, H&F, Chez Butter Jonez, this is still a must-visit for all burger hounds!

Here I was obsessing for all these years about “water-boiled fish,” when in reality I didn’t even really know what that was. And the whole time I was really waiting for #maoxuewang , a Sichuan mountain stew that looks at water boiled fish and is like, hold my beer.

Does any of this make sense? Hold my beer water boiled fish?! I think I’ve been sitting in my house for too long. The more time I spend alone, amusing myself by ordering hellfire stews like this, the crazier I become. Am I a genius? Or is my brain permanently damaged by beef organs and fiery chile water. Anyway, seek out this stew at a Sichuan restaurant if you want to get close to the edge. Damn!
