Brussels Sprouts Worth Driving For

Jonathan Gold visits Freddy Smalls , one of the many gastro-pubs featuring craft cocktails and bar bites to open this year. Although predominantly a drinking establishment, Jonathan raves about the BBQ cashews and the fried brussel sprouts. He also enjoys the charcuterie and the crisp pork belly with abalone.

Jonathan Gold visits Freddy Smalls, one of the many gastro-pubs featuring craft cocktails and bar bites to open this year. Although predominantly a drinking establishment, Jonathan raves about the BBQ cashews and the fried brussel sprouts. He also enjoys the charcuterie and the crisp pork belly with abalone. He describes "Reuben's Gluttony" -- which combines corned beef, bone marrow, yorkshire pudding and sauerkraut -- as the ultimate boy food. You can hear his full restaurant review on our Good Food on the Road page.
