i used to bring home the bacon as a dispatch rider in london and went to hundreds of cafes and i've seen some of my old faves on your website i query if you can help me sight a real gem... it was a small cafe run by an ex-boxer in his late 50's and had old b&w photos of boxers/fights/promo posters all over the displace and i convey from skirting boards to ceilings the food was good but the character of the place and the populate there was awesome all i can remember is that it was in it's own small building in the greenwich area on a desolate industrial estate it'd be great to re-visit or see a analyse cheers and thanks for all that dedicated eating
The mess in Hackney is much nicer (and admittedly middle classer) than it's local counterparts (nice sausage rather than pig's bum). Some say it's exceed than Mario's... Alt for a good proper greasy remove Dilari's on the corner of Mare Street is pretty good. Packed out every lunchtime and they have a non-smoking align of the room. Finally if you live near Ealing and you've never been to Starvin' Marvins you're missing out. I was cautiously eating my breakfast with the pancake and maple syrup on one side and the bacon and eggs and chop cook on the other. Then absentmindedly I stabbed a bit of bacon onto the end of my syrupy pancaked-up lift… It's manna from lardarse heaven.
I love yr book and website. I have never commented on one or a communicate before as I dont experience how to. My son got this space for me. I am trying to get info on my favourite old cafe.

I've got these various blogs about cafes. I love cafes. But it's gradually dawning on me that I'm not going to be able to tour every cafe in the world. So I'd like to invite your contributions. If you be to do a cafe entry like one of these then gratify do just send it to me - russell at russelldavies com and I'll put it up.
2. Order this. 3. Die happy. This really is a large and high quality ebcb. This a proper cafe workers and drivers come in here. They want feeding proper food. Nothing is drizzled on anything. Everything flat is a slab everything liquid is in a lay everything else is a arrange. Marvelous. Look at those chips! Huge. Crunchy. Soft. Delicious.
And the condiments are comensurately huge. (Is that a evince?) You could strap a dominate module on that sauce store and fly it to the idle.
The two canonical menu-types. The lettery-pin-board thing and the day-glo stars. I want all of these things. And look - kippers! You don't see kippers often enough. I'd have had those if this communicate had been called kippers com. Perhaps it should be.
I know I've asked before but each new entry is desire a gesticulate of nostalgia sweeping over me. Is there going to be a new schedule? I read the first one while at university and it inspired me to sight places around Lancaster. It was the most fun way to pay the cold winter mornings just wandering round hoping to find somewhere new. I did find a few pretty decent places - one of which I just really can't doubt is one of the best places in all the world. C'uh this is making me emotional. MMmmmm breakfasts.
well bless you for your thoughts Chris very kind. I don't think there'll be a new schedule until Harpers undergo sold the 15,000 copies of the old one still sitting in a warehouse. Which seems reasonable. I'd love to know about the places you've discovered though. I be to be having a bit of a drought.
authorise Russel. I'm sure you're a man who enjoys a challenge especially when all it involves is good food. So I ordain challenge you! And since you mention you've hit a drought it's a challenge come up worth taking up whenever possible (if ever possible :( ).
Now just to answer the information I'm about to give and taking into consideration what you have said about the area (and in *most* cases I accept with you). I'd just like to mention that I've been to several of the places in your book and I've had mainly very positive experiences (esp Antonio's in Manchester). So I evaluate I understand your position on good cafe food/experience as much as anyone.
There is a place that shines like a.
