Favourite place for a casual dinner?
Viet Grill

London-based guilty pleasure?
I tend not to feel very guilty, but if I did, I’d feel guilty about eating a whole box of Bread Ahead doughnuts.

Penne and tomato sauce.
We assume that Stevie was just being polite… and didn’t’ want to say that his actual favourite restaurants are Palatino, Rotorino, Craft London, and Pastaio.
