Chris Osburn
Londonist
December 4, 2008
... prolific street artist Sickboy stepped up to the challenge of wowing London’s jaded art mob with his first major solo exhibition- an exhibition that’s as defiant and provocative as it is fun and vibrant.

Outsider Tart Yumminess!
Yesterday I reported for Londonist about Outsider Tart's delicious baked goods (and by report I mean raved). See below for a link to that post. I'm also happy to confirm that my cats, Marmo and Sandokan, gave Outsider Tart's homey treats their seal of approval.
Walnut Brownie Chunk Cookie Goodness from Outsider Tart

December 3, 2008
Happiness is a walnut brownie chunk cookie. Don’t believe us? Here. Have a bite of ours and check out its makers: the “new culinary enterprise” Outsider Tart, a hobby-turned-business for David Lesniak and David Muniz, two American business and life partners who’ve set out to rectify what they saw as a dire situation: that “good wholesome, homemade cupcakes, sweet pies and fresh tarts are pretty hard to come by” here in London.

Qype does London

Created with Admarket's flickrSLiDR. Can't see the above photos? Click here to see them on Flickr.
At Paramount, I was in equal measure blown away by Patrón’s range of tequilas and by the stunning view of London. The staff was kind enough to let me take a few snapshots (I think photography is usually prohibited). Aptly named, Centre Point (just above Tottenham Court Road Tube Station) offers a panorama unlike any other in London. More than the tasty drinks and awesome sights, the best part of the lunch was simply getting to sit and chat with Francisco for much my time. What a gracious guy! His knowledge of tequila (but ability to talk about pretty much anything) made for a most enjoyable conversation. The Gran Patrón Burdeos was, indeed, among the most satisfying drinks to ever touch my lips.

Brazilian Wine Tasting at Guanabara
Just a quick word of thanks (with photos!) to TrustedPlaces community manager, Niamh, for inviting me along to a recent Brazilian wine tasting at Guanabara on Parker Street. My fave wine from the evening was the Miolo Lote 43 2004. I also enjoyed the tasty lil coxinha I grabbed for two quid on my way out! Yummy.

Good Food, Good Friends, Good Oil
Last night I had the honour of dining with Henry Braham and Glynis Murray, their gracious (and top chef!) son Ben, a few of the friendly folks from Splendid Communications and a gaggle of London's food blogging usual suspects:
eat like a girl - Epicurienne - Fake Plastic Noodles - Food Stories - Hollow Legs

London Filmmakers’ Oily Hemp Seed Goodness
Chris Osburn, Food & Drink Editor
Londonist
November 21, 2008
It’s always inspiring to hear about Londoners making a go of a dream, especially when the dream is based upon a healthy, sustainable idea. Take West Londoners Henry Braham and Glynis Murray for example. Not content to rest on their laurels and relish in their successes in the film industry, Braham and Murray have connected to their farming backgrounds to produce Good Oil, a “high-quality and healthy UK product” made of hemp seed. According to the cinematographer and film producer partners, the reintroduction of hemp seed (one of the oldest crops to be grown in the UK) to British soil was just the inspiration they needed.

A Visit to Freightliners Farm

Londonist
October 14, 2008
Londonist visited Freightliners Farm Café a couple of Saturdays ago and, despite some initial bad vibes from a gaggle of overly territorial yummy mummies, managed to find some room to sit down and enjoy a delicious lunch in a homey setting for about £18. Now, eighteen quid ain’t necessarily cheap, but we can assure you our lunch for two was a super heathy, well prepared heap of food (we had a couple of coffees too).

Beyond the Rabbit Hole

Qype does London
October 5th 2008
As Qyper/blogger Julie so aptly describes in her recent Qype Goes Down the Rabbit Hole post, half an hour spent “wandering ’round the rabbit hole” is indeed an incredibly surreal experience, one which requires significant and immediate time afterwards to unwind and process thoughts induced while being subjected to Down the Rabbit Hole’s “Lynch-esque scenes involving hybrid rabbit-humans.”

Qype Visits La Cave a Fromage
Qype took a few of its London Ninjas out for a cheese and wine tasting at the wonderful La Cave a Fromage earlier this week. Yum. Check out what folks (including me) had to say about the evening.
Cheese on Qype (Timinator):
I approached this event with some mild trepidation, however: it was a cheese tasting night at La Cave à Fromage. And I, some of you will know, am lactose intolerant. Nevertheless, I wasn’t going to miss a freebie: I left the house armed with as much lactase enzyme as my pockets would accomodate.
Getting cheesy (and blaand) with Qype (Qype does London):
You know someone really cares about you when there’s wine and cheese tasting involved. It’s so much more committal than, say, a friendly chat over a cup of coffee at a café or a pint at the pub. It’s considerably yummier too! I mean, c’mon, it’s cheese … and wine! Such an outing suggests sophistication and an appreciation of the finer things in life (ie cheese and wine).

La Cave à Fromage (Being Unchained):
With literally thousands of cheese to choose from, the owner was delighted to inform us that we could try a different cheese every night for the next 75 years without running out of options.
La Cave à Fromage (Food Stories):
La Cave à Fromage (Food Stories):
OK, so I realised I don’t know much about cheese (apart from what I like) but hey, I’m more willing than ever to learn.
La Cave a Fromage (londonelicious):
There are a lot of options and the staff seem friendly and informative. If I should ever find myself in South Ken--perhaps before a night out at boujis, because you know I hang out there all the time--I'd drop in for some cheese.
Qype visits the cheese cave of West London (Qype*Vibes):
A dozen lucky Qypers got to taste a selection of remarkable cheeses from all over the world, accompanied by soem cracking wines and even a drop of alcohol made from whey (weird!).

Celebrating Macedonian Independence with the Queen of the Gypsies (Qype does London)
Qype does London
September 9th 2008
The event was my first BYOT (bring your own tambourine) concert, and I was much impressed with the variety of dancing and gesticulating offered by the audience in response to Esma’s performance. Heck, I even wriggled to the music a bit too. It would have been impossible not to have danced – the steady rhythm laid firm foundation to the flittering melodies as Esma’s voice soared. The song tempos darted from frenetic to insanely frenetic, while every now and again dipping into mournful.

Friday night’s Burlesque Soirée at Kensington’s Gore Hotel - featuring the exceptionally lovely Miss Polly Rae and her naughtily coy Hurly Burly Girlys - was brassiere loads of fun and well worth the £39 cover (which got ya in the door drinking a cocktail and enjoying a three course meal with coffee all while Miss Polly, Betsy Bon Bon, and Miss Laurie Hagen entertained). Good stuff!

Tapas Fantasticas
I had a pretty awesome time yesterday strolling round the Tapas Fantasticas event at the Old Truman Brewery. It was a great way to spend a sunny Sunday afternoon (especially considering that afterward I went home to watch Spain trounce Germany in the Euro final).

Tokyo's new Subway Line + Saki & Sushi

Going Underground
Friday, June 13, 2008
The drunkeness hit us like a sledgehammer wrapped in cloth. After about three very small glasses, you think - "Hello I've only drunk three glasses and this stuff hardly tastes alcoholic - so why do I feel like dancing on the ceiling". Trouble is the alcoholic content ranged from 14% to 19%.

The location and food were provided by Tsuru. It’s a relatively new Japanese restaurant nestled into a business area just behind the Tate Modern in Southwark. It’s a cozy spot, and they made some incredible food. Click that link to see my (and others’) thoughts on the food; in short, it was excellent. I’m definitely planning to go back, probably to try some katsu curry.

So imagine my relief when we found Tsuru nestled in amongst it all. For anyone thinking Japanese food consists of sushi and soba think again. Our hosts Tsuru restaurant with Akashi-Tai Sake Brewery created an evening of Japanese joy that would make the hardest amongst you melt. We enjoyed a 5 course feast with sake pairing.

Qype Goes BIG in Japan

Learning, eating, and drinking. Three of my all-time favourite things! All being done at the same time! Brilliant! I was happy as clam, so happy I could almost hear the Sound of Music soundtrack streaming in the distance…either that or I was subconsciously humming it to myself… possible, and scary in retrospect.

Food 2.0: Nom, Nom, Nom was Brilliant!
Okay. If you’ve been around me lately, you know I’ve been in a bit of tizzy prepping for an upcoming sojourn (humongous barrels of thanks must be placed at the feet of my lovely Emiana for all the work she’s put into planning and orchestrating our trip!). Sadly, last minute obligations mean that I ain’t got no time to blog about just how awesome it was to participate in yesterday’s Food 2.0: Nom, Nom, Nom. But, I’d feel like a lowly heel if I didn’t say something about how much fun the event was. It totally rocked and everybody was super cool and all the food I tasted was delish!
What was Food 2.0: Nom, Nom, Nom? It was a cooking competition organised by the logistic superstar and networking goddess Annie Mole, in partnership with the very smiley and kind folks at TrustedPlaces.com and innovative lead sponsor SpinVox at the mega-impressive Cookery School (so super helpful and teeming with knowledge and practical advice) near Oxford Circus. The best of London’s online fooderati were pitted against each other for some truly inspired cooking … and all for a good cause (Action Against Hunger and Justgiving)!
That’s about all the time I have to post about Nom, but I did manage to upload a gazillion photos to Flickr from yesterday. There’s plenty more blog posts, etc about the event and I suspect a review will appear on Londonist soon as well.
Thanks for a wonderful day,
Chris

I could run through all the wines but, um I think Rob and Tim have already done brilliant jobs summing the night up on their blogs. As Tim points out in his Plumment Onions post, Aussie vintners Green Point had a winner of a reserve Shiraz accompanied by a gorgeously scrummy spoon of goat cheese foam with honey and cracked black pepper. The Malbec offered by Argentine Terrazas de los Andes was worth keeping in mind for the future as well. However, my faves were from Cloudy Bay, a winery from Marlborough, New Zealand. I especially enjoyed their Te Koko and am very appreciative that they allowed me a taste of their (hush hush) under the table bottle of Pinot Gris.

Olympics 2012 Security: Let's Get it Right!
Peer warns over Olympics security
The safety of the 2012 Olympics could be jeopardised if the government fails to make clear how transport security will be funded, a peer has said.
BBC News
Last Updated: Monday, 7 January 2008, 17:28 GMT
He said: "Eighty per cent of people attending the London 2012 games will do so by using the rail network and that will require a capacity to move and ensure the security of a peak of 240,000 people an hour using rail services to and from the Olympic park."
