After 25 years and roughly 25 trips across the Atlantic — including one where he ran out of money and had to beg his parents from a London phone box and another that ended with a $1,200 phone bill — Jonathan Thomas has learned how to travel Britain without going broke. In this special bonus episode, he introduces the completely rewritten third edition of 101 Budget Britain Travel Tips, walks through what's new (including 30–40 tips that have never been in the book before), and reads 10 of his favorite tips covering everything from the mandatory new Electronic Travel Authorization to the airport drop-off fee that cost him £140, why you don't need an Oyster card anymore, and the supermarket meal deal hack that saves his family hundreds every trip. Whether you're planning your first visit or your twentieth, this is the episode to listen to before you book. Links 101 Budget Britain Travel Tips, 3rd Edition — Anglotopia Store product page (paperback, ebook pack, and bundle with 101 London Travel Tips) 101 Budget Britain Travel Tips on Amazon — Paperback, Kindle, and Audible audiobook 101 London Travel Tips — Companion book (link to store page and/or Amazon) 101 Budget Britain Travel Tips + 101 London Travel Tips Bundle — Anglotopia Store UK ETA Official App — iOS App Store / Google Play (official UK government app, not third-party services) Royal Oak Foundation — royaloak.org (US membership for free National Trust admission). Friends of Anglotopia Club — Anglotopia membership for early podcast access and exclusive content Previous Anglotopia Podcast Episode on the UK ETA Takeaways This is a complete rewrite, not just an update. The 3rd edition has 30–40 brand new tips never in the book before, the free attractions lists have been consolidated into a master appendix by country, and the book is roughly twice as thick as the previous edition. The UK's Electronic Travel Authorization is now mandatory. As of February 24, 2026, it is being strictly enforced. If you don't have one, you're not boarding the plane. Use the official UK government app — it costs £16. Anyone charging more is a third-party service skimming money. Airport drop-off fees can sting you badly. Jonathan got hit with a £140 total charge (£100 penalty + £40 rental car processing fee) for forgetting to pay the Heathrow drop-off fee within 24 hours. The cameras scan your license plate and the bill goes to the rental car company. You don't need an Oyster card anymore. Contactless credit/debit cards now work on London's entire transport network with the same daily fare caps. Just tap in and tap out — it settles up at the end of the day at no more than about £7–8. Book trains up to 12 weeks out to save money. A same-day journey can cost 4–5 times more than one booked a month or two in advance. Jonathan recommends open tickets for flexibility since trains are frequently late or cancelled. Never pay in US dollars at a British cash register. Dynamic currency conversion is a legal scam — the merchant's bank sets the exchange rate and skims money. Always pay in pounds and let your credit card convert at the interbank rate. Supermarket meal deals are one of Europe's best budget secrets. Lunch deals (sandwich + drink + snack) run £3–4. Dinner deals for two with a main, side, dessert, and wine cost £10–15. Jonathan's family hits the grocery store as one of their first stops every trip. Join Royal Oak, English Heritage, and Historic Houses before your trip. A Royal Oak Foundation membership (under $100/year) gets you free entry to all National Trust properties. English Heritage has an overseas visitor pass. Historic Houses membership covers ~300–400 privately owned stately homes including Highclere Castle (Downton Abbey). Premier Inn is the budget traveler's best friend. Consistent quality, breakfast included, advance rates from £35/night. Not glamorous, but reliable and spread across hundreds of locations near major cities and attractions. Budget travel isn't about suffering — it's about spending smart. The book's philosophy is to save money on the things that don't matter (airport snacks, dynamic currency conversion, overpriced afternoon tea) so you can spend more on the things that do (comfortable lodging, rental cars, experiences, souvenirs). Soundbites "We came home and got our phone bill the next month — we had a $1,200 phone bill from all of our adventures in Britain. And we didn't know. This is 2008, 2009 — we just didn't know." — Jonathan on the expensive lessons that inspired the book. "Budget travel isn't about suffering. It's about spending money on the things that matter and refusing to waste money on the elements of your trip that you don't need to." — Jonathan on the book's core philosophy. "A family of four could easily spend $10,000 on a one to two week trip to Britain without even trying. Our philosophy with this book is that it doesn't have to cost that much." — Jonathan on why the book exists. "There's a new rule for visiting Britain and many Americans still don't know about it. If you don't have the ETA and you show up at the airport, you're not going." — Jonathan on the mandatory Electronic Travel Authorization. "Anyone charging you a fee more than 16 pounds to do this is ripping you off. You do this yourself. Use the official app." — Jonathan on avoiding third-party ETA services. "Making it easier to drop my wife off with the bags at the terminal cost us 140 pounds. We were not amused." — Jonathan on his personal airport drop-off fee disaster. "You don't need to buy the Oyster card in advance. You don't need to buy it when you get there. Just use your credit card as long as you have tap on it." — Jonathan on contactless fare caps replacing the Oyster card. "Do not pay in US dollars. Never pay in US dollars. You're overpaying. Pay in pounds." — Jonathan on the dynamic currency conversion scam. "We did the Fortnum & Mason high tea and it was 85 pounds per person, which is absurd. You can get an afternoon tea for half that or a third of that in many other places." — Jonathan on saving money on afternoon tea. "I had to make a panicked phone call to my parents from a London phone box begging for them to deposit my paycheck early so that we could have money to finish our trip." — Jonathan on running out of money as a 21-year-old traveler.

In this episode of Car Con Carne, James VanOsdol welcomes James Beard Award-winning food writer Mike Gebert to discuss his ambitious new book, The Chicago Way: An Oral History of Chicago Dining. The conversation explores the evolution of Chicago’s culinary identity, from the high-stakes "Mad Men" era of the 1960s to the modern, diverse food scene of 2026. Key Highlights: The Evolution of Chicago Dining: Gebert explains how he tracked the city’s change through its restaurants, starting with the formal, male-dominated French dining scene and moving through the neighborhoods that restaurants helped put on the map. Legendary Personalities: The episode dives into the "outsized personalities" of Chicago’s most famous chefs, including: Charlie Trotter: Discussion of his complicated legacy, intense kitchen culture, and the "PTSD" some former staff still carry. Louis Szathmary: The story of Chicago's first celebrity chef at The Bakery and his surprising connection to Stouffer’s spinach souffle. Rick Bayless and Tony Mantuano: How they acted as the "anti-Trotters" by fostering reasonable workplaces and focusing on local produce and peasant cuisines. Neighborhood Transformations: Gebert and James discuss how dining pioneered areas like River North (thanks to Gordon Sinclair and developer Al Friedman) and the ongoing gentrification patterns in neighborhoods like Rogers Park and Bronzeville. The "Chicago Way" of Dining: Mike defines the city's unique dining spirit as a blend of high-end artistry and blue-collar work ethic—where even at the finest restaurants, the goal is for the experience to be unpretentious and, above all, fun.

Crystal Rivers | Kingdom Mysteries | Feb 18, 2026 You are being invited to live as someone who understands that spiritual life must be fed intentionally, just as the body requires food. Growth does not come from observing truth from a distance but from receiving it deeply, allowing it to fill your inner life until it reshapes how you think, respond, and desire. The call is to approach God with hunger, to come expecting nourishment that strengthens conviction, restores clarity, and renews purpose. When you intentionally fill your heart with what is life-giving, everything that once competed for your attention begins to lose influence, because what dominates the inner world eventually governs the outward life. You must learn to recognize that many struggles are rooted in misplaced hunger. The human heart naturally reaches for something when it feels empty, but distractions, achievements, entertainment, or recognition cannot satisfy what only divine presence can fill. The lesson is to redirect that instinct—to pause before reaching for noise or comfort and instead turn toward silence, prayer, reflection, and engagement with the Word. In doing so, you begin to retrain your desires. What once felt difficult gradually becomes natural, and what once seemed distant becomes personal and immediate. Peace is presented not as the absence of conflict but as the result of order being established within you. True peace comes when competing voices are silenced and your focus becomes single-hearted. This requires letting go of old patterns and allowing the process of inner cleansing to take place. When light increases, darkness loses its footing; when truth is embraced, confusion weakens; when conviction grows, compromise becomes uncomfortable. Growth often feels like an internal confrontation because transformation always requires the surrender of something lesser so that something greater can take its place. You are also meant to understand that spiritual hunger grows through practice. When you consistently make space for God—especially in ordinary moments—you create conditions where awareness deepens. Time spent in prayer or reflection may begin as discipline, but with persistence it becomes delight. There comes a point where you lose track of time not because you are forcing devotion but because your heart has found rest in presence. This is where zeal is renewed, where motivation stops being external pressure and becomes inward desire. The journey calls for sincerity. It is easy to pursue spiritual things for recognition, approval, or identity, yet true transformation happens in hidden places where no audience exists. The goal is not appearance but authenticity—seeking God for God alone. When devotion becomes genuine, your attention, imagination, and emotional energy begin to align with divine priorities. Even prosperity, responsibility, or success should not be allowed to replace intimacy; many things can be delegated, but communion with God cannot. There is also an invitation to move beyond spiritual complacency. Do not settle for memories of past encounters or seasons of growth that have already passed. Hunger must be renewed continually. Ask for fresh desire, fresh understanding, and a renewed sense of wonder. Spiritual life is not meant to plateau; it is meant to deepen. The more you respond to this call, the more you realize that fullness is available, not as a distant promise but as a present reality for those willing to pursue it wholeheartedly. You are encouraged to cultivate an internal posture of expectancy—approaching each day as one who sits at a prepared table. Come ready to receive wisdom, correction, encouragement, and strength. Let your inner life be filled with what brings life, and allow that overflow to shape how you speak, think, and live. In times of weakness, return to the source rather than retreat into distraction; in times of abundance, remain anchored so that comfort does not dull devotion. Ultimately, the message is simple but demanding: choose depth over distraction, hunger over apathy, and presence over performance. Make room for a living relationship that transforms you from the inside out. As you do, your life becomes marked by clarity, purpose, fervency, and peace—a life that is sustained not by fleeting emotion but by continual nourishment, steady devotion, and a heart that has learned to seek first what truly satisfies. http://www.caveadullam.org/zoom

The Chicago Way: An Oral History of Chicago Dining Michael Gebert From a city associated with steak and the stockyards, Chicago has become a capitol of innovative, even avant-garde cuisine—but how? That's the story that James Beard-winning Chicago food journalist Michael Gebert tells in The Chicago Way: An Oral History of Chicago Dining (Agate, $36.00). https://www.agatepublishing.com/97815728…/the-chicago-way/ The story goes back sixty-plus years, beginning with Chicago's first celebrity chef, Louis Szathmary, whose The Bakery would help establish a gang-ridden neighborhood called Lincoln Park as the home of what were soon to be called “yuppies.” From there, ersatz “Continental” cuisine gave way to authentic French cooking under chef-owners like Jean Banchet and Jovan Trboyevic. In turn, young American chefs like Charlie Trotter and Michael Foley would develop a similarly artisanal form of American cooking, while chefs like Rick Bayless and Tony Mantuano brought us authentic cuisine from other countries, helping to develop farmers markets and wine culture—as well as hot dining neighborhoods. Gebert interviewed over 200 chefs, diners, and media and real estate figures, including Rick Bayless, Grant Achatz, Stephanie Izard, Paul Kahan and Culinary Historians of Chicago's president and vice-president Scott Warner and Cathy Lambrecht to tell their story in their own words. His network throughout the Chicago food world offers a unique inside look at how our restaurants changed Chicago—and the world. Biography: Michael Gebert is the editor of Fooditor and a James Beard Award-winning food writer and video producer. He was also an editor of Grub Street Chicago, a contributor to publications such as Chicago Magazine and the Chicago Reader, and a founder of the online culinary chat site LTHForum.

On this episode of The LA Food Podcast, Luca Servodio is joined by food reporter Karen Palmer to break down the viral LA dining discourse sparked by Kerry Rose Schwartz (@comfywithkerry) and her claim that “LA fine dining is a scam.”We dig into why Kerry's videos exploded, the pushback from chefs like Jeremy Fox, and what the backlash reveals about hype culture, pricing, influencer power, and the widening expectation gap facing Los Angeles restaurants. Is this a needed reality check for diners—or damaging rhetoric during a brutal moment for the industry?Karen also shares where she's been eating lately, including Broken Spanish Comedor, a return visit to Ronan, cocktails at Bar Benjamin, and what makes a restaurant worth revisiting beyond the hype cycle. Luca recaps recent meals at Napa Rose at Disneyland post-renovation, Darling by Sean Brock, and an accidental Bravo-side quest at SUR.In Chef's Kiss / Big Miss, we weigh in on the Crenshaw Food Hub and its community-first food model, Marco Pierre White going viral while eating McDonald's, the rise of all-day cafés reshaping American dining, and the latest wave of algorithm-friendly “liquid food” and meal-replacement culture. A wide-ranging, opinionated conversation about what's actually worth eating—and talking about—in LA right now.We also discuss Karen's latest on Hermon's and The Rainforest Cafe (lol).

Chef Tyler Akin has a long and impressive bio. Earlier in his career, he worked at Zahav in Philadelphia and Mini Bar and Komi in D.C. More recently, he opened Bastia in Philadelphia's Hotel Anna & Bel, which helped solidify his role in redefining hotel dining. But a lot is going on behind the scenes with Akin. Many of his projects he describes as "white label," meaning he's brought on to create a signature dish, design a kitchen, or consult on food costs. Or he's hired to open a new restaurant, from hiring to menu development and branding. Tyler discusses how he juggles these projects and what he's looking for next with guest host Gloria Dawson.
