      As for McDonald's, I recently saw a Paris menu item called le double shiny bacon. And to think stateside we've had to make do with matte bacon all this time.

            It was a real shock for me. The reference seems dumb but this is a reality. In France, you cannot afford a McDonalds menu for less than 10€ (if you want an icecream to complete it) which is a bit insane for what it is.

            Berlin was the less expensive McDonalds I went to though and they have the veggie burger which is an other alternative to the Fish if you don't eat meat.

            By the way, I noticed something very obvious down the londonian streets. Who do english peope have with the "Prêt à Manger" fast foods? They're all over the place, like every hundred meters.
            It seems to be much more popular there than in Paris or anywhere else.

              Thai BBQ sounds like a goer to me, thanks!

                  I love Pret. But yeah, it seems they are taking over the town.

                    ^Along with Itsu but yeah their Rocket and crayfish is really good.

                    On a another note, some nice large PH pieces in DSM which includes jerkin(keeps growing on me), pocket and the new print shirt. Did DSM dropped m_moria or was it just a once/twice off installation.

                        Bizarre how? I'm curious as it's a friend of mine.

                          I don't mean bizarre in any negative way. Mainly the eclectic vibe of the place when you compare it to the cooking. A wine bar with a non listed cocktail menu playing Hendrix while I'm wrist deep in curried crab as lights flicker around me. The thai/london/new york atmosphere was jarring to me at least.

                          Meat was top notch, best chicken wings I've had in a long time. Great to see the place so lively on a Tuesday too. It was quite fascinating.

                              It's a must see. He opened about 5 weeks ago, reviews have been raving about it and it's now a 2.5 hour wait for a table. All music is played from a turntable, you can bring your own records if you like. And the food is out of this world, wineselection is top notch too.

                                Going to have a layover in London soon from 7pm to 3pm the next day or so. Any recommendations of fun things to do or try within that time period (all-night eats, clubs, etc)?
