The culinary scene in Birmingham is special. This is a city famous for its curries, but there is a lot more to food in the City of 1000 Trades than the humble Balti, although there is plenty of that as well. This is a city that is gaining more and more Michelin Stars as the years go by while a healthy independent grub scene continues to flourish. These are very exciting times to be cooking in Birmingham, and ‘exciting’ isn’t strong enough a word to describe what it is like to be eating here right now.
