If Grace and Flavour learned anything during 2014, it was ‘admit one’s limitations’. I tried, heaven knows, to peruse all of the approximately 216 new London restaurant openings this year. I gave it my best shot. I ate ribs in a bib, I fondued in Fulham, I did Persian in Penge. I wrestled umpteen uppity Soho bookings lines. I twisted an ankle at Chiltern Firehouse and informed Herman Ze German his wurst was not the best. And now, sitting on a toadstool in a pop-up wigwam, all I have to show for it are a pot belly and this 2014 Best of… list.
