exciting, informative, snarky, and very likely fabricated tales of life as an american expat in london

i’ve been tagged by the vol abroad to post my five favourite places to eat out. which is kinda hard for me 1. because we don’t go out to eat a lot and b. because vol abroad already took a few of my good ones.

1. have to second vol abroad’s vote for oh boy – it’s one of the few places where i consistently feel like i’ve had tasty food that’s good value for money.

2. second fave place has to be pizzeria sette bello. i even wrote a post about it. there’s nothing fancy – it’s just an italian neighbourhood joint that’s genuinely warm and welcoming with good, simple food at extremely reasonable prices. it makes me happy to go there.

3. udon noodles. it’s cheating a bit, since they only do takeaway, but the menu is varied and yummy and it’s where we usually get a friday night meal-in from.

4. love love love bodean’s bbq – does pretty authentic american style bbq (mmm, pulled pork sandwiches), but the big brownie points are the Sam adams beer, new england style clam chowder and real dill pickles.

5. tsunami - a bit hidden, but lovely ambiance and fantastic sushi, hands down the best i’ve had in london (though I haven’t been to nobu, admittedly.)

    I’ve been tagged! Well, I love writing about food. I will add my two cents next week. Bodean’s sounds yummy! I love anything with BBQ sauce…as long as it’s good BBQ sauce.

    BTW, you closed the comments to your post “Because I’m Lucky.” I was just going to say…good job defending yourself. Yikes, you get some, ahem, interesting commenters…
