Neil and Chris venture south to Peckham Rye for a magnificent Mexican feast at what they assume to be London’s only pozole restaurant: Maiz.

As wholesome and nourishing as Maiz’s hominy-based soups are they don’t totally help Neil get over a nasty cough and cold (apologies for the odd off and on edits). 

While at Maiz, the duo chat about a few other great meals had together and apart in London as well as Reading. Chris shares his thoughts about a few matcha-centric cafes he’s visited recently, as well as a bakery that Neil recommended last episode. He’s got a few gallery exhibitions he’s especially keen to shout about too. 

Beyond that there’s chat about film, shopping for Mexican food in London and more. 

Recorded live at Maiz in Peckham Rye, London.

For this longer than usual episode, Neil and Chris met up at Burnt Faith Brandy House in Walthamstow for a taste of the kitchen resident Black Cactus BBQ’s menu – and were damn glad they did!

As amazing as their meal (not to mention the comfy booth where they had it) was, the venue was a little too loud for recording. So they reconvened online the next day to chat.

During the conversation, the two discuss what’s recently been top of their to-do lists.

Neil recommends a couple of excellent London pubs. Chris shares highlights from music-related trips to Thessaloniki and Vienna as well as a couple of affordable foodie finds from a work-related visit to Manchester.

There’s talk of more great places to eat around London and what to watch when not going out. 

Neil and Chris “dial in” this one from their respective homes via Zencastr.
