Late night television is a desolate landscape. The five terrestrial channels realise that nearly 11 people - roughly the same number of people who viewed this website on its first day - tune in to watch late night programming.

I like my burgers the same way I like my women: big, beefy and juicy. I'm from the South in the US, and in my state there are three basic forms of blasphemy - driving a car with a muffler, drinking imported beer and trying to turn a real staple food like a hamburger into a posh dish.

Eight o'clock. BarraFina - one of my favourite places to eat-and-drink in Soho. Sunday - definitely the day I like Soho the most. 

Sitting at BarraFina's tables I usually enjoy that day-after sensation which follows great events - and you weren't there. It's a great place for simple pleasures, like sipping a glass (or more) of cava rosé while chattering on about weak philosophical topics.
