Josh Barrie On the Sauce with Tom Parker Bowles: Could his posh squash be your new booze-free squeeze?
The easy way into this is to say Christopher's cordials are the Queen's favourite and leave it there. That should be propagation enough, though it must help that she had samples for free. Her son Tom Parker Bowles, one of the two entrepreneurs behind them, is generous like that. He and I are at The Devonshire so I can sample this newfangled squash. It doesn't help that the landlord — more art collector these days — Oisín Rogers is reluctant to allow us to open the blackcurrant and blueberry in case we lose our minds and make Guinness and black, a concoction banned on the premises. We distract Rogers with a painting of a horse and give it a go. The idea is that it prompts a Ratatouille moment, sending the drinker dizzyingly back to childhood glasses of cold Ribena. Then there's lemon and redcurrant, possibly fit for Wimbledon, and gooseberry and lime, the one I try to purloin while Parker Bowles — still enthralled by England's 22-run win over India a day earlier — is seeing about tickets to the next Test. This cricket fanatic tells me about how cordials were born in the Italian Renaissance, how they were conceived as medicines but hold a special place in British culture today. To that end it's a canny move: people are drinking less and searching for interesting options sans alcohol. Kombucha can't be the only answer. Cordials made with lemons from Aci Sant'Antonio, a bucolic commune in Sicily, might be an alternative. They cost £11.50 a bottle, which is a lot for squash, but then what do you expect? These are fancy creations to sip while watching cricket, picnicking on Clapham Common, or running amok in the gardens of Buckingham Palace. And yes, they'd work perfectly mixed with a good crémant. These will be stacked beside the Perelló olives and Ortiz tins in no time. They've been crafted with efficacy. Maybe your mum might like some. Bar snacks Wiltons Jermyn Street, SW1, A happy hour? At Wiltons? Even restaurants founded in 1742 embrace modernity every so often. Until August 30, the famed seafood joint is putting on a special menu of martinis and canapés between 5.30pm and 6.30pm from Monday to Saturday. It pairs, for £18 a go, variations on the classic cocktail with crostini with olive tapenade, devilled eggs with caviar, and smoked trout and soda bead. Wiltons's own gin — highly botanical — is available, so too Padstow and Belvedere vodka. Unmissable, I'd say. Oriole Slingsby Place, WC2, Jazz manouche fans should heed the call of Oriole this summer. The Covent Garden cocktail bar is launching a new 'Hot Club' series, with live performances every Thursday evening from 8pm. If you visit, have a slingsby sling (rum, cherry wine and grapefruit) and a sando — avoid the burger due to truffle oil — and punctuate your evening with a pre- or post-jazz carafe at Le Beaujolais, which is artfully nearby. Covent Garden, a good night out… who knew?

Rogers shuts down Rangers and Holliday hits a three-run homer in Orioles' 6-0 win
Associated Press BALTIMORE (AP) — Trevor Rogers allowed three hits in a career-high eight innings in his home debut, Jackson Holliday hit a three-run homer and drove in the game's first four runs and the Baltimore Orioles beat the Texas Rangers 6-0 on Monday night with the game temperature reaching 100 degrees. Rogers (1-0) made his third start and turned in the longest outing by an Oriole this season, throwing 72 of his 101 pitches for strikes. He struck out four and didn't issue a walk. Holliday's run-scoring double followed Chadwick Tromp's first hit with Baltimore, a two-out double in the third off Texas starter Patrick Corbin (4-7). Coby Mayo and Cedric Mullins had consecutive one-out singles in the fifth and Holliday hit his ninth homer one out later, a 402-foot shot the opposite way to left-center field for a 4-0 lead. He finished 3 for 5 for his seventh three-hit game this season. Corbin allowed five runs on nine hits in five innings. Rogers — the 13th overall pick in 2017 — was the runner-up to the Reds' Jonathan India for NL Rookie of the Year in 2021 after going 7-8 with a 2.64 ERA and 157 strikeouts in 133 innings. He had a 7-24 record with the Marlins after that before they traded him to Baltimore in July for Connor Norby and Kyle Stowers. Tromp was called up from Triple-A Norfolk before the game to replace catcher Maverick Handley, who was placed on the 7-day concussion list after colliding with the Yankees' Jazz Chisholm Jr. on a play at home in a 4-2 loss Sunday. Starting catcher Adley Rutschman was placed on the 10-day injured list on Saturday with a left oblique strain. Key moment Gunnar Henderson drew an intentional walk in the seventh to give the Orioles a team-record 156 straight games with a base on balls. The old mark was set spanning the 1955-56 seasons. Key stat Entering play, Orioles opponents were batting an AL-high .213 with two strikes. Up next The Rangers haven't announced a starter for Tuesday opposite Orioles RHP Charlie Morton (4-7, 5.64). ___ AP MLB: recommended

Chicago restaurants win three James Beard awards
Chicago restaurants including Oriole, Kumiko and Lem's Bar-B-Q won James Beard awards Monday night during a star-studded ceremony held at the Civic Opera House. Why it matters: The accolades can often bring in more business, tourism and tax revenue to a city that could use the extra dough. The big picture: The entire weekend of multiple Beard award ceremonies turned into celebrations of immigrants' contributions to American food culture at a time when they're under attack by the Trump administration. Outstanding Bar went to Julia Momosé, mixologist, chef and owner of the Japanese-inspired West Loop bar Kumiko. This was Momosé's second Beard after winning in 2022 for her book "The Way of the Cocktail: Japanese Traditions, Techniques, and Recipes." "This one is so much more special because it's about the whole team, current and past, and everyone who helped us even before we were open," Momosé tells Axios. "It's about our guests, our regulars, and those people who came in to give us a shot. It's such a beautiful community. And so this is just surreal." Best Chef Great Lakes went to Noah Sandoval of Oriole who sent a surrogate to accept and read his speech saying Sandoval is away, "focusing on improving and nurturing my mental health." The chef's message continued with words of respect to fellow nominees and push back to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Between the lines: Gov. JB Pritzker and Mayor Brandon Johnson also used their time on stage to highlight Chicago and the contributions of its immigrants. Bottom line: Chicago may have been the biggest winner of the weekend as thousands of food lovers flocked to our town to eat, drink and enjoy beautiful spring days.

Orioles Predicted to Trade Veteran Outfielder After Ryan Mountcastle News
Orioles Predicted to Trade Veteran Outfielder After Ryan Mountcastle News originally appeared on Athlon Sports. It's no secret that the Baltimore Orioles have been off their game this year, with a last-place start leading to the dismissal of manager Brandon Hyde. Advertisement Few things have gone right for the 2023 AL East champs, with star catcher Adley Rutschman hitting .203, which ranks last among qualified hitters. The Orioles' 5.38 ERA as a pitching staff is third worst in the league, shortly behind the historically-bad Colorado Rockies' 5.61. One of the bright spots has been outfielder Cedric Mullins, who had a strong April but weak stats in May. Mullins was placed on the 10-day IL on Friday, and a prediction surfaced about the long-time Oriole. Baltimore Orioles outfielder Cedric Mullins (31) hits a Hildred-Imagn Images Bleacher Report's Kerry Miller listed Mullins as one of the nine players likely to be on the move, along with Sandy Alcantara, Luis Robert Jr, and Mullins' teammate Ryan O'Hearn, among others. Advertisement The Orioles finished 54-108 in 2018 and seemingly tanked, with the hope that an influx of young talent would get them back to their winning ways. That seemed to arrive in 2022 and 2023, with the arrival of Rutschman, Gunnar Henderson, Grayson Rodriguez, Colton Cowser, Jordan Westburg and Jackson Holliday generating plenty optimism about the Orioles as a dynasty. Things haven't changed all that much, though injuries to Rodriguez, Cowser, Westburg and new acquisition Tyler O'Neill among others have left the O's depleted. First baseman Ryan Mountcastle was placed on the IL Saturday along with Mullins. Advertisement As the Orioles' injured list continues to grow, so will the calls for a near-complete sell for Mike Elias' team in a year that feels somewhat of a throwaway two months deep. Mullins, who will be a free agent after this season, seems likely to be dealt.

Orioles Place Cedric Mullins on Injured List
Orioles Place Cedric Mullins on Injured List originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Baltimore Orioles announced Friday that they have placed outfielder Cedric Mullins on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to May 29, due to a right hamstring strain. Advertisement Mullins is the corresponding move to a deal that the Orioles made recently by signing Cooper Hummel. To make room for Hummel, Baltimore has placed Cody Poteet on the 60-day injured list. Mullins is having an off year, to say the least, as he is accumulating a slash line of .232/.324/.448. Along with a shocking and disappointing start to their season, the Orioles can not afford to lose someone like Mullins, as he becomes the 11th Oriole to hit the IL. There is no timetable for him at this moment. For the second time in just this week alone, Baltimore and the 30-year-old Hummel agreed to a Major League contract. Hummel had originally signed with Baltimore earlier in the week after opting out of his minor league deal with the New York Yankees, but was quickly designated for assignment the next day. The Orioles currently stand dead last in the American League East with a 19-36 record. The O's begin a weekend series Friday against the Chicago White Sox at home and look to improve on their last 10-game stretch, going 4-6 at that time. This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on May 30, 2025, where it first appeared.
