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?
Next he bothers the supremely talented Tommy Banks of Passing Fancies fame, presents him with a bag full dregs from the back of his booze cupboard and asks him to rustle up something not-minging. The jeopardy!
And it's all rounded off with a quick chat to Luca Laghi, proprietor of Laghi's in Edgbaston, where we get the definitive answer as to the suitability of pineapple on a pizza... AND THE ANSWER MIGHT SUPRSIE YOU.
Contains strong language and adult content.
