Wine Lists Turn To Social Media at L'Anima Restaurant In London
The L'Anima Italian restaurant in London has gone one step further than just letting you choose your wine from a touch screen; last month they ran an online contest so that blog readers (some of whom, we presume, were also restaurant goers) could choose three new wines for L'Anima to add to their impressive wine list.
And it wasn't just a case of voting for your favorite wine off a list. L'Anima went to the trouble of getting three pairs of wine experts to explain their favorites off the shortlist of nine, made these explanations into YouTube vids, and got voters to decide which video was the best.

Underground Naked Sushi Comes To London For A Season
With this week's news that Britain is on the cusp of economic recovery, it's inevitable that luxury dining will again emerge as part of the London dining landscape. Indeed two British entrepreneurs have opened up Flash Sushi, a dining experience where for 250 GBP per person ($410), tables of 12-24 diners enjoy the highest of high-end sushi.
The additional catch: Flash Sushi serves meals in the style of a traditional Japanese Nyotaimori restaurant, where the sushi is presented on and eaten off a naked woman.
Consider this another in our ongoing series of naked sushi columns, wherein we try to suppress the incessant pull of hygiene long enough to understand why people would drop incredible amounts of cash to eat raw fish off a human being.

Sanctum Soho's Restaurant is a Little Underwhelming
We liked Sanctum Soho when we looked around it back in April (a lot more than the New York Times did, as it turned out). We said at the time that, as long as the clientele were up to scratch, it held a lot of potential.
Last night we found ourselves back there, eating at No. 20, the restaurant. We had high hopes – it looked pretty fine when we saw it pre-opening, what with its sexy booths and scarlet bar – and we were looking forward to the puddings described in the Sunday Times as ”the sort of thing that could make all the difference on a first date”.
