A Little Introduction

“You know, it’s very easy to criticise.”
“Fun, too.”

The above exchange outlines why we as consumers are all critics. Any service or item we purchase or experience is subject to our own criticism and analysis. It is easy, and it is fun.

Welcome to Out Of The Frying Pan; a jaunty all-round take on London eating, brought to you by a group of three young professionals who are based in England’s capital city. We’re not only reviewing restaurants (although that is the basic idea that started us on this blog), but we are commentating on the pleasures and pains of dining. This is an alternative take to the sort of over-informed snobbery you often find in established critique, and a cut above some of the more laboured, word-of-mouth mutterings you might hear in passing.

Your contributors are a small group of friends, initially brought together by passions of music and playing football, who are deeply interested in food, eating and the nature of food in society. None of us are actively involved in the catering business, although we dream of owning a four star restaurant. We can all cook to a competitive standard, and all have slightly differing culinary preferences.

Please enjoy what we have to say, and the ideas we have to offer.

Jonnie, Mike & Tom
