Texas Joe's BBQ Pop-up at Brewdog Shoreditch

Texas Joe (Walters), who appeared on Dragon's Den earlier this year, is hosting a long-running BBQ Pop-up at Brewdog Shoreditch, prior to (hopefully) opening a national chain.  I visited a few days ago, had a chat with Joe and can heartily recommend it.  Their special smoker certainly makes a difference, and the meat is incredible, as is their special secret underground dining room.  See the menu below - click to enlarge - & Go!

""Since appearing on Dragon's Den the response to our Texan jerky has been so phenomenal that we knew we had to expand our offering and bring a little Southern hospitality to London. With our first pop-up BBQ joint we're giving people a taste of authentic Texan BBQ and we know they are going to love it."
The first Texas Joe's BBQ will be hosted at BrewDog Shoreditch, and the company plans to open a series of standalone restaurants in the coming months. The opening of his first pop-up BBQ joint completes a rollercoaster period for the cowboy, which saw him officially launch his jerky company and secure a nationwide deal with Sainsbury's to stock his product.
Joe says: "It's great to be working with James, someone who is not only a hugely successful businessman but who is also willing to saddle up and pursue a dream without any fear of being bucked. Hosting our first pop-up BBQ at BrewDog Shoreditch was a no-brainer. BrewDog fans know quality when they taste it, and we're sure they will enjoy getting their teeth into our slow cooked meats."
James Watt from Brewdog says:  "BrewDog and Texas Joe's is a pairing of epic proportions. We both believe in creating big, bold flavours that pack a punch, and we are thrilled to host Joe's first pop-up BBQ in our Shoreditch bar. Drop in and meet the cowboy himself; Texas Joe is the real deal.""

When - 7 days a week 12pm - 10pm

Where - Brewdog Shoreditch, 51 Bethnal Green Road, E1 6LA

The Artist's Dining Room Supper Club's Surreal Halloween Dinner near Broadway Market

The Artist Dining Room, the supper club which themes meals around specific artists, is back with a Halloween dinner themed around the work of German Dada and Surrealist artist Kurt Schwitters.  Take a look at the menu below - this is not your typical supper club!  Tickets are £36.50, and it's BYOB.

"Yinka Shonibare MBE's project space Guest Projects joins creative forces with London-based chefs to hold a series of sensory tingling supper clubs which will be much more than just a feast for the palate, but for the eyes, ears, imagination and beyond. The Artist Dining Room supper club at Guest Projects opens a space where creative minds can engage with the ideas of a well known artist through food. 
To coincide with his most inspiring month, the last Thursday in October will host The Artist Dining Room inspired by German Dada and Surrealist artist Kurt Schwitters. Embracing Schwitters' life and works throughout the evening, Guest Chef Claudia Stachelhaus of The White Room has crafted a menu offering a journey for the palate. Guest Host artist and musician Florian Kaplick will lead guests though a journey of music and performance, uncovering the world of Schwitters. Join us in celebrating a very Dada Halloween.
Born in Hanover in 1887, Kurt Schwitters attended the Dresden Academy of Art and at the end of the First World War made contact with Dada groups in Europe. During his lifetime, he worked across many different art disciplines, creative traditions, art forms and media, and maintained an extraordinary output of collages, paintings, poetry, performance, audio arts, theatre, photography, sculpture, installation projects. Richard Hamilton, Sir Peter Blake, Eduardo Paolozzi, Robert Rauschenberg and others acknowledge Schwitters' influence on the development of Pop Art in the early 1960s. Schwitters' influence on the development of contemporary art, sculpture and architecture continues to be widely acknowledged.
This event is in collaboration with Merz Barn.

Bookstock's Halloween Literary Night near Great Portland Street

Bookstock is an occasional but regular literary night featuring 4 authors reading and talking about their work.  It's organised by the very well established North London Reading Group.  Previous events have been very popular and this time there's some comedy and spooky stories, and there's a book swap too, so bring along a book or two to swap.  (NOT 'One Day' - everyone always brings 'One Day' to Book Swaps!)

"Our Bookstock literary night is popping up for Hallowe'en in Euston on Saturday 19 October. 
Lewis Harrison-Barker and the cast behind spooky Edinburgh fringe improv B-Movie 'They Came With Outer Script' will perform comedy, tell spooky stories, and introduce the following authors whose books will each chill you in different ways:
* Elanor Dymott - author of the acclaimed 'Every Contact Leaves Without a Trace' which has been compared to Donna Tartt's cult classic 'The Secret History'
* Alexia Carsale - writer of 'The Bone Dragon', a blend of psychological thriller and fairytale told from a 14 year old girl's viewpoint
* Helen Smith - author of "modern day Agatha Christie" Invitation to Die, which is set at a Bloomsbury conference and features bodies and red herrings aplenty
* Terry Grimwood - horror writer whose 'Axe' concerns a failed rock star who stumbles upon a 'killer' riff
* Amy Bird - exciting new novelist behind the chilling, twisty life-swap debut 'Yours Is Mine'
The action takes place at The Green Man pub opposite Great Portland St station in Euston, and there will also be book signings and the chance to meet and swap books (and mobile numbers?) with kindred 'spirits'. And pumpkins."

When - Saturday 19th October, from 7pm

Where - The Green Man, 383 Euston Rd, London, NW1 3AU

Tickets - £6 in advance from here, £7 on the door
