I love to eat and I love to ride my bike. In the last few years I clocked up tens of thousands of kilometers and eaten some of the very best food the world has to offer. I hope all these years of pedal-powered culinary exploration have ensured that my taste-buds have become as well-honed as my prominent calves.
In order to share the very best of my food finds with you The Hungry Cyclist Wheel of Approval is an award given to those who provide, what I believe to be, exceptional food. From back-street noodle bars to sweaty truck-stops, roadside taco stands to decedent bistros, hidden pubs to ice cream parlous, local markets to Michelin Stars; anyone with sharing their passion for food is eligible for an award and on this page you can read about the places and people I believe deserve A Hungry Cyclist Wheel of Approval.
