S01 E07 - Waving Your Cod About

Welcome to another dive into the Birmingham food scene with your genial host, Simon Carlo.

In this episode we venture to Solihull. Or if you prefer to pronounce it the wrong way, Solihull. Toffs is our destination - the new fine dining place from top chef Rob Palmer. He's a Villa fan, but don't hold that against him, because he cooks the best fish this side Grimsby. And, because he's a nice guy, shares his tips on how you can keep your monkfish moist and your turbot tender next time you cook fish at home.

And we head back to the Jewellery Quarter to chat some to Sonal, the sommelier at the Wilderness. In a previous episode he gave Simon vintage Krug to drink with his hot wings. No such luck this time. But we do find out about how he came to be the GQ sommelier of the year.
