And Traveling the World
It’s not often I can’t finish a meal. Plates of steak, gigantic salads, and rich desserts are usually no match for my appetite. But last night I met a meal that soundly defeated me. It was at Locale restaurant by London’s Waterloo station, and it was nothing less than a feast.
One of my favorite events of the summer is Taste of London. The annual event in Regent’s Park showcases the cuisine of the best restaurants in the city. But with Taste of London still a few weeks away, I was happy to be invited to Taste of Portugal in the interim.
Fish pedicures in London are the hottest thing to have swept the city since the Royal Wedding. Every time I walk down a street or through a shopping center, I seem to spot the low-lit rooms with deep square tanks of Garra Rufa exfoliating spa goers’ feet.
One of the things I love about living in the UK is how much history there is here. For example, this year Ascot Racecourse—a British institution that will always have a significant meaning for me after winning the Face of Ascot competition my first year in London—is celebrating its 300th anniversary. And I’m celebrating with it at Ascot Racenight.
