<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13pt;">At the end of each year, it’s customary for us blogger types to post a ‘review of the year’ or ‘best of’. However, with 2019 drawing to a close, there’s a unique opportunity look back over the last decade!</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13pt;"> </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13pt;">Foodwise, the last ten years have been pretty special for me. I started my blog and its associated Twitter account in 2011 and since this time I’ve been to some amazing countries and eaten some fab food.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

It also represents my love of small, family run independents in difficult locations, doing things right with commitment and passion. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13pt;">Another amazing trip to a fantastic city for food. The street food here is amazing and many of the restaurants are world class too. Mume gets a special mention but Andre Chiang’s Raw is a magnificent space and was a pretty special experience. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13pt;">Uncharacteristically for us, we have only taken one holiday in 2019 – a trip to San Sebastian back in February. This is a town we adore and have been to many times. As I’ve written a few posts about the town, I didn’t write up this year’s trip so I’ve included a post from 2018. The town is home to many of our favourite places to eat but, if I had to pick one, Borda Berri gets the nod. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: red; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13pt;"><b>Mana was awarded a Michelin Star in October 2019 </b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13pt;">“Mmmm…” whilst this is undoubtedly a noise that emanated from myself at various points during my meal at Mana, it also represents that today’s post is brought to you by the letter M. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13pt;">After an injury put the kibosh on his career as a professional motocross rider, Simon switched his leathers for chef whites. He soon clocked up an impressive CV working for the likes of Simon Radley at The Chester Grosvenor, Restaurant Gordon Ramsay, Gilpin Lodge and various stints abroad. Most notably at Noma in Denmark (and Mexico) - working initially on the BBQ section (where they and Mana do most of the cooking for the service).<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13pt;">Many Chefs with star studded CVs open their restaurants to huge fanfare and PR razzmatazz, but to their credit and benefit, I think it’s fair to say that Mana was a relatively slow burner. This undoubtedly gave them time to find their feet before the national critics came knocking (</span><a href="https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/restaurant-review-marina-oloughlin-on-mana-manchester-0l23j8xkx" style="color: #954f72;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13pt;">here</span></a><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13pt;">). As positive reports from “trusted friends” trickled through, it became clear to an often-distrusting Manchester crowd, that this unlikely location in Ancoats was home to “the real deal”.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13pt;">I promised you that this post was brought to you by the letter M - so let’s talk about Manchester for a bit. You may or may not know that, the Romans named their fort at Castlefield ‘Mamucium’ after a breast-shaped hill (the Latin prefix mamm- meaning breast), from which Manchester took its name. Therefore, Mancs are by definition, tits. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13pt;">This brings us nicely onto Michelin. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13pt;">Every year, on the day of the red guide’s publication, the local <i>fooderati </i>are perennially left with egg on their faces as, since 1974, the city has been snubbed (some say trolled) by Michelin, when it comes to restaurants earning the much coveted starred status.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13pt;">I’ve seen posts on social media with people claiming that Mana’s chances of bucking this trend are “nailed on”. I’m not 100% convinced.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13pt;">If Michelin wanted to be pernickety, they may claim things like: “the mushroom broth should be served a few degrees hotter” and that the otherwise excellent “retired dairy cow tartare would benefit from a more delicate (and therefore better balanced) potato nest”.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13pt;">On the other hand, even the most ardent Manc-trolling inspector would surely have to agree that certain dishes – such as the broad beans with Banks tomato - would not be out of place on a 3 star menu. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
