Welcome back to The Go-To Weekend, your ultimate guide to making the most of your days off. Hosted by Sunday Times deputy food editor Hannah Evans and Foodism deputy editor Molly Codyre, we’re here delivering the hottest tips on where to go, what to eat, and what not to miss this weekend.

This episode, we’re talking Croque Monsieur competitions in Canary Wharf, a bold new black bean collab from Ottolenghi x Bold Beans, a tragic ice cream incident on the way to Bruno’s wine bar and the only tariff that matters, the 10% Percy Pig tariff. There’s a deep dive into the viral men’s-only retreat in Bali (spoiler: it bans women, alcohol, and vegans), and a dissection of the rising trend of light-fingered diners helping themselves to everything from crab pickers to entire frogs made of cutlery.

The most successful nightclub owner in the country Carlo Carello also joins us to spill all — how he created safe havens for the glitterati at spots like Boujis, Mahiki, and the new The Gallery (complete with secret pizzeria and Fabergé egg-shaped champagne towers). He shares the prep that goes into hosting celebs such as Lady Gaga, his secret to staying ahead of the sober rave trend, and his ultimate late-night snack (anchovies and sourdough, obviously). Plus, where he escapes to in Italy when London all gets a bit too London.

Add in some travel regrets, vibrator-laced cereal boxes, foodie tips for Hydra and a few weekend go-to’s and avoidances — and you’ve got another classic Go-To Weekend episode full of the highs, lows, and weirdnesses of modern weekend culture.
