Spicy sticky wings with a blue cheese dip

I recently started a new job in Chiswick, which meant that I had to leave Soho, my old stomping ground of two and a half years. Now, here is a message to all people who work in or around that area: APPRECIATE it, because you won’t know what you miss until you leave it! From shopping on Oxford Street to late eats in Chinatown, Soho had everything you could possibly need or want to fit around your working day. And of course, the thing I miss the most is the amazing restaurants there. In the last few months of my old job, my friends and I discovered Meat Liquor and managed to eat there three times. Now I can only dream of casually turning up to the famed establishment at midday when there are no queues, gorging on a Dead Hippie burger and chilli cheese fries, and rolling back to work slightly tipsy on their Grog.

Easy chicken burger

There’s never been a better time to be a burger lover in London. Just when you think you’ve found the perfect match (Hawksmoor? Goodmans? Bar Boulud? or my personal fave, the off-menu at Joe Allen?), Meat Liquor comes along. I went with my colleagues to the much hyped diner for lunch, where we gorged ourselves like it was our last meal. We shared fat onion rings, skinny fries, decadent buffalo wings with a blue cheese glaze, and I had the Dead Hippie burger. We also shared two bottles of wine and had a Creme Egg each… oof. There’s something about going for a good burger that makes you high, yet very uncomfortable around the waist.
