I had another double down yesterday and really quite enjoyed it. The cheese was a bit odd though, I was expecting a cheese slice but this was a cheese sauce. Rather tasty actually.

Breakfast at EAT. Sourdough toast with smashed avocado and feta. With a clouded lemonade
Was going to try out this new fried chicken place for lunch. Heard good things about it. The chicken and waffles sounds really good. But I had a free burger to claim on my GKB rewards app and it was due to expire at the end of the week. Soo...
A free Hot Diggity burger. The chilli fried egg on top was good
How often do you eat out? Seems quite often, in particular at EAT and GBK? Nothing other than curiosity btw
T minus 11 days until El Cellar De Can Roca
Do you have an alter-ego ?
... it is all research ?

Bloody rains knocked out my sky signal now.
I do quite like eating out, my days off work permitting. And I do have a few favourites, like EAT, Pret, Tim Horton's, Patisserie Valerie and GBK. I have a rewards app for GBK that often gives free stuff.

Do you ever get take aways delivered or do you just like eating out?
Sometimes. I've used Just Eat on occasion. And sometimes I'll get stuff at a local takeaway on the way home from work and take it home with me. But I guess I do prefer eating out overall. I like trying out new places.

I used to go to EAT 5 times a week for lunch, soup, salads, pie and mash, baguette.
Was spending a fortune.

Another day out in Glasgow today. Went to a couple of new places today.
Breakfast at Bill's Glasgow Restaurant. Very nice fried breakfast. Would definitely eat there again
I was going to have lunch at that new place Absurd Bird, but the reviews its been getting on TripAdvisor have been pretty poor. Several reviews compared it to another way better place, Buck's Bar. So I decided to try that out instead.
Buttermilk fried chicken and waffles, with maple syrup. Also a side of popcorn chicken. And dessert was Alabama Fudge cake.
Couple of things. First, getting the side dish was a mistake. The portions were bigger than I was expecting, I could NOT finish the main course. Also I don't think I would get the chicken and waffles again. It was nice, but I found the blend of sweet and savoury to be a bit off putting after a while. Ironically they had a special that was chicken and waffles with mac n cheese instead of maple syrup. I probably would have preferred that. Ah well. I'm still not sorry that I tried it.

Did you like the chicken and waffles? I had it once drizzled in maple syrup with a side of ranch and I just found the meal very odd and doesn't work well together. The chicken was nice and the waffles were nice but they just didn't work together for me.
Like I said above, I did like it, but the combination of sweet and savoury was a bit confusing to my palate. I wouldn't rush to get it again. I think it would be way better without the maple syrup. Maybe a hot sauce instead or a blue cheese sauce. Or gravy.
No way I'm going out today in this miserable weather. Thankfully that new Domino's is available. Got myself a lunch deal. Small pizza with 2 toppings for £4.99. Tandoori chicken and Cumberland sausage. Very nice indeed

you're snubbing one of the main contributions/combinations the USA has bought to humanity ? pancakes+maple with a side of scrambled eggs/bacon... mmm
(although following waffle thread I'm more sceptical that we get genuine maple .. which absorbs better)
...no dinner photos ?
Not at all. I would be down for trying that. Its just the chicken and waffle thing didn't do it for me as much as I hoped it would.
And "dinner" yesterday was this. I almost never had a proper dinner when I got out for breakfast/lunch. Too full. This pulled beef wrap from EAT made a very nice late afternoon snack though.

Pancakes, bacon and maple syrup works for me but I just didn't get severing the syrup with the chicken. I think BBQ sauce would probably be better as that's a bit sweet as it is.

This stuff is pretty much as good as Nutella, probably a little sweeter.
