Trash Blanc

We’ve long bemoaned the difficulty of acquiring top notch food at a decent price after the hour or 11pm in London. A city that purports to be a world capital turfs it’s citizens onto the street at closing time where the choice is grim. A bag of chips from the chippy or a pot noodle [...]

We wrote last week about Londonization, chain eating, the pleasure of knowing the same over-priced menu on ever high street. Well what are we going to do about it? We’re going to tell you what, right here on TrashBlanc.com we’re going to find the very weakest links in an all too familiar rusty toilet chain. [...]

Londonization. The French term for the decimation of the high-street by chain stores and chain restaurants. Walk down any street in the UK and you’ll see exactly what they mean. While we at TrashBlanc.com have to ‘fess up at this juncture to a fondness for H&M [...]

TrashBlanc.com is going to be in New York for eight hours tomorrow  morning. From midnight to 8am to be precise. No doubt we’ll be hungry and there’s zero doubt we’ll be able to find good tasty food at any hour. Especially thanks to the likes of SeriousEats.com and their Late Night guides.

Considering we’re slap bang in the middle of World Falafel [...]

And so to Sicilia, right next door to Fresh and Wild on Brewer Street in Soho. The home of the great British wrap. Or so they’d have us believe. In fairness to Orbital lookalikes who run the banging show at Sicilia they don’t claim to specialize in chick pea. Generally, if it can be rolled [...]

18 months ago had you asked us here at TrashBlanc.com about a month of falafel in London the answer would have started and ended with Gaby’s. The Charing Cross Road eatery offers the proverbial oasis of calm from the oil refinery like hell hole that is Leicester Square across the road. It also offers pretty [...]

Here’s some video. We’ll have the full on TrashBlanc.com rundown a little bit later on.

And…

That’s right, we’re only hours away from World Falafel Month, and we here at TrashBlanc.com simply can’t wait. The European commissioner for chick pea cuisine, Hans van der Flaf has been in touch asking us if we’d consider doing something special to mark the occasion.
Well, he didn’t have to ask twice. After putting aside [...]
