S01 E04 - Love the Croque

No, you're childish.

In this episode food writer Simon Carlo visits the stunning Grace and Savour at Hampton Manor, which just so happens to be the latest place in the Birmingham area to receive a Michelin star. Feel the zeitgeist. Culinary genius David Taylor talks about his food philosophy, what we'll all be eating in 2050 and where he eats in Brum.

Then back to Digbeth for another cocktail masterclass with Tommy Matthews of Passing Fancies in the Custard Factory. Simon presents him with another bag of random ingredients and demands a drink worthy of his menu. And the bag may include Frazzles, because if you haven't drunk a bacon flavoured drink, you haven't lived.

Finally onto Harborne to catch up with Dan Sweet of QBox - the fine dining takeaway. The phrase "you have a bendy nan" is said, and there's exclusive news about the evolution of QBox.
