Wasabi Teppenyaki - Granary Wharf, Leeds

With all the recent interest in the Granary Wharf project it seemed rude that we hadn't tried one of the stalwarts of the area Wasabi Teppenyaki.

The Hop - Granary Wharf, Leeds

I’d been looking forward to this opening for a while now and so being given the chance to pop down for the official opening was all the excuse I needed to go out on a school night.

Speck Rendena, Salame di Capriolo - Madonna di Campiglio

The Lady has done me proud, after neglecting me for a week to go Skiing with her folks she has brought back a wealth of treats from the Italian Alps around Madonna di Campiglio.

Quiet Weeks...

I've been very slack this week, I've not eaten out and been mostly abusing my body in one way or another.

You could have guessed it but the lady was on holiday so I've been eating a lot of Pork in it's many glorious forms and partaking in a few after work drinks.I've managed to get through 4 Pizza take aways from Pitza Cano in 7 days.

So It feels like i'd reverted into my old bachelor ways for a short while. Normal service will resume in a few hours though as the Lady is on her way back and I can't wait to see her.

Top pick from the week just gone is Arcadia in Headingley for it's fantastic selection of beers, the great atmosphere and the fact I can stumble home quite easily from there. Expect a proper review soon.

The Ten Bells, Shoreditch - E1

Not many bars get on here and I go to a fair few, so this is one to check out. It's frankly a shit hole, it's too busy, it's too dark and too loud.

It's frequented by Shoreditch wankers, strange international students drinking Absinth and quite a few of the old east end faithfull that didn't leave when the twats moved in. But I love it, always fun despite all these things.

Bradford Beer Festival 2010 - Victoria Hall, Saltaire

This past weekend marked the annual Bradford Beer festival in Saltaire’s Victoria Hall, it’s pretty much tradition now for us to descend upon the quaint village and make the most of the beery hospitality whilst it’s there.
