As part of the El Fit vs El Fat month the Brothers search for an alternative to our usual nutritious food review or 2 pint lunch. As we have chosen the 5:2 diet and basically starve 2 days a week (600 cal, not enough to feed a reasonable sized cat) and this was one of those days.

El Fit Brothers VS El Fat Brothers
As you know, we like our food, and we we’ve been to some of the best places in the Northern Quarter to find it.

With El Food One away researching Moroccan food I was left flying solo for this visit, where and why did I choose where I chose? These are questions I have been asking myself a few times a day since that fateful day, and my friends please keep reading but do not expect an answer to them all.

All Aboard the Gravy Train
If you’ve seen the El Food Brothers Twitter recently, you’ll have seen that Mash Madness has taken its hold of us.
The quest was set, lets find the best mash in the Northern Quarter. Our first hit of mash is being provided by Pieminister, for two reasons, first, we love a good pun, and secondly, it says ‘Pie & Mash’ in the window.
