Bites: Why foodies are looking west
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.Whiteleys, the once-sorry shopping centre in Bayswater, west London, continues to tart itself up for food lovers. The process that began late last year with the opening of Le Café Anglais continues with the opening of Food Inc (pictured). The work of Dominic Ford (ex-head honcho of Harvey Nicks' food retail), Food Inc is a posh food emporium exploded into separate specialist counters on what was the ground floor of the old department store, with a café to follow.
Meanwhile, up in Leeds, Anthony Flinn (the chef whose rapidly expanding empire in the aspiring West Yorkshire capital already includes Anthony's, Anthony's at Flannels and Anthony's Patisserie) is to transform the ground floor of the recently restored Corn Exchange into £1m-worth of food retail, lounge bar and brasserie. Dubbed "Piazza de résistance" by the Yorkshire Evening Post, The Piazza by Anthony is planned to open well in time for the Christmas shopping season.
