Feliz Segundo Aniversario! Brummie Gourmand is 2!

It’s hard to believe it’s been TWO YEARS since my first post. I gave an update on what the first year had held so I thought I’d give you an update on Year 2!

This year has been an interesting one so far, having been shortlisted for the Midlands Food Drink and Hospitality Awards Blogger of the Year, the first anniversary of Geeky Brummie on Brum Radio, the launch of the Geeky Brummie Podcast, and lots and lots of blogging.

Some personal highlights have been:

• The always amazing Colmore Food Festival

• Finishing off the tour of Bitters & Twisted with Pride and Sloth

• Birmingham Cocktail Weekend (already booked our return for 2017)

• Trying something different with a gluten free menu at Henry Wong’s in Harborne

• Meeting Omar Ahlibhoy at Tapas Revolution

• Going game only at the British Oak

• Enjoying a brunch with The Ting Thing & our partners at Malmaison

• Pairing whisky with Chinese at Chung Ying Central

• TWO visits charting the refurb of JuJu’s Cafe (1 & 2)

  and their recently opened neighbours Canal Square

• Finding fresh mussels at Cheval Blanc and returning for their Spring Menu

and

• Enjoying Beef & Malbec at Gaucho

Choosing just a dozen of the things I’ve been up to was difficult so head on through the archives to read more!

To finish, a quick thank you, again, to long suffering Wifey and thank you to all those who’ve taken time to read my little corner of the internet. Here’s looking forward to year 3!
