"One of my all time favorites is St. John, opened by Fergus Henderson and Trevor Gulliver in 1994. Located in an old Georgian-style smokehouse around the corner from the Smithfield meat market, the atmosphere is as rustic and humble as the spectacular food. The menu is filled with seemingly simple British dishes like pheasant and trotter pie."

"Devilled lamb’s kidneys are cooked just the right side of pink, great glistening lobes coated in a glossy slick of cayenne, mustard and Worcestershire sauce."
"Purist travel the globe for pioneering Brit-chef Fergus Henderson's nose-to-tail cuisine at this converted former smokehouse in Clerkenwell. Open since 1994, long-standing St. John signatures like pheasant and trotter pie appear stark on the plate, but arrive with aplomb."
"Purist travel the globe for pioneering Brit-chef Fergus Henderson's nose-to-tail cuisine at this converted former smokehouse in Clerkenwell. Finish with half a dozen golden madeleines."
"Purist travel the globe for pioneering Brit-chef Fergus Henderson's nose-to-tail cuisine at this converted former smokehouse in Clerkenwell. Finish with Eccles Cake and Lancashire cheese."
"The Eccles Cake & Lancashire Cheese was another winner, flaky, creamy and perfectly balanced."
"Some of the best Eccles cakes in London."
"Fergus Henderson of St John bakes another masterful Eccles, and suggests you eat it with Lancashire cheese, a wise and traditional match."
"I can still remember the first bite, and couldn’t wait to have one again."
"A stellar bread pudding drizzled with butterscotch sauce."
