| Pitt Cue |
Working in Soho sometimes can be pretty hard when you're starving! There's just to much choice which is great but you end up taking 20 minutes to decide where you want to go. Here's a few places I've been to over the last month or 2 starting with the
Pitt Cue co http://pittcue.co.uk/ .
Since opening there has been a wait of a couple of hours to get in after 7pm & because of the size of the place they don't take bookings. There ribs are supposed to be fantastic & last summer they were selling them out of a van around the South Bank area.
So one day I really fancied a burger & walked by Pitt Cue co only to see they do take out buns! One was a "Pulled Pork bun" & the other a "Beef Brisket bun". I went for the "Beef Brisket" & ran around to Golden square to chow down on the bad boy. The beef was lovely & tender with a lovely sticky BBQ sauce taste, crunchy slaw & pickles & served in a lovely brioche bun. Not soggy at all & scoffed it in a couple of minutes. They don't seem to do take out ribs yet but amazing takeaway & definitely a Friday treat AT £6.50! yumma.

| Salad with my mayo |
Next onto
Misato, couldn't find a website but it's a Japanese restaurant onWardour street, number 11 to be precise. Everytime I walk past there's a huge queue but one evening I walked past & could see a table free so I popped in. Looking at the menu there was the usual thing (sushi & chicken teryiaki don) so wasn't hugely excited but I went for the "Tori Kara Age Rice" which is seasoned deep fried chicken, sort of KFC style but I ordered without the rice & extra salad mainly because I saw someone eating a plate next to me & the rice they served up was immense, enough to feed 2 probably. What I was given was pieces of chicken with a huge plate of salad, lettuce to be precise with 2 cherry tomatoes & the largest amount of mayo I have ever been given or seen on a plate! The chicken was ok but I couldn't eat all of the salad but for £8.50 including a can of lager & service I suppose it's a pretty good deal & that's why it's usually always packed. Good before a large night out!

| Pizza from the back of a van |
Next up is
The Pizza Pilgrims http://www.pizzapilgrims.co.uk/ who make pizzas out of a oven installed in there 3 wheeled van. On the day I went they had 3 flavours Margarita, Nduja (spicy spreadable sausage) & "The Time Out" which had aubergine, black olives & rocket which is what I went for. It was a good size pizza, nice crisp base & good fresh ingredients. I added 50p for some extra chilli so my pizza cost me £6.50. Maybe a little steep I thought but it was very fresh & tasty & I would definitely go back to have the Nduja pizza next time.

| Won Tons |
Onto the last Restaurant which is in Chinatown called
The Four Seasons http://www.fs-restaurants.co.uk/. They have a couple of restaurants around London & have been known for doing great roast duck, char siu & crispy belly pork. Lately though I've been really getting into there"Prawn Won Ton Noodle Soup" which is served in a great sized bowl for 1 & you usually get 6-7 Won Ton's, some Chinese broccoli & a good bit of vermicelli style noodle in a hot broth. I usually chuck in most of the chilli's & sauces that they put on the table & with a pot of tea & with the slices of orange at the end it usually comes in at £8.50. It's a really delicious & warming bowl all for under a tenner with dessert & a drink! Not bad.
