Last night I celebrated Friday the best way I know how: slurping beer surrounded by meat. To put this into some kind of context, I attended Digbeth Oktoberfest at The Old Crown, which saw the beer garden transformed into a Bavarian themed bar packed with tasty food and beer galore. Offering an array of theme-appropriate food… Continue reading Oktoberfest @ The Old Crown, Digbeth
If there's anything that's likely to woo me more than a solid 8 hours sleep these days, it's a good burger. Don't get me wrong, I like some fine dining every now and again like most people, but very few things bring me the same level of joy I can find in a big, juicy… Continue reading Badass big burgers @ The Old Crown
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
"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
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
Before I dive in to this post I should say from the off that I appreciate going to a burger place and attempting to be healthy is a bit redundant. But, in my defence, I've been to Handmade Burger Co before and eaten like a beast, so I'm more than aware it's usually reasonable in… Continue reading Tiny burgers @ Handmade Burger Co
Unless you've been under a rock for the last two years you'll probably be more than familiar with Birmingham's branch of BrewDog. Settled in the heart of John Bright Street - now one of my personal favourite areas for a tipple and a casual bite to eat - BrewDog is of course part of the… Continue reading BrewDog gets a revamp
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
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
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 Colmore 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
