Just had Sam & Sam of Moro and Morito fame over for lunch. They loved the food. Seal of approval

What did you cook?

Still on for Weds?

I still can't get it that they thought it was a sensible idea to call a Spanish restaurant Moro and Morito, regardless of the Andalucian influence and the Moorish influence.

Morito in Spanish is as much of a deregotary term as the N word, for that single reason I won't be going.

First attempt at creme brulee. ... Bloody Yummy!

BITD I used to play baseball with Sam (boy) every Sunday, does he still live in Battersea?
He's a good lad...

I knew he was doing well but didn't realise he was the Moro/Morito guy... Lovely... :)

Any suggestions for a restaurant in shoreditch that could do a work dinner for 54 people?

Meatmission is one possibility.

^^They are now living over near Highbury Fields somewhere.

The new Morito cookbook is coming out soon. Showed me bits of it and it looks great

I tweeted Tim as I bought 2 tickets then remembered my girlfriend is veggie and he said he'd make a veg menu for those who asked for it.

NurseHoliday - how did you get tickets? Looks like a great menu.

Also - Ramen is truly popping off in London now right?! Awesome.

I follow him and Nanban on Twitter, missed out on the first preview, they announced a second one so I just bought tickets without thinking. Yeah there was an interview with Tim somewhere recently and he was saying he's late to the London ramen party. Quite excited about this.

Ramen - so hot right now...
Steam buns - i'm calling it, it's gonna come

Bao will definitely follow if its anything like NYC. Also predictions - Hand Pulled Noodles, Muslim Chinese Food, Poutine, Hip Jewish Deli food and every menu in Dalston having either a Kale, Wild Leek (Ramps) or Brussel Sprout dish on the menu.
