    About this ebook

    There are many people who are enthusiastic about food—the cooking of it, the preparation of it, the serving of it, and let’s not forget the eating of it.

    But Andrew Delaplaine is the ultimate Food Enthusiast.

    This is another of his books with spot-on reviews of the most exciting restaurants in town. Some will merit only a line or two, just to bring them to your attention. Others deserve a half page or more.

    “Exciting” does not necessarily mean expensive. The area’s top spots get the recognition they so richly deserve (and that they so loudly demand), but there are plenty of “sensible alternatives” for those looking for good food handsomely prepared by cooks and chefs who really care what they “plate up” in the kitchen.

    For those with a touch of Guy Fieri, Delaplaine ferrets out the best food for those on a budget. That dingy looking dive bar around the corner may serve up one of the juiciest burgers in town, perfect to wash down with a locally brewed craft beer.

    Whatever your predilection or taste, cuisine of choice or your budget, you may rely on Andrew Delaplaine not to disappoint.

    Delaplaine dines anonymously at the Publisher’s expense. No restaurant listed in this series has paid a penny or given so much as a free meal to be included.

    Bon Appétit!

      INTRODUCTION

      london_england_street_20130730_1626074904 copy

      I kept a place in London for many years, in West Kensington near Notting Hill, but have lived there off and on since then. I’ve probably spent more time in London than any other city, and while it’s a toss-up whether I prefer New York to London the fact of the matter is I lived in London longer than New York, so that pretty much tells you.

      Why, Sir, you find no man, at all intellectual, who is willing to leave London. No, Sir, when a man is tired of London, he is tired of life; for there is in London all that life can afford.

      Samuel Johnson said this to James Boswell when they were discussing whether or not Boswell's affection for London would wear thin should he choose to live there, as opposed to the zest he felt on his occasional visits. (Boswell lived in Scotland, and visited only periodically. Some people are surprised to learn that Boswell and Johnson were far from inseparable over the last twenty years of Johnson's life, the period Boswell knew him.)

      This discussion happened on September 20, 1777, and Johnson, who had an unusual fear of being alone, was always going out and enjoying what London had to offer. I couldn’t agree more wholeheartedly with Johnson, and his observation of the London of 1777 is just as apt today.

      GETTING ABOUT

      London-Underground1

      THE UNDERGROUND

      People have been using the Underground, more commonly known as the Tube, since 1863. This is a public metro system that serves a large part of Greater London as well as parts of the counties of Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire and Essex. The Underground has 270 stations.

      While it’s possibly the best means of transportation when considering area covered, speed and reliability, there are a few disadvantages. In the summer it’s hot and crowded and is not a place you want to be stuck on a summer’s day and it’s become a bit pricey for visitors to use. While I used to use the Tube quite often when I lived in London during most of the 1980s, I don’t
