Seven brunch spots with outdoor seating in Glasgow
From West End bakeries to new city centre openings, here are seven restaurants and cafes where you can sip iced coffees and enjoy eggs benedicts under the sun. Zique's Hinba 66 Hyndland Street With coffee roasted on the Hebridean Isle of Seil and a menu of brunch dishes including tomatoes on toast with red pesto and pickled peppers, or freshly baked croissants with Netherend Farm butter and jam, Zique's Hinba's is the perfect place to spend a lazy Saturday morning. If you're more tempted by a lie-in followed by small plates and cocktails in the evening, you can read our review of their dinner menu from last month here: Glasgow restaurant institution has new owners - how is the food? Singl-End 15 John Street or 263 Renfrew Street Serving at locations in Merchant City and Garnethill, Singl-end are long-established favourites of Glasgow's brunch scene. Whether you choose a pastry from the heavily-loaded baking display, or keep things savoury with skillet-baked eggs and chilli fennel sausage, a trip to these busy brunch spots is guaranteed to set you up for the day ahead. The city centre outdoor seating area, in particular, turns into a real sun trap when the warm weather hits. Sunny Acre 745 Pollokshaws Road In the Scotland-focused episode of the hit Netflix show, Somebody Feed Phil, actress Kelly Macdonald split a huge stack of cakes and bakes with host Phil Rosenthal at this Southside cafe. Anyone who has visited for themselves will understand why his enthusiasm began building with each bite. It's a popular place, which means securing a seat can be a difficult task, but slices of their homemade quiches and frittatas taste even better under the sun in the newly introduced outdoor seating area. The Wilson Street Pantry 6 Wilson Street If picture-perfect eggs are your favourite way to start the day, look no further than The Wilson Street Pantry in the city centre. Order them poached, fried, or scrambled on sourdough toast with optional extras of cold smoked salmon, feta cheese or link sausage. The team's specials are always worth a look too, with past creations pairing Corrie Mains eggs with chive, coriander, crab and smashed avocado or Thai basil cream cheese and crispy bacon bits. Partick Duck Club 27 Hyndland Street Just down the road from Zique's Hinba, the Partick Duck Club offers customers the chance to dine in quirky outdoor 'duck huts'. These booth-like benches look out towards Masnfield Park, making them a great choice for people watching while you tuck into a breakfast bun with homemade haggis, scrambled egg or beef dripping hash brown. The brunch menu is served all day, which means later on you can swap the coffee for a spicy Bloody Mary or fruity mimosa, if you fancy it. Cottonrake Cafe 717 Great Western Road There are plenty of fantastic brunch spots dotted along Great Western Road in Glasgow's West End, but the attention to detail and winning flavour combinations at Cottonrake earn them a place on this week's list. Think coconut and chia seed overnight oats with cherry compote and sweet nut dukkah, toasted rye topped with prosciutto, charred spring onion whipped cheese, hazelnut pesto and grilled nectarines, or grilled sourdough sandwiches with gruyere, cheddar & dijon mustard. The team has recently started opening in the evenings too, with a brand new dinner menu. Scran and Roadie 180 Saltmarket Previously located on London Road in the city's East End, Scran was known for regularly topping lists of Glasgow's best brunch spots. Although the team moved to a new unit last month, adding a selection of freshly made pizzas to their offering, there's no need for OG fans to worry. At their larger home just off Glasgow Green, you'll still find the team's best-selling brunch dishes from poached eggs with Stornoway black pudding to chicken salt hash browns topped with parmesan and truffle mayonnaise available from opening until 3 pm. As for the London Road spot? It's been taken over by the team behind Ho Lee Fook. More on that here: Barras street food sensation Ho Lee Fook to take over popular city cafe.

Montreal's smoked meat sandwich ranked among the best in the world
Montreal's Schwartz's Deli is famous for its delicious smoked meats. (Christinne Muschi/Bloomberg/Getty Images via CNN Newsource) Montreal's smoked meat sandwich is one of the top 25 in the world, according to a list released by American media network CNN. Sandwiched – excuse the pun – between South Africa's spatlo and New Orleans' po'boy, the outlet describes the Quebec staple as one that carnivores are sure to say 'oui' to. 'The best briskets used in a true Montreal smoked meat sandwich are said to soak for up to two weeks in brine and savoury aromatics such as coriander, peppercorn and garlic before being smoked and hand-sliced to go down in eternal sandwich glory,' CNN notes. This isn't the first time the city's iconic dish has been recognized on the international stage. Chef and author Anthony Bourdain once said, 'You can't not do this when you come to Montreal,' – referring to a smoked meat sandwich at Schwartz's Deli. In the Montreal episode of Somebody Feed Phil, Phil Rosenthal also visits Schwartz's, noting that no trip to Montreal would be otherwise complete. Montreal writer Mordecai Richler, in his novel Barney's Version, published in 1997, famously described the spices used in smoked meat as a 'maddening aphrodisiac' that should be bottled and copyrighted as 'Nectar of Judea.'

Phil Rosenthal might have never made Everybody Loves Raymond if he hadn't fallen asleep on a 300-year-old bed
Before he created his long-running sitcom Everybody Loves Raymond, Phil Rosenthal was a broke New York City theatre student who worked a number of odd jobs, like managing a deli and patrolling The Metropolitan Museum of Art as a security guard on the graveyard shift. Though he couldn't have known it at the time, his brief stint working at New York's largest art museum would have a significant impact on his future career as a TV writer — and it all has to do with how he got fired. "I thought I could stay up at night and have another job during the day, probably a theatre job that didn't pay anything," Rosenthal recalls in a live on-stage conversation with Q 's Tom Power at the Banff World Media Festival. "On the third day without sleep, I did not report back to my post after doing a route. I was asleep and they found me asleep in a period room, which was a replica of a 300-year-old room with [an antique] bed as part of the exhibit. And that's where they found me — on that bed." WATCH | Phil Rosenthal's full interview with Tom Power: In addition to losing three days of sleep, Rosenthal says he was also on cold medication that made him drowsy. When he saw the bed, he thought it'd be a good idea to lay down for a few minutes. But when he didn't return to his post after an hour and a half, museum staff started looking for him, concerned that maybe a crime was being committed (art thefts are often inside jobs). "I'm drooling on the pillow of this thing and I just remember looking up at this lady supervisor and thinking, 'How did she get in my room?'" he says. "The museum frowns on you touching the art, let alone sleeping on it. And so I was fired. It was the most humiliating thing that ever happened to me." Several years later, Rosenthal was living in Hollywood, trying to make it as an actor, but not having much luck. When his friend asked him if he'd like to collaborate on a spec script for the show Roseanne, he knew exactly what the story should be about. "John Goodman's character, the dad, they need extra money, and he gets a night job working as the night guard at the local museum and he falls asleep on a 300-year-old bed," Rosenthal explains. "We write this script. And people all over town read it and go, 'What an imagination!' And we got hired instantly on a sitcom." Today, Rosenthal's advice to emerging writers is simple. "Write as specifically as you can," he says. "Specificity is the key to being universal."

Somebody Explain Why Everybody Loves Phil Rosenthal
When Phil Rosenthal, host of the Netflix food and travel show 'Somebody Feed Phil' and creator of the enduring sitcom 'Everybody Loves Raymond,' began selling out live shows last year, no one was more surprised than Ray Romano. Mr. Romano, the sitcom's star, showed up at the Paramount concert hall on Long Island, expecting to stir up excitement among fans and help out during the Q&A. No one had a question for him, he said; they just wanted to tell Phil about their favorite places to eat in Lisbon or Nashville. 'How did this happen?' the actor asked me over the phone last week. 'I've been doing stand-up for 30 years. He goes to Poland and eats meatloaf and sells out theaters around the world?' There is no shortage of armchair-travel television: It pours from Hulu, Amazon Prime, National Geographic and Food Network, not to mention the fire hose that is social media. But somehow, Mr. Rosenthal has broken through and become a global star. Season 8 of his show dropped on June 18, making it the longest-running unscripted show on Netflix. In August he'll start a North American tour, and a second cookbook, 'Phil's Favorites' — the first was a New York Times best seller — will come out in November. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.
