Since I became a globe travelling
internationally renowned food blogger my wife and I have been leading a pretty
much non-stop rock ‘n’ roll lifestyle…
To give you an idea of the kind of
crazy things we get up to during our foodist adventures, on a recent culinary
trip to London, my wife fancied an afternoon nap so (to avoid disturbing her) I
went for a walk with the intention of buying some socks.
Whilst strolling about I happened to
notice Opera Tavern and Mishkin’s side
by side on Catherine Street.
What Michelin say: “The
Jewish-American deli, but with cocktails, was the inspiration behind this fun
spot from the Polpo people. Lox beigel, chopped liver and salt beef sit
alongside nibbles like cod cheek popcorn; the Reuben sandwich hits the spot.”
Like I say, I didn’t want to go back
to the hotel too soon and disturb my wife’s well-deserved sleep so I did the
only decent thing and went inside Mishkin’s for a coffee.
It seemed rude to order just a
coffee but I was also mindful that we were due to eat out later that night.
Magnanimous as ever, I decided to do the decent thing and ordered the Reuben Burger.
Barely contained within a Brick Lane
Beigel, the burger featured an 8oz beef patty (served pink); layers of thinly
sliced spicy pastrami; mounds of Sauerkraut and melted lashings of oozing Swiss
cheese.
With a side of delicious skin on
chunky fries; crispy onion rings, with a side of Schmaltzed Radish and a dip of Russian dressing, it was truly certainly
one of my tastiest sock shopping experiences!
The Lyle & Scott shop on King
Street had some lovely socks on sale for £7.50 a pair. As for Mishkin’s - Altz
iz gut… ess gezunterhait! (All is good… eat in good health!)
