Lucky Chip was worth the wait!

Last week saw me finally get around to eating at Meat Liquor and yesterday I finally made it to Lucky Chip. And after just one bite I was kicking myself that it had taken me so long – because Lucky Chip’s burgers are something else!

Is London’s best Pizza served on the street?

In London the street food scene is pretty impressive at the moment, there’s a lot of people out there serving up great tasting food at really great prices. Even with the quality food that’s out there, occasionally I still get surprised with just how good some of the food really is. And earlier this week when I was down at ‘eat.st at Kings Cross’ I was blown away by a seemingly simple slice of margherita pizza from Homeslice.

Eat My Pies on Broadway Market

What’s the old saying “the best laid plans, often go awry”? Well that was the case this weekend when I headed out to London Fields in Hackney to check out Lucky Chip at Netil Market and their fantastic sounding burgers.  But it wasn’t meant to be, as just as I arrived I was told they’d run out of meat and would have to close until they could get a delivery from their butcher!

So still hungry I decided to head down Broadway market, just a few minutes away and see what street food was on offer.  And it turns out, quite a lot!  There was a great choice including Vietnamese Banh Mi baguettes from Banhmi11, Vietnamese Coffee from Ca Phe VN, or Ghanain stews from Spinach & Agushi.  While I’ll definitely head back soon to try all of these, this time I decided try a bit of British street food, albeit with a bit of a twist, from Eat My Pies.

Coffee Training with Union Hand-Roasted

This is of course a blog dedicated to street food, but I love food and drink generally, so occasionally I will post something not strictly about street food.  Today’s post is one of those.

I don’t know about anyone else but when I think about great coffee my first thought isn’t an industrial estate in East London. But that’s where I found myself this past weekend when I was invited to take part in a Roastery tour and mini barista training session with Union Roasted Coffee.  But i’m also on a bit of a coffee kick at the moment (I was a late convert having only really started drinking it in the last year) so I figured a trip out East would be worth it

Big Apple Hot Dogs

I can’t think of a better way to kick off this new blog than with the best hot dog i’ve ever eaten.  Located at the top of Old Street, Big Apple Hot Dogs are serving up delicious uncomplicated food.  Nothing fancy here, just perfect street food.  We’re not talking the bland, pretty pathetic excuses that Supermarkets sell as hot dogs, but proper meaty hot dogs that taste fantastic.
