It's no secret I love comfort food. From loaded burgers and footlong hotdogs to gooey mac n cheese; I'm all about the stodge. My waistline doesn't thank me for this love affair, of course, but my stomach is usually quite grateful, and frankly I listen to that more than my skinny jeans anyway. For that … Continue reading American comfort food @ The Smoke Haus

Free ‘Independence Day’ burgers @ Buffalo & Rye
"I could've been at a barbecue!" When I think of Independence Day I find it hard to picture anything other than a baby-faced Will Smith kicking seven bells of shite out of an unconscious alien, but thankfully on Tuesday last week my thoughts were turned to food courtesy of Buffalo & Rye. Announcing across the social … Continue reading Free ‘Independence Day’ burgers @ Buffalo & Rye
Fizz, fun and a flaming hot finale: Foodies Festival 2017
Last weekend saw the return of Foodies Festival, and despite the bipolar weather (I managed to get sunburnt in the rain, a new one even for me) the three-day event in Cannon Hill Park proved to be a success. Seeing local food and drink businesses merge with those from further afield, the festival was designed … Continue reading Fizz, fun and a flaming hot finale: Foodies Festival 2017
Tiny burgers @ Handmade Burger Co

As those of you who live or work in Birmingham all know, on Friday the weather was absolutely beautiful. From the moment I woke up at 7am the sun was shining and Birmingham, once again, managed to look like one of the most beautiful cities in the UK. I decided to get outside and enjoy … Continue reading A trip to Brindleyplace Summer Market
A £10 lunch triumph @ Wildwood
I love a bargain. No scatch that, I live for a bargain - especially an edible one. There are plenty of eateries all across the city centre that offer lunchtime specials, but in my experience many of them tend to shrink down the portion sizes or offer very limited choices. For that reason I was … Continue reading A £10 lunch triumph @ Wildwood
Friday funday @ OPM
One of the best things about (finally) starting a food blog is meeting members of the existing foodie community. At the start of this week I was invited to review a Colemore Row restaurant and was joined by five absolutely lovely ladies, but much to my delight on Friday I got to meet another blogger … Continue reading Friday funday @ OPM
