I am coming up on my first anniversary in London, after 8 years in Chicago. (Fave places being Hot Doug's, Penny's on Diversey, the Wiener's Circle, Jin Ju, Uncle Julio's, Piazza Bella, The Village Tap, I could keep going.) I've been a lurker here for a while, and thought some might find my London restaurant blog useful...
