And yet, here we are. The handful of you who have texted me, last minute, looking for a restaurant recommendation to impress your out-of-town friends. That’s all my ego needed to venture forth. That and the fact that you’ll likely find me wolfing down a drippy egg something, somewhere, regardless. 

Who this is:

Rachael. One-time bagel shop owner, entrepreneur, cook, glutton. I’m always thrilled at the occasional “where should we go for x” text from mates. Not because I’m in any way qualified to make these suggestions, but more than I spend so much of my spare time seeking out good eats that I’m thrilled someone has asked. They’ve opened the vault the the barrage of suggestions I’ve used valuable brain storage to catalogue. 

What this is: 

A list and review of restaurants, bakeries, pubs and eateries across the old Smoke for those of you asking. And maybe a few of you stumbling here accidentally. PS No scores, no ratings. If it's on the Eat List, it’s worth eating.

Why is this:

Once upon a time, a humble iPhone note was created entitled the “Eat List”. My curated list of eating suggestions. Eats I needed to conquer. Sorted by “genre” and destination. Some people list films to watch or books to read. My hobby is eat.

Here are my unqualified, unsolicited suggestions. 

Go forth and eat things.
