I don’t often drink wine with barbecue, but when I do, it’s usually from a Texas vineyard (and with smoked tri-tip from @leroyandlewis in this case . . .)

In the final newsletter of the year, I share a rejoinder from Meathead of @amazingribs on pairing wine and barbecue and take care of a little more unfinished business.

Lunch at @ibai_london

Wow this place is incredible. The hype is definitely warranted!! The steaks are the best in london, all the food was incredible. What we ordered

☆ La Noir de Bigorre Ham & Crisps with smoked piparra peppers

☆Croque Ibai: carabinero, boudin noir and Tomme de Brebis.

☆ Pate Basque with truffle honey & grilled bread

☆ Galician Blond by Xose Portas in Pontevedra, Spain with Beef fat French fries and Anchovy & Herb Salsa

☆ Pain Perdu with hazlenuts & rum

The croque ibai was one of the best things I've ever eaten!! The pate was delicious, amazing flavours. And the ham and crispy was so good, perfect snack with a nice glass if wine. But the star of the show is the Galician blond t-bone, so rare, so flavoursome and incredibly tender, the fat was just incredible. The wines menu is sensational, we got a tour of the the wine cellar, so many amazing wines. For dessert Pain Perdu with hazlenuts & rum ice cream, absolutely quality. You need to try this place its awesome

Two new burgers at @burgerandbeyond London's number one burger restaurant.

First of all, THE CHRISTMAS BURGER
Southern fried turkey thigh, sausage & stu�ffing patty, baconaise, shredded cabbage & brussel sprout slaw, red onion & cranberry jam, demi-brioche bun. It's so good, best Christmas burger I've had in London. The dipping turkey gravy is outstanding.

Second one, PICANTE DELUXE
Our signature dry age beef patty, double American cheese, smashed black pudding, habanero harissa glaze, jalapeño slaw, fermented red chilli mayo, demi brioche bun. Juicy, spicy and absolutely delicious. The addition of black pudding is right up my street. Perfect burger

Dinner at @firestartergrill

Amazing new restaurant in a super pub near Liverpool Street. Specialising in cooking over flames, beautiful food with massive flavour.
The food is outstanding, must order dish is the crab doughnuts and the smash burger is one of the best I've eaten in London. The chargrilled prawns were extremely tasty, the bavette steak and lamb was delicious, perfectly cooked and fulled of flavour. The desserts were equally as good, the roasted bone marrow with lemon thyme mousse was excellent and very unique. And the flame grilled pinapple was incredible.
Overall we loved it and would definitely recommend it
