World Steak Challenge 2019
For the first time in its five year history, World Steak Challenge held its annual competition outside of London. The 2019 event to determine the World’s Best Sirloin, World’s Best Rib Eye and World’s Best Fillet and to reward the producers of those cuts for a delicious job well done (or ideally medium-rare I suppose) was in Dublin. Celebrated Fire Restaurant and Lounge was a most accommodating host venue for all the judging of more than 300 cuts of steak from 25 countries. Continue reading

Darkhorse, East Village, Stratford

Liberty Cheesesteak Company: Real Deal Philly Cheesesteak
Finding no satisfaction in London’s “cheesesteak” offerings – or often any resemblance to the mega meaty two-hander sandwiches of Italian-American origin famously from his hometown – JP decided to bring it here himself. Long story short: he ended up having to come up with a recipe for the right kind of bread and even created his own “wiz” cheese sauce. As for the steak, JP was happy enough with already available rib eye, sliced ultra thin for tastiest and most genuinely Philadelphian results. Continue reading

M Restaurants on Threadneedle Street, EC2
It was the last restaurant I visited in 2014 and the first one I’m reviewing in 2015 – appropriate enough for a finish or start to a great year of dining as any I reckon. My late night dinner at M – a newly opened and rather slick two-in-one restaurant plus wine bar combo just a stroll from Bank Station – pleased my palate with a menu full of tartare, tiradito and sashimi selections that didn’t leave me feeling raw.
