  • Emma Sayle - Founder Of Killing Kittens on; How True Confidence In The Bedroom Can Translate To Power In The Boardroom & Crazy Stories Behind The Parties!
    Welcome back to The Go-To Weekend, your ultimate guide to making the most of your days off. Hosted by Sunday Times deputy food editor Hannah Evans and Foodism deputy editor Molly Codyre, we’re here delivering the hottest tips on where to go, what to eat, and what not to miss this weekend.We’re closing out our first season with a bang as we’re joined by Emma Sayle, founder of the iconic sex-positive community Killing Kittens. In this refreshingly unfiltered chat, Emma talks about sexual empowerment, the fine line between choice and performance in the age of social media, and how true confidence in the bedroom can translate to power in the boardroom. We unpack some of her wildest stories, including a particularly memorable London Fashion Week party involving a roomful of supermodels and how she ended up using a notorious venue run by a now-jailed socialite.Emma also takes us through her London little black book. She shares her love for the South Bank’s riverside views and food stalls, the late-night chaos of Pagliaccio on Wandsworth Bridge Road, and her go-to date spot Gordon’s Wine Bar, where the candlelit cellar and overflowing charcuterie boards never miss. For something a little more under the radar, she recommends CellarDoor, a tiny cabaret club tucked beneath Aldwych that looks like a public toilet from the outside but hosts unforgettable drag and live shows inside. Her pet peeve? People spending their weekends doomscrolling, or worse, going to silent discos.In this week’s Go-To Recs, Molly shouts out the Black Horse BMIs who are throwing a party to celebrate their third birthday with pop-up bars and music all weekend. We’ve also got a tip for your hungover Sunday: David Attenborough’s new ocean series, which is both soothing and staggering as he explores life beneath the surface. And Emma gives us a peek at the return of KK Cabaret, a decadent dinner and cabaret experience hosted in a country mansion near Bracknell - think three-course feasts, live performances, and a touch of erotic flair.This is our final episode of the season, but we’ll be back in mid-June with more spicy summer hangouts and unbeatable London tips. Until then, thank you for coming along for the ride.Celebrate your cocktails with a taste of Hepple - Buy Here - https://hepplespirits.com/collections/shop Hosted on Acast.

  • Sexual Masterchef - Exclusive Interview - Papal Flirtations - Clingfilmed Women & Butter Knifes!
    Welcome back to The Go-To Weekend, your ultimate guide to making the most of your days off. Hosted by Sunday Times deputy food editor Hannah Evans and Foodism deputy editor Molly Codyre, we’re here delivering the hottest tips on where to go, what to eat, and what not to miss this weekend.This week, we’re joined by the brilliantly chaotic Mr. Sexual Masterchef—anonymous meme king, online shit-stirrer, and unlikely voice of foodie reason. He walks us through a recent scandal involving a 9.7/10 fit rating, a TikTok voiceover gone wrong, and some serious backlash from the Café Mondo crowd. Things escalated fast, with deleted posts, AI-generated memes, and a lot of East London ego bruises along the way.We also talk Brighton—the city that gave him his foodie backbone—where he swears by the mutton curry at The Chilli Pickle, classic bistro vibes at Petit Pois, and the cult burger at Burger Brothers, so legendary the whole shop closed when the chef broke his arm. Back in London, we dissect the wildest thing we saw this week: 150 people queuing for 50 Kerry Gold butter knives, while Top Cuvée’s Easter egg hunt wrapped the block twice. Peak East London behaviour? Absolutely.Rounding off with our go-tos for the week, we’re watching Conclave in honour of the late “woke pope”, dreaming about martinis from Thayer and Elementary, eyeing up a dinner at 64 Good Street, and prepping for the London Marathon—where influencer Tommy Trees is trying to set a world record by running it in Crocs.

  • Missy Flynn - Parisian Nightmares, Making The Martini Sexy Again & Who Won The Inagural 'Gak Off'?
    Welcome back to The Go-To Weekend, your ultimate guide to making the most of your days off. Hosted by Sunday Times deputy food editor Hannah Evans and Foodism deputy editor Molly Codyre, we’re here delivering the hottest tips on where to go, what to eat, and what not to miss this weekend.This week we cover everything from foodie weekends in Marseille to space tourism. Whilst Hannah’s has become obsessed with a niche food industry meme account, we also somehow segue into the surreal journey to space of Katy Perry, Gayle King, and Jeff Bezos himself (spoiler: it’s not the feminist milestone it claims to be). There’s also a deep dive into the emotional chaos of cutting down a 400-year-old oak tree for a Toby Carvery car park.More exciting than all of that though, this week we’re joined by everyones favourite cocktail superstar Missy Flynn, bartender, restaurateur, and co-founder of Rita’s. She talks about hosting Harry Styles’ 18th birthday, how she mastered the world of mescal and tequila behind the bar at Crazy Homies, and the chaotic joy of restaurant pop-ups in Paris, LA, and NYC. She also shares her favourite London hangouts—from date nights at 40 Maltby Street to taking in the latest shows at 180 The Strand and her love for late-night noodles at Lanzhou.With all that plus our TV picks for your Sunday sofa sesh, an Easter egg shopping PSA, and the mystery of where Keanu Reeves recently had lunch, it looks like we’re in for a hell of a weekend with a generous pour of martini on the side.----------------Celebrate your cocktails with a taste of Hepple - Buy Here - https://hepplespirits.com/collections/shop Hosted on Acast.

Hosted by Sunday Times deputy food editor Hannah Evans and Foodism deputy editor Molly Codyre, we’re here delivering the hottest tips on where to go, what to eat, and what not to miss this weekend.This episode, we’re talking Croque Monsieur competitions in Canary Wharf, a bold new black bean collab from Ottolenghi x Bold Beans, a tragic ice cream incident on the way to Bruno’s wine bar and the only tariff that matters, the 10% Percy Pig tariff. There’s a deep dive into the viral men’s-only retreat in Bali (spoiler: it bans women, alcohol, and vegans), and a dissection of the rising trend of light-fingered diners helping themselves to everything from crab pickers to entire frogs made of cutlery.The most successful nightclub owner in the country Carlo Carello also joins us to spill all — how he created safe havens for the glitterati at spots like Boujis, Mahiki, and the new The Gallery (complete with secret pizzeria and Fabergé egg-shaped champagne towers). He shares the prep that goes into hosting celebs such as Lady Gaga, his secret to staying ahead of the sober rave trend, and his ultimate late-night snack (anchovies and sourdough, obviously). Plus, where he escapes to in Italy when London all gets a bit too London.Add in some travel regrets, vibrator-laced cereal boxes, foodie tips for Hydra and a few weekend go-to’s and avoidances — and you’ve got another classic Go-To Weekend episode full of the highs, lows, and weirdnesses of modern weekend culture.

  • Alexina Anatole - The Shocking 'Thing' Happening In Gordon Ramsay's New Toilets - Has London's Late Night Scene Vanished & The Worst Things You Can Do On A Date!
    Welcome back to The Go-To Weekend, your ultimate guide to making the most of your days off. Hosted by Sunday Times deputy food editor Hannah Evans and Foodism deputy editor Molly Codyre, we’re here delivering the hottest tips on where to go, what to eat, and what not to miss this weekend.This week, Hannah and Molly kick things off with a chat about The Beatles, following the announcement of Sam Mendes’s ambitious four-part film project—one film for each band member. With casting details emerging, they discuss whether this approach will give fresh insight into the Fab Four or just be another rehash of rock history. They also round up the best (and worst) April Fool’s Day pranks they fell for this year, including fake restaurant openings and absurd fashion collaborations that had them momentarily fooled.Then, it's onto a crucial topic: late-night eating in London. After a long night out, where’s the best place to grab a bite? They debate the merits of Beigel Bake on Brick Lane—iconic, but do the queues kill the vibe?—versus the newer, but equally excellent Sons + Daughters for an after-hours sandwich fix. They also throw in a few wild cards, like Noodle & Beer noodle bar, which serves steaming bowls of udon into the late hours, and Old Town 97 for a midnight roast duck feast.Then, they’re joined by Alexina Anatole—finance-professional-turned-food-writer, MasterChef finalist, and cookbook author—for a deep dive into her journey from the world of finance to food. She opens up about the realities of making money in cookbook publishing, the challenges of breaking into the industry, and how growing up in Paris shaped her love of bold flavours. Alexina also goes in on River Cafe, delivering an unfiltered critique of its service. While she fully respects the restaurant’s legacy, she argues that for the price point, diners deserve better than a dining experience that can sometimes feel cold and indifferent. The food? Undeniably good. The hospitality? In her view, inconsistent at best.Beyond that, Alexina shares her thoughts on dating and food, including the ultimate culinary red flags. She rounds things off with a list of her must-visit London restaurants, favourite art galleries, and go-to late-night spots. The conversation also delves into the complexities of flavour, with a discussion on umami, MSG, and how she builds layers of taste in her cooking.Hit play for your weekend fix of food, culture, and the best things to do in London.
