00:00 I think folk want to try different things.
00:02 They don't want to just eat your bog standard food anymore.
00:05 I'm Andy, I'm the head chef here at Lebowski's in Finiston.
00:08 Lebowski's is a bar and restaurant.
00:11 And the food we do is a mixture between street food
00:15 and your classic Americana-style burgers.
00:18 The street food side is a lot of small plates.
00:20 Not like tapas style, but I recommend two or three wee plates
00:25 to have a filming, because it's just nice wee light bites.
00:28 And it's just nice food, fun food too.
00:31 So the highlights of the menu, definitely the small plates.
00:34 I really like them. They're really popular.
00:36 So it's a different take.
00:39 It's a more refined version of street food, so it's not slapped ash.
00:42 It's quite nicely played, really nice cooking techniques.
00:47 Value for money on them.
00:48 Say you're going out for a night out, you're going to look weird next to the hydro.
00:51 So if you're going to go at a gig, you don't want to have a big massive meal.
00:55 So just a couple of wee plates fill you up.
00:57 Aye, it's something different.
00:58 We'll have a look at what's happening, say like hydro or Armadale, SEC, etc.
01:03 And we'll come up with a special that is in theme with what's happening.
01:08 A couple of weeks ago we had a Hot Wheels monster truck on.
01:13 So we done a hot burger with monster munch crisps on it, things like that.
01:17 We had Shania Twain playing last year and we done the Shania burger,
01:21 which was really, really popular.
01:24 That was like a Canada-based burger with waffles and maple syrup and stuff like that.
01:29 Definitely people from Glasgow, they like value for money.
01:33 They don't like getting ripped off, that's for sure.
01:36 So one of the newest things we've got, we've got a £5 lunch menu on,
01:40 Monday to Friday, 12 to 4.
01:42 And you come in, it's open sandwiches for a fiver.
01:44 It's really good value.
01:46 It's a really nice, tasty meal.
01:48 Definitely these days people are more aware of what's happening in the world with food,
01:52 like with social media and cooking programmes on the telly.
01:56 So I think folk want to try different things.
01:59 They don't want to just eat bog-standard food anymore.
02:01 It's value for money street food.
02:05 And you can get a chance to try a lot of different things,
02:07 different cultural foods, different flavours you might not be used to.
02:11 I like a lot of Asian, Pan-Asian cooking, so I like to try and bring a lot of that into my food.
02:16 I think it's in the last few years, Finiston, this bit of Gower Street's got really popular.
02:21 There is such a wide variety.
02:23 You go a couple of shops up, you've got fish restaurants, you've got steak houses,
02:28 you've got Mexican ramen.
02:31 So there is a wide variety of what you can have.
02:34 In the city centre, you're a wee bit restricted.
02:38 Maybe it's like pizza places, burger places, things like that.
02:41 But there's a big, big different variety of shops up here that you can go to.
02:46 And you could probably eat out every night for a couple of months and try something different.
02:51 You're right up into the party crows.
