Sophies Steak House x2I have eaten there 2x in 2 days! On my first visit, I elbowed Frank Lampard at the bar unknowingly. I thought I recognised him from somewhere but couldn't place him - I recognise no celebrities unless someone points them out to me!

His friend gave me a look when I came in as he must've thought I was a big fan - I had my trainers in a Chelsea FC bag, (I got it ages ago when I went to the game with work). JLo didn't recognise him either so we just happily chatted and drank our drinks at the bar. He is quite cute in person.

My second visit was to the Covent Garden location for an early dinner. The food and service was just divine both times. The steaks are amazing, they remind me of cottage bbqs back home, the rib eye steak is just gorgeous there and the chips are also addictive...soo good.

On my second visit we shared the Mississippi Mudsling chocolate dessert which was also tres yummy! Oh what a great foodie weekend. I like this Sophie, am going to Google her to find out more. As for Lampy, he scored a goal at the game today and Kent said the crowd chanted a song with his name in it...awwh cute. Next time I will flirt a little more, he is single now and quite fit.

Get on down to Sophie's Steak House, I would visit the Chelsea location as the crowd is much more interesting.

GO Chelsea
I was lucky enough to win tickets to a Chelsea game a week or two ago, seats were in the executive suite which included pre game drinks and dinner, half time drinks and dessert and more food and wine at the end of the game. Not a bad way to see the game indeed, although I may have overindulged a little on the brownies, cookies and mince pies at the end!

I wasn't too impressed with the actual dinner, I ordered a curry which wasn't too tasty, but the desserts and wine were superb. There were some Chelsea players around for pre-game people watching and some interesting characters seated at our table who made the night entertaining.

It was my first football game in the UK and was quite an experience, I think it was a Premiership game? It was similar to the games that I went to in TO for the Toronto FC, but 100x more raucous, rowdy and fun. You can feel the passion of the fans here much more. Fans from opposing teams are seperated and made to use seperate gates; with lots of riot police, police on foot and police on horses you can feel the excitement and tension in the air, I never knew we had that many police in the city?! Quite an experience and a great game that went to penalty kicks. We even sat a few rows behind the glitzy and glam German footballer, Michael Ballack - he's quite the pretty boy.

Our wine was a 2004 Rioja from Spain called Dinastia Vivanco. The wine ages for 16 months in French and American oak barrels and then spends another 6 months in the cellar. I recommend trying it as it was fab, you can also visit the Vivanco family's website to find out more.
