I’ve Been Tagged. A Restaurant Meme.

I am very behind in responding to my very first meme, a tagging that occurred on May 9th. Yes, I am a London-food-blogger-slacker.

So here’s the meme…name your five favo(u)rite places to eat out. And then tag five other people to name their five favo(u)rite places to eat out. And then post the trail as it got to you, and add yourself to the bottom, with a link to your own blog. And let Nicole Tan (Sydney, Australia) know about all of this, as she started it. Try to make it go around the world. Yes, this is a-modern-day-chain-letter, but with a much cooler name.

So here are this American’s top five favorite restaurants in London, as of 25 May 2007:
1. Vinoteca. I love this place. I took my dad there the other week and we almost had an international incident when they attempted to take his nearly empty plate away from him.
2. The Providores. I also love this place. If you haven’t caught on, I do enjoy wine. Particulalry when it’s well-focused. I love the New Zealand-oriented wine list.
3. Crazy Homies. For my Tex-Mex fix in London. And margaritas.
4. The Fox. A gastro pub tucked away on a random street straddling the edge of the city and Shoreditch.
5. Pham. For my local crunchy tuna rolls.

And here is who I am tagging–five London food/restaurant/dining bloggers–and I am obviously failing in the attempt to make this go around the world:
1. Jess from Ripe London
2. Trig, from Aidan Brooks, Trainee Chef (This dude can wield a knife, I tell ya. I’ve seen it.)
3. Howard from Food & Drink in London
4. Ben from Food & Drink in London (Ok, so I’m listing them both separately both because I am pretty lazy and because I am very curious to see where their tastes part.)
5. Chris from Cheese & Biscuits. (He’s the new kid on the London food blog block. Let’s see what he’s made of.)

OK, and now here is how I got tagged…
