I was scrolling recently when I saw a headline that made my heart sink a little. Another vegan food outlet shutting its doors. Not just any outlet either, but Neat Burger, the high-profile chain backed by none other than Lewis Hamilton.

The latest episode of Tell Me Where I’m Going (Wrong) is a jam packed conversation with topics swinging wildly all over the place!
Josh and I chat about taking supplements as a vegan and debate if they do anything or if it all just a scam. This includes a somewhat factual discussion on lanolin and why it isn’t suitable for vegans.
We also chat about the performances we saw from Coachella 2025 and the concept of TV show Glee being cursed.

If you’re anything like me, you’ve spent the past few months glowering at the clouds and wondering if the sun still knows how to shine.
But now the blue skies are finally creeping in, the days are stretching out, and London is slowly becoming a bit more bearable. Which means one thing. We all need to be at this legendary vegan pub, dining in their beer garden.

I spotted something in a London restaurant recently that made me do a double take.
It was the price of a vegan main dish and you might just be surprised by the reason for my surprise.
