Bag blogger. It\u2019s been a week. What a week. Back and fore to Glasgow every day served to remind me what a great city it is.<\/p>\n

Buzzing. <\/p>\n

On Wednesday I had to do a photo shoot with Spinal Injuries Scotland<\/a> at Bellahouston Park in Glasgow  specifically with Kenny Heriot<\/a> an amazing athlete who is hand cycling round Scotland.  As you can see from the photo the sun shone- so you know what day that was in 2011!<\/p>\n

Afterwards Fiona the pr guru from Duff publicity<\/a> and I sloped off into town for lunch and  headed straight for Red Onion. <\/p>\n

Red Onion<\/a> is the place owned and run by my old mucker and chef to the stars John Quigley. With a CV that looks like the  Who\u2019s Who of culinary clients he aye has a story to tell.<\/p>\n

Personal chef to Bryan Adams and Guns N Roses amongst others\u2026you can imagine the tales are legendary. As is the man himself. So as we sat gossiping in the restaurant I was thrilled to see JQ himself come in who sat down and started the chat.<\/p>\n

Being a honed supermodel I stuffed a king prawn Caesar salad into my chops. Now that sounds simple doesn\u2019t it? But how many places do you go, order a Caesar and get something altogether floppy, bland and trying to be too big for it\u2019s boots. Not here though. Oh Lord it was good.  And much as I like it plain, and with chicken my most favourite combo is  prawns, anchovies, romaine lettuce, croutons and the dressing from heaven. Ten out of ten.<\/p>\n

Fiona had the risotto and was going on and on and on and on and on and on about how fabulous it was. <\/p>\n

So I think she was happy then.<\/p>\n

2 coffees later we were both full of food and smiling broadly.<\/p>\n

So if you\u2019re in central Glasgow then I really recommend Red Onion \u2013 top grub \u2013 great chef \u2013 good laugh. Ask for John and ask about Guns N Roses – you\u2019ll see what I mean.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
