You know Original Patty Men serve up some decent burgers at the weekend, but did you know they’re now open midweek and knocking out some pretty epic chicken wings? I got wind of Wings Wednesday through a combination of Twitter posts and my pal Chris (otherwise known as The Fat Foodie) who lives for fried […]
I’m always keeping my eyes peeled for the best chicken wings I can find, and I’ve eaten enough now to share some of my favourites. The seven places below are offering some of the best chicken wings in Birmingham city centre, in my opinion. From crispy fried wings dipped in blue cheese to grilled whole […]
I spent most of last weekend eating street food and drinking beer. It was, as you’d imagine, rather glorious. The two day binge eating fest started out innocently enough; grab a burger before a trip to the cinema. Lovely. Of course, being that I can’t be trusted and Ian’s easily led, this quickly escalated into […]
Bodega has changed its menu, and I’m not a fan. Yup, you heard me. My love affair with Bodega has come to an end. A crashing, disappointing end. As anyone who regularly reads this blog will know, I’ve been a long standing fan of this Bitters n Twisted venue. I’ve championed it and defended it […]
I first discovered the breakfast joys of Kanteen at The Custard Factory Digbeth in September last year. Since my first visit I’ve been back around 174805 times for food, coffee and co-working mornings. It’s an ideal brunch and breakfast spot in Digbeth if you’re looking for a relaxed environment to work or socialise, with plenty […]
庆祝. Chinese New Year is upon us today (16th February) and across Birmingham you’ll likely find restaurants celebrating as they enter the year of the dog. With colourful and vibrant Chinese New Year parties being thrown and oodles of noodles to slurp, there’s never been a better day to visit some of the best places […]
January is depressing enough without removing any more joy from it by going dry, so when I heard “cocktails at Tom’s Kitchen” I was happy to oblige. Situated next to Harvey Nichols, Tom’s Kitchen is an open plan restaurant with leather seating and low warm lighting for an upmarket yet intimate feel. There’s also a […]
It’s the weekend again and time to let your hair down/drink away your woes. Nothing says ‘living the adulting dream’ quite like taking yourself off to get mildly (totally) hammered with friends on a Saturday or Sunday, and thankfully there’s a host of places across Birmingham city centre now offering bottomless brunch. Unsurprisingly I’ve been […]
Digbeth is a part of Birmingham that people seem to either love or hate. Over the years I’ve worked in and around the area so have come to know and love a few local spots for food. Below you will find some of my favourite places in Digbeth to grab a bite to eat, all […]
I personally don’t ever need a reason for cake, and I’m always on the look out for places I can grab a sweet treat on the way to and from meetings. If you’re a fan of an afternoon pick-me-up at your desk come 4pm, but want something more interesting than an overpriced KitKat from the […]
