A post tonight on twitter regarding the lack of a food truck revolution in Edinburgh got me thinking (or more reminiscing) of the great food I ate during my autumn trip to the East Coast of America, which appears to be food truck central. This wasn’t just fish ‘n’ chip van style food or bland…

Another food post from Belfast (did I mention I ate a lot when I was there?). Horatio Todd’s is a local bar / restaurant in the Ballyhackamore area of Belfast. A recent article in the local newspaper stated there were 22 different bars and restaurants in the area – who knew? I remember the days…
Made In Belfast
