I finally made it to Potbelly in the southside. From their amazing Instagram pictures and glowing reviews from friends I felt like I was missing out. The hot cakes did not disappoint, but they were almost too pretty to eat.…
Poke at Platform
Platform has become one of my favourite haunts in Glasgow. It’s only open over the weekend, but I enjoy walking there with Indie, getting a beer and eating from the stalls. Unfortunately I’ve only seen the Mana Poke people once (some of the stalls rotate), which is disappointing as I fell in love with poke since trying it in California.
Errol’s Hot Pizza
I’m realising most of my blog is food pictures. I’m OK with that. Errol’s Hot Pizza is a new spot in Glasgow’s South side. The theme is very 80’s, there are only a few tables and the pizza is very, very tasty. 10/10.
Mesa
Simon, Gregg and I visited Mesa for lunch. It’s in the East end of Glasgow, which I don’t frequent very often. The reviews are great and both the coffee and food lived up to the hype.
Italian Hotdog
Met up with my NEW FRIEND (yes, in my 30’s and still making new friends), Ashley, for lunch. We had hotdogs at Taphouse in Finnieston. The Italian hotdog was delicious.…
Honu
I had the most delicious lunch at Honu on Dumbarton Road. I had the broccoli tempura poke bowl and vegetable gyoza. All of the food was so colourful! I can’t wait to go back. Wanna come?
Visiting London For Fun
After speaking in Nottingham at New Adventures, I went to London for the weekend. I had a meeting on Monday, but decided to, y’know, do London just for fun for a few days.
I invited Brittany with me. We ate lots of food (can’t stop thinking about the mac and cheese at Camden Market), had lots of drink (half pints of Camden Hells), walked all over the city and visited Bram Stoker’s house. Win!
Handpicked Rhubarb
My friend, Ayden, moved into a proper grown-up home with a garden. The previous owner has planted lots of fruit and vegetables, so I took some rhubarb home. I haven’t had rhubarb since I was a kid, which I used to dip in sugar. My metabolism wouldn’t forgive me for that now, so I just boiled it and washed it down with black coffee. It was a tasty breakfast!
Americano and Apple Tart
It’s been almost a year since I visited Cottonrake Bakery, despite finding myself on Great Western Road often. On Saturday I returned with my friend, Rab. It’s a lovely spot for fresh cakes, but make sure you visit early—they usually sell out.
Dessert Pop-up Dulce
Wow, I had an amazing time at Helen Vass‘ Dulce, a dessert pop-up. Seriously, I can’t sing Helen’s praises enough and I’m going to keep my eye on Dulce returning in the future. I’ll let the pictures do the talking (not that they can convey how delicious this was).
