Bites: When Amy sang for her supper
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The London Restaurant Awards are back. Or rather they will be, on 1 September. The black-tie do that celebrates the cream of the capital's dining scene has been in limbo since April 2005, when a fresh-faced Amy Winehouse (pictured) provided the musical interlude to the ITV-televised event.
Now underwritten by investment group aAIM (previous sponsor Tio Pepe decided it had better things to spend its sherry money on), the event will include gongs for Restaurant of the Year (won in 2005 by Amaya, the Indian that went on to net a Michelin star), Outstanding London Chef (Tong Chee Hwee of Hakkasan three years ago) and Best New Restaurant (Amaya, again – didn't it do well!) and will, as before, be judged by a panel of critics, including The New Review's very own Terry Durack.
And more good news for the capital: this Wednesday, the venerable Good Food Guide, surveyor of Britain's best eating places since 1951, is to publish its very first dedicated guide to the city.
