Have you ever heard a grown man beg for a pie? It's quite a disturbing sound to be honest. Luckily, that part has largely been edited out of this episode, but Tom Shepherd gave into Simon's persistent requests and (SPOILER ALERT), made him the pie that won him Great British Menu.
Tom's restaurant, Upstairs in Lichfield, has had a meteoric rise from opening during Covid, immediately getting a Michelin star and having a waiting list ...
He's back. I mean, he's not been anywhere to be honest, just mooching around town like a culinary nuisance, but he's our culinary nuisance.
The break has been a little big longer than anticipated - soz - but we're back with a bang. Or maybe back with an air horn would be more accurate. That will make sense when you listen.
Brad bloody Carter's on!
Simon visited Brad last year at his pop-up at Westlands UK in Evesham. He showed him ...
Welcome to another episode of the crumbliest, flakiest food podcast around, presented by food writer Simon Carlo.
This episode has it all: Base humour, a Gregg Wallace impression and moaning about how far away Solihull is. Where else can you get all that that in one place?
Stu Deeley makes a triumphant return to the podcast and this time we find out who he is, what he does and why. He won Masterchef: The Professionals a few years a...
Welcome to another dive into the Birmingham food scene with your genial host, Simon Carlo.
In this episode we venture to Solihull. Or if you prefer to pronounce it the wrong way, Solihull. Toffs is our destination - the new fine dining place from top chef Rob Palmer. He's a Villa fan, but don't hold that against him, because he cooks the best fish this side Grimsby. And, because he's a nice guy, shares his tips on how you can keep ...
For what we are about to receive...
This week, food writer Simon Carlo has a (semi)serious chat with Roberto Ortiz of sensational Peruvian restaurant Chakana in Moseley. They discuss tigers milk, chillies and an unexpected visit from a restaurant critic.
Then on to the Indian Streatery to find out about a recent royal visit from one of the owners Dhiraj. Who's the chilli-head in the 'Wales' household? THE ANSWER MAY SUPRISE YOU.

We know, we know. The Meat & One Veg Podcast might be better named The Wine & Two Pints Podcast. And it's in that vain we go big on beer in this episode.
Food writer Simon Carlo chats to beer guru Laura Hadland. Beer doesn't agree with Simon and Laura doesn't agree with some beer, hence the 'bleeps'! She guides us through the wonderful world of hops, barley, water and yeast and teaches us a few things that will help even th...
No, you're childish.
In this episode food writer Simon Carlo visits the stunning Grace and Savour at Hampton Manor, which just so happens to be the latest place in the Birmingham area to receive a Michelin star. Feel the zeitgeist. Culinary genius David Taylor talks about his food philosophy, what we'll all be eating in 2050 and where he eats in Brum.
Then back to Digbeth for another cocktail masterclass with Tommy Matthews of Pass...
Here we are again with more delicious morsels from the Birmingham food scene.
I this episode, Sonal - possibly the world's coolest sommelier - pairs fine wine with fast food. So if you want to know which vintage champagne goes with your KFC, this is the feature for you.
If you're into hot sauce, then Simon's chat with Pip Bradley should pique your interest. He treats her to pizza at Peacer in Moseley, and somehow gets talked into t...
Welcome to the second, finger-lickin' good, episode of the Meat & One Veg Podcast.
As usual, our intrepid host and legend in his own lunchbox, food writer Simon Carlo, eats and drinks his way around Birmingham.
First stop is the magnificent plant-based restaurant in Birmingham's Great Western Arcade, where Simon chats to Zoe Barry from the iconic Brummie brand Punks and Chancers. They chat about chips, music and why Yes Bab?
Ne...

Top Birmingham food writer Simon Carlo chat's to a couple of the UB40 gang about red, red wine... How could he not?!
Then he tries to ruin MasterChef: The Professionals winner, Stu Deeley's credibility, by making him rate high-street meal-deals. Stu's Meal Deeleys if you like.
And it's all topped off by a quick chat to Jamie Desogus - the man behind Harborne Kitchen - in his latest venture, Bun ...
