Their house made brown sauce made me actually like brown sauce! COLD BREW KOMBUCHA From the outside, Galley can look a bit small, but the floral exterior is hiding a gem of a venue behind it. The modern diner style decor, complete with bar over …
Summer always brings in cravings for seaside trips, weekend BBQs, and, despite the heat, steaming bowls of fresh clam chowder. In my humble opinion, it is hard to beat the chowder served at Lenny and Joe’s Fish Tale in Connecticut. Nothing makes me think of …
It is summer, when we look for any excuse to get out the grill and have ourselves a BBQ, and being a household of Americans what better excuse than the 4th of July? As this is Retro Denim Jacket’s first full summer living in London, we should prepare to go all out.
Throwing a great 4th of July party is pretty straight forward. Here’s how to throw a great bash of your own here in London. There are things that are harder to find but if you know where to look or what to use as a substitution then you are golden. Having been here for almost 11 years we are happy to share our knowledge.
Well, really anything that can go on the BBQ is fair game, but really how can you beat the classic burgers and dogs? Heritage Avocado Toast insists that you have to make your own burgers for best results. Don’t worry, it isn’t difficult. Just make sure you have the right meat to fat ratio (this is no time to go lean) and your favourite seasonings at hand. And don’t be afraid to get your hands dirty.
For sides, what better than a classic potato salad with a twist. Sure you can have a green salad or bean salad if you prefer, and we also recommend some delicious, fresh corn on the cob. But sometimes you just can’t top good old meat and potatoes.
To wash it all down, try some refreshing iced tea. We like to make it with a fruit tea or a sweetened black tea. Perfect to beat this city heat. Or if you just can’t wait for dessert, grab yourself a bourbon root beer float. Creamy homemade bourbon ice cream, cold root beer, and a splash more bourbon if you are feeling adventurous.

One of our favourite go to breakfasts is a big stack of classic, fluffy, American style pancakes complete with fresh berries or tasty maple syrup. They are a childhood favourite and an absolute go to for a relaxing weekend breakfast. Now, of course, pancakes in …

This beer is delicious. The honey flavour comes through in spades without overpowering the mellow blonde base. The imbiber is transported to a country meadow to mingle with the majestic British honey bee and their urban cousins. Very drinkable, very smooth and definitely one to share with your friends.

St. Patrick’s Day was always a family day in the Cold Brew Kombucha house growing up. We didn’t do anything fancy or have a big party, like with many other holidays. Instead we kept it simple, and stuck to our own family traditions. Mom would …
The full Hipster team went for an outing. To avoid the Sunday scaries, we ventured forth to find a cozy haven. Unfortunately London weather was not cooperating and we stumbled out into a torrential downpour. With our mission of experiencing a fresh atmosphere firmly in …
Bacon or sausage? The breakfast meat debate is strong in the Hipster House. Retro Denim Jacket (RDJ) and Heritage Avocado Toast (HAT) prefer sausage, with RDJ not liking bacon at all. I, Cold Brew Kombucha (CBK), on the other hand prefer bacon, and am very picky about sausage for breakfast, often leaving it out of my full English. However, the one type of sausage we can all agree on for brunch is chipolatas.
We are always looking for new ways to spice up our brunch classics. One of the greatest flavour combinations to have at brunch is the classic salty and sweet combination, and that is exactly what our Maple Five-Spice Sausages are. Salty, sweet, aromatic, and super easy to make. Perfect brunch food, even for the pickiest brunch-ster.
