The Rib Man, Brick Lane

Verdict - Not necessarily what you would automatically expect from something labelled as "ribs" as they are slow cooked over night to reduce the ribs into more of a pulled pork consistency. Ask for some of his special "Holy Fuck" hot sauce for an explosion of heat. Not for the faint hearted, and almost as famous as the Rib Mans rib meat rolls, for good reason. 

Cost - A Fiver 

Location - Either at Brick Lane on Sundays, or Eat Street on Thursdays. Keep an eye on his site The Rib Man for more details.

Pizza Pilgrims, Berwick Street

Pizza Pilgrims

Verdict - Run by two brothers and a friend, these guys went all the way down to Sicily to get their Piaggio Ape pizza van and drove it the whole 4000 miles back to London. Having picked up the tricks of the trade in Naples, these guys dish up excellent pizzas just big enough to satisfy one mans appetite. With rotating specials, and some interesting partnerships in the pipeline, keep an eye on these guys for a refreshing London version of the old Neapolitan pizzas.

Cost - £5-£6

Location - Normally on Berwick Street Market during the week, but often wheels itself around London. Keep an eye on their twitter page for updates.
