Dumpling Home
When we went to Nightbird a few weeks ago, we passed by Dumpling Home on our way. This was also on our list of places to try, but we hadn’t prioritized it since since you can’t make reservations (line up and put your name on the yelp list once open). Andrea had been thinking about

Billingsgate
Just a quick lunch after my Saturday run (trying to get back into shape, so only up to 5 miles at this point). We usually purchase our seafood here, but they also make some cold dishes and was a good option to get something healthy and fresh. I started with the Wild Scallops Ceviche and

San Ho Won
Andrea and I first ate here back in December of 2021 not too long after they first opened in November of that year. It was hailed as being high-end Korean cuisine with Corey Lee, of Benu fame, as one of the founders. We had very high expectations from our experience at Benu. Back then, we

Saru
Popped in for a quick lunch at Saru. When they used to have lunch service during the week pre-pandemic, I had eaten here a 2 or 3 times a week after my mid-day run because they had a lunch menu then. Saru is only open for weekends now and it’s the same menu for lunch

Virgin Upper Class – LHR to SFO
Upper Class seating on Virgin planes is a bit weird since you are in pods angled in sort of a herringbone type pattern. They are also a bit odd because the walls on them are not very high so you generally see everyone else due I had booked our seats across from each other because

Virgin Clubhouse at London Heathrow
First time flying first class on Virgin. This was quite a treat at Heathrow. First, we were able to get dropped off at the separate check-in and security for first class passengers; Virgin calls this their Upper Class Wing. We basically pulled up and porters helped us with our luggage. There was no line for

Restaurant Gordon Ramsay
My wife and I ate here for our last meal in London. We’ve been watching Hell’s Kitchen since season 1, so we were interested to try one of his flagship restaurants (I have eaten at some of his restaurants in Vegas, the latest being Hell’s Kitchen which was very meh). There was their regular tasting

Great Court Restaurant at the British Museum
We did a bit of museum-ing in the morning and then had lunch at the restaurant so we could get our strength back to see more of the museum. Andrea made reservations and pre-paid for 2-courses. The pre-pay was a modest £21. For starters, Andrea went withe charred eggplant with apricot harissa and I went

Darjeeling Express
This was a restaurant Trisha was interested in going to and we were definitely game. We started with the Chicken Momos, Puchkas, and Chili Cheese Toastie. The momos were more shaped like pot stickers rather than the round momos that I’m used to seeing, so there was a bit more dough than I’m used to

Searcys Brasserie & Champagne Bar
Trisha took us the St. Pancras International station, not to catch an international train, but do a bit of shopping and sight seeing in the nearby area. We had just finished watching Season 4 of Slow Horses where most of the action took place in the surrounding area, in this station, and at this champagne
