There’s a story about, I think Shankly, where’s he’s pulled up on owning a Mercedes’ and they ask ‘how can you you claim to be a socialist and drive a Mercedes’?’

 

’Ah, the difference between me and you is that you want to own a Mercedes’ at the expense of others, whereas I want everyone to be able to own one’

 

Something like that anyway.

That story was apparently credited to Brian Clough.

Well, think of us aspiring coffee machine owners when you’re scoffing down your sea bass and say ‘I wish that cunt could have some of this’.

I'm taking the Mrs to Tom Kerridges place in London, having been to his place in Marlow which is great.

 

There's one item that stood out on the menu...

With a 12.5% service charge on top you're paying over £40 for fish and chips.

 

On Steins place i went years ago and you missed a trick as you should have gone for the ceviche and then the tartar.

£38!!!!!

At Steins I had Indonesian Seafood Curry- very very tasty- which it wanted to be for £30.

I'd appreciate your review; Mrs. Stouffer really wants to go there.

Subway is such dogshit. I can’t believe there’s not a better deli chain in the UK specialising in good sandwiches and rolls. Because what’s on offer is fucking shit. 

Its the only place where they dont put mayonnaise on your butty without you asking.

TGI Fridays is the Ninth Circle of Hell. Shit, overpriced food, crap music turned up way too loud & full of screaming kids 

 

Horrible places.

First time i'd been we sat outside so no kids but everything else was terrible, I complained and didn't pay for any of it.

Went to TGI Fridays over the weekend and it was a horror show, one of the worst meals I've ever had, it was a Sunday I dunno if that had anything to do with it.

I prefer the Italian stereotype version, Frankie and Benny's. Hoooooooe!

Just left, pretty average, you can get much better for the same price, shame as the Hand & Flowers is amazing.

 

Dinner By Heston will cost you around the same and is light years ahead.

 

Let me know if you need any other recommendations, I know the restaurants quite well in London and can point you in the right directions.

I had a Wendy's in New York, that was nice - square.

I had a nice burger in an Applebees there. The food in New York is fucking superb. Even the pizza vendor outside the Staten Island ferry serves better pizza than you can get in the UK.

Despite everything that has been written about maccies demise since Uber eats came around, its still the one i go for most often. There are plenty of nicer burger places on uber too, but they dont have the menu variety of maccies.

 

If Im home in my mums then it is always the local chippy.

I love good fish and chips, only trouble is most of the chippy's round here are shite so for that so you have to travel. 

 

My go to atm is  stir fried beef & onions in black bean sauce with fried rice and a portion of salt & pepper chips.

They're massive portions so we wack it between the two of us.

Tasty as fuck and both of us well fed for a shade over a tenner.

 

Mrs HL did me some cheese on toast for my dinner. Made with strong cheddar just before the calcium lactate starts to crystallize and with some strong chopped onion. Another favourite of mine I have often.

Would have thought the best day to go would be Friday...
