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.

Anywhere with Black Forest Gateaux on the menu is alright with me! Slightly less sure about the onsite monkey 😳

I'm sure they'd sub the Thai sweet chilli sauce for something else on request - they're very friendly.
The Grotto was before my time in Cardiff - it sounds amazing / hilarious! They don't make restaurants like that anymore.

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.

The cavolo nero and ricotta sandwich sounded excellent too! I'm sure there'll always be something good for veggies on the menu. Yeah, the more I've learnt about wine the less I'm into the funky tasting natural stuff.

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.

Fingers-crossed for you! Think a lot of things must be caught up with the Black Friday sh*t show. I had a parcel due on Monday that finally made an appearance on Wednesday.
