DADDY G'S AMERICAN TAKE OUT

Life at the moment for me is all about burgers.  Everyone loves a good burger. I blooming love a good burger. What is not to love? OK if you are a vegetarian, but there is some super homemade veggie burger out there too! You should see my burger list!

FATHERSON @ THE WESTGARTH

Now I am a sucker for a good working mens club, the smell of old mucky beer. the stale stench of cigarette soaked chairs and the fact they only sell peanuts and the odd pickled egg. I would choose to go see a band in a mucky pub like this any day of the week. You know, one where the regulars don't really know what going on or why all of the Newcastle Brown has all been drank by these "youngsters",  listening to "that racket". What's not to love?!

DOSA HOUZE - SUPPORT YOUR INDEPENDENTS

I LOVE spice! At least once a week I need a hit! In our little town (we just can't seem to get that city bid) there is plenty of foodie places to visit where I can get that spice kick. But there is one little place nestled just out of the way down a little side street that you would not even realise was there.  It's like a little South Indian speakeasy where you have to be told by others or you just wouldn't know it was there. Their peanut chutney is to die for!

BANANA & NUTELLA LOAF CAKE

Ok so you love Nutella, right? But then banana and Nutella is even better. Why stop at banana? Any sort of fruit with a dollop of this hazelnut chocolate delight is the bomb!
