London VS Food
Other | Monday 17th September 2012 | Osh
Here at The Guestlist Network we love our lunch breaks, not because we’re lazy , nor because we love to escape the office , rather we are BIG foodies and oh my have we got some BIG food for you.
As addicts of the show ‘Man Vs. Food’ we are often left in dismay over the fact that we Brits don’t go hard or go home with our food. Although there is a strong argument for obesity in the world and the rate is getting higher in the UK we can’t help but think Henry the VIII looked like he was having a whale of a time at those banquets.
So what’s the harm of a 32 ounce steak once in a while? We work out, well there are stairs into the office and they’re pretty tricky to manoeuvre in the morning, and the local costa is at least two metres away.
We understand the hungry Londoners needs and so have compiled a list of a few places in London where you can get food to rival the size of Minaj’s behind. Enjoy.
JW Steakhouse – Mayfair.
This may be posh nosh in a swanky area but don’t fear you can still for fill your hunger needs with a gut busting 32oz Steak aptly named the ‘Tomahawk.’
COST: £44
The Red Dog Saloon – Hoxton Square.
Now this American themed grub has not one but three food challenges.
We begin at the Hot Wing Challenge made with fresh Naga Viper chillies fit to blow your taste buds off the earth. These chillies are ranking number 1 as the hottest in the world.
COST: £10.50
If after that you’re hungry for more there is also a Bucket ‘o’ Wings challenge- 50 wings with your choice of flavour.

Bloomsbury Bowling Lane: Lucy’s Diner - Tavistock Hotel, Bedford Way
Bowling and pizza go hand in hand- however it would take more than one hand to hold these gigantic feasts. At Lucy’s Diner you will find Ray’s pizza’s home of the 26 inch pizza’s. All pizzas are freshly made every day with premium ingredients, sweet tomato sauce, extra-virgin olive oil and a dusting of real parmesan on a wafer thin crust. They even deliver. Share with mates or hell we won’t judge you for doing it Celine Dion style. All we know is we want this tasty pizza NOW.
COST : £19.50 - £21.50
Burgers at Blacks - Purley, Croydon
A little further out than the centre but well worth the journey, and by the size of the prize walking might be advised to earn it. The Beast is Britain and Europe’s BIGGEST BURGER.

So head on down to these big eats and fill up*
