Ad 🥩 @barandblock is a steakhouse chain serving up 30-day aged British & Irish prime beef and I visited its newly opened Paddington restaurant to see what’s changed in the last 3 years since my last visit to another branch. I’ve seen a massive step up in the quality and choice, and a new streamlined approach to the menu makes it even easier to select your favourite cut. You’ve got specialty cuts, such as spiral-cut ribeye, beef rib, and the steak sampler, or go classic and get rump, ribeye, sirloin or fillet in any weight you want and all hand-cut to order! We went for a 6oz ribeye and the steak sampler. The steaks were cooked perfectly with a nice smoky char on the outside from the grill. But to make these steaks even better you HAVE to get their new Block steak sauce, it’s incredible! It’s a sweet, fruity and smoky tamarind flavour that’s kind of like an A1 steak sauce. They sell it by the bottle too and I wish I bought one 🥲. Pricing is great, especially when you get sides included with the steak price, plus cocktails are 2 for 1 every day, 5-7pm, and you can enjoy the Save+Crave lunchtime set menu with 2 courses for £12.95 or 3 courses for £14.95, 11.30am-5pm Monday-Friday! Go check it out for yourselves! . . . . . #paddington #london #londonfood #londoneats #londonfoodblogger #londonist #londonlife #foodporn #steak #steakdinner #steakporn #steaktime #steaklover #steaklovers #steakhouse #mediumrare #sirloin #sirloinsteak #ribeye #ribeyesteak #fillet #tbone #porterhouse #londonrestaurants #londonrestaurant #steaknight #londonfoodie #beef #meatlover #meatlovers (at Bar + Block Steakhouse London Paddington) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cdfa4fWoSk9/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

"The door clicked open and then there was a flash-- and another and then multiple other blinding flashes that made Leona groaned. He had no choice but to reluctantly pull out his sunglasses. It was always like this when Leona had to visit his former schoolmates, he could never really escape the paparazzi especially when he was with his wife"
SPECIAL THANKS TO @thecoolsquirrel FOR THIS PIECE, THEIR SO TALENTED AND CREATIVE
Been ages since I saw M so we spent the last day of the semester chatting over good food and drinks.
Sirloin steaks @ Collin's
M and I met in 2019 and were literally strangers until we got to teach the same class in 2020, and although come from very different backgrounds, bonded through some personal stuff that we were both going through in our own lives. Of course, covid happened, and it strengthened our friendship even further even though I am usually very cautious about becoming friends with colleagues.
Overall, it was a good day; we were well-fed and the drinks made us fuzzy with happiness while we caught up over the latest happenings in our lives.
