  • I just could not fault this fry up in any way - off the charts. A Darren John ‪@DarrenJohn‬ saying he uses when a 10 is just not enough. Becks Cafe in Red Lion St between Chancery Lane & Holborn is a must visit. No bubble & squeak but I can live with that. Could not fault it at all.
    Proper London fry up in the best city in the world.

      As a Londoner, I am fiercely proud of "My City", do yourself a favour and visit a few of the places that D.J. has reviewed on here, I tell you, you won't be disappointed, yes it's expensive, but there are still some great places to visit that don't cost an arm & a leg. For real bargain grub, visit the East End cafes (greasy spoons), there ain't so many these days, but still a few good un's about, and you'll meet real Londoners.

    How do you make fried bread? As a kid growing up in England I never paid much attention when my mum put breakfast on the table, just knew that fried bread was one of my favorites. I've tried to fry the bread in the fat left over from my bacon but the fat just disappears and I have to add some kind of oil or lard. It just doesn't make the grade. Incidentally the old fashioned way of cooking has been frowned upon as unhealthy and disgusting but I'm a man of simple tastes and when I see you enjoying food it makes me realize that my old mum was a pretty good cook and even though she worked she still managed to serve up some pretty good grub. Canadian restaurants would frown on fried bread as being totally unhealthy and if I asked for bubble I'm sure they would wonder what planet I was from. Great vids Darren, keep up the good work!

    • @DarrenJohn
      @DarrenJohn  Рік тому

      Thanks Michael - as long as you soak the bread in oil / or lard is better (or any old frying oil you previously used) then dry the pan, add the bread and dry fry it until brown 🙂

    I know this area very well as my ex girlfriend lived on Lambs Conduit Street. I enjoyed your review of The Fryer’s Delight, apparently Janet Street-Porters favourite and all cooked in beef dripping. Although I quite liked it we used to go to the North Sea Fish Restaurant more often. Never tried Becks as you couldn’t get in for the Black Cabs outside (sign that it’s good!). Other great places to visit in the area are The Lamb Pub for a beer and The Duke on Roger Street (Art Deco) for beer and food. Near Becks there used to be a great Chinese called Kam Fung (sadly no more). I think nearby there is also still the excellent Pizza takeaway Malletti (Clerkenwell Road) and the original gastropub The Eagle. Overall a great part of central London.

Apart from that looks spot on. Chips look great and > hash browns. Fried slice , eggs and porkers look killer.
