New on the blog - it's Summer Palace in Llandaff. Is it reinventing the wheel? No, but with nearly 40 years of history, it’s more likely that it invented the wheel #Cardiff gourmetgorro.blogspot.com/2026/01/summ...

New on the blog, it's Chucho's in #Newcastle. It makes a compelling case that Byker should be just as famous for its tacos as it is for its grove.

New on the blog - bagels, bikes and brews at Workhorse in Canton. I’ve got a hell of a lot of time for a good homemade bagel but there are barely any available in #Cardiff.

A bobby dazzler of a chilli dog from the recently opened Brân in #Cardiff city centre. Everything hit the mark, from the girthy and snappy smoked sausage, to the thick well-spiced chilli, scattering of crunchy bacon fries, soft bun and drizzle of fiery sriracha mayo.

Five million page views up on the blog. A big thanks to everyone who's still reading my ramblings after what is now almost 15 years. It's always great to know that there are people who still want to read stuff in this era of video content.

New on the blog - a 30 minute lunch at Flat Iron in Kings Cross. With a branch set to arrive in Bristol later this year, I'd imagine there'll be a Cardiff opening in the not too distant future.

New on the blog - the brilliant value set lunch at Asiad in #Porthcawl. I've previously reviewed this excellent pan-Asian restaurant but as they've since changed their name, I thought it was a good excuse for a return visit.
