A new opening from the team behind The Cheese Bar, Pick & Cheese, a cheese-laden conveyor belt in Covent Garden. Forget your traditional cheese and wine bar: Mathew Carver, known for championing the best of British cheese, is ripping up the rulebook with Pick & Cheese, the world’s first cheese conveyor belt at the highly-anticipated Seven Dials Market from the team behind KERB.

Opening in September 2019, Pick & Cheese will give each guest a bespoke cheese experience: plate after plate of small producer cheese will wind their way around the restaurant atop a 40 metre-long electronic belt, as diners follow Mathew’s suggested tasting flights, or simply help themselves to that day’s selection as it passes their table.

Conveyor belts can be used for other food that just sushi! Are you going to London this fall and you love to try different cheeses from the UK? Pick & Cheese is where you should eat!

Start-up Wild Type hosted a private taste event last month in Portland (Oregon) at which chefs made the world’s first sushi, created with cellular agriculture technology. They served the first pound of lab-grown fish thus, guests were treated to a variety of cell-based salmon dishes.

San Francisco start-up Wild Type began its research and development for the lab-grown fish in 2018 and this tasting event marks the first large-scale test of their innovative new salmon product. The mission of Wild Type is to make the most delicious and sustainable fish and meat on the planet, that means creating a product that not only tastes great, but one that we can all feel good about eating. They believe this is the most impactful way to address the pressing challenges of our generation; climate change, food security, and health. Salmon was a natural place to begin given the challenges the fish is facing in the wild.
