Brixton news, rumours and general chat - October 2012

[Pickman's model]

did someone call?

i thought my post would recall hatboy

Might head to the Bukowksi Grill in the Villaaaaaage for lunch today, has anyone been?

One of the few disappointing places I'e eating in the village thought it was Average at best.

Bukowski Grill is in Market Row.

To continue a theme from yesterday.

Honest Burger may do some decent chips, but they can't half be stingy with them. I came back with a takeaway burger order once that had so few
enclosed that I actually checked the packaging to see if it had sprung a chipped potato shaped hole. You should not be able to count a portion of chips on the fingers of one hand.

Wish he was here. He'd soon deconstruct the champagne deliveries and pulled pork sandwiches.

I wondered where that KFC murderer got the pole. Now we know. When was that? Anyone know where the thread is?

 

[Mrs Magpie]

They are called tobacco onions or something, I don't know why

..because they're such a fag to make.

Can I just say out loud that I fucking love Brixton. Just had the most amazing day - doing fairly mundane things - chatting, eating, swimming, walking from Stockwell to Tulse Hill and in between - but it was just brilliant.

and on that note... is there anything that can't be bought in Nour? It constantly amazes me.

*can I just say that those last 2 likes were 4 hours apart and both were unrelated to the 5 pints I've just drank.

 

[leanderman]

bukowski is pretty good ,though compromised by fact it is owned by the Franco Manca 'investors'

 

[Frumious B.]

Do we not like them?

 

[Badgers]

I still have not been to the Craft Beer Co..

Meat Liquor - owners of the Wishbone in Market Row - are getting some shit on Twitter cos they have a sign behind the bar saying "no fat chicks". A fellow Brixtonite went and challenged them about it and the Meat Liquor staff mocked her in return. So fuck them, basically.

I thought Meat Liquor owned the new chicken place that's not opened but has reviews?

1970 called and wants its staff back.

 

[Badgers]

Quite a few complaints on the @meatliquor feed about service.

 

[Brixton Hatter]

Just realised, it's not Bukowski Grill that Meat Liquor own, its that new Wishbone place. My sincere apologies for the mix up. Post edited. (good if other could edit their posts too. Sorry.)

@BigAppleHotDogs when are you coming to Brixton. Hungry people want to know please.
