Foodie Rich; ‘Adventures in Smoking’
A few weeks ago, I celebrated my birthday. And what was even better, it fell on a bank holiday weekend. And what was EVEN better was the foodie events I’d planned! It all kicked off on a Thursday evening at Aurum in Southend, at their Tattinger Champagne evening. What an evening that was. Six courses all matched with Champagne!! No work on the Friday for us, so a sunny afternoon in Old Leigh it had to be; eels n’all! Saturday was the highlight though. The good old Brisket Tin were serving up their glorious ‘Low & Slow’ BBQ at my bar of the moment, the wonderful West Road Tap! Wowzers, with craft beer in hand, I stuffed my face with 12 hour smoked brisket, and 9 hour smoked Char Siu pork collar!
