Well, it seems trash food is back. From Mac 'n' Cheese to burgers, dawgs and southern fried everything - we're getting trashed this weekend. Otherwise we have some meatier options, a party in W11, a desert island disco and coffee, lots of coffee. Enjoy!! This Weekend’s Picks • FRI Hill & Szrok • SAT When Mac Met Cheese • SUN Coffee Dogs MIX Frankie Knuckles RIP There are few DJs who have played as significant a role on UJ's road to ravedom as Frankie Knuckles. A defining moment for us was partying at La Terrrazza in Barcelona back in the day. It was here that we were introduced to the Frankie vibe. Every party was his house party. The music! The atmosphere! The dancing! So it is with great sadness that we learned of his passing earlier this week. In memory, we hope you all turn this Frankie mix UP, courtesy of DJ Jeffrey. And this Boiler Room set is another goodie. RIP Frankie, we will dearly, dearly miss you.

And we're still going. Festival favourite when Mac Met Cheese has gone bricks and mortar in Bayswater, meaning the one dish is available all ways.

To help you decide what to see, we hit up our theatre guru Chris McGill, from milktwosugars for his stage picks of the season. Here are his top five: Let The Right One In A killer hit book, a killer hit film and now a hit play. It's re-opening the Apollo Theatre after a freak accident and it's truly brilliant. The National Theatre of Scotland has made an amazing play that justifies the transition from book to film to theatre–perfect for people who don't go to the theatre (those who do go need to add it to their list of things to say they've seen). Let The Right One In, Apollo Theatre, Shaftesbury Avenue, W1D 7ES, book online or by phone 0844 482 9671 Click here for the rest of Chris' picks! FOLLOW US! Facebook | Twitter | Instagram See what we've been snapping this week on Instagram! SUNDAY EAT: COFFEE DOGS SEE: Pangaea at Saatchi Gallery Stop for a bite at King's Cross newbie Coffee Dogs. The easy-to-navigate menu of three burgers, five dogs and doughnuts (direct from Dum Dum's Donutterie in Shoreditch - the best in the land, so we hear) is all about simple but gourmet bites. And for those still lining up at Shake Shack, good news! They're also packing frozen custard (the 'crack' of American deserts – again, so we hear). But if the burgers, dawgs, and frozen custard can't pull you to N1, we hear they have Cronuts. Spending your Sunday with giant ants may not seem ideal, but when they attack via the Saatchi Gallery, well, it's art. The museum's latest exhibition, unveiling new and young talent hailing from Africa and Latin America, involves sculptures (the ants made from two casts of human skulls by Rafael Gómezbarros are a stand out), vibrant and pop-art inspired paintings and photography. And when you're done, newly opened Tommi's Burger Joint is just around the corner… 7am-11pm Prices vary Southern Square, Kings Cross Station, N1C 4TB 10am-6pm Free entry Duke of York's HQ, King's Road, SW3 4RY Coffee Roundup Here at UJ we love a good cup of Joe, and with London Coffee Festival upon us, we thought we'd share our top picks that have us buzzing. First up, we have the bricks and mortar openings, starting with pop up Clipper Coffee Merchants. The first 'bulk brew bar' in Shoreditch promises a continually changing single origin menu, with 25p of every coffee sold going to its origin coffee farms. Nice. Next, Workshop Coffee Co is spreading its wings for the Holborn Coffeebar. Get ready for the 1,200 square foot wooden and marble clad café offering everything from Aeropress to filter and batch brewed. Finally, on the DIY front is Cru Kafe –100% Arabica organic coffee in a Nespresso compatible pod. We'll drink to that! Stay tuned for a big Soho coffee announcement soon, too… Reserved Q GRILL 29-33 Chalk Farm Rd, NW1 8AJ | Website In a Sentence Memphis comes to Chalk Farm Road. Location In the heart of Camden, opposite the Stables Market, Q Grill is a welcome addition to the restaurant wasteland of NW1. Vibe Laidback, sociable and busy: all of the tables in the 150-cover space were occupied by a mix of gig-goers, locals and Des McDonald devotees. Flavours Decidedly Southern. Cornish hens wings, barbequed in a smoky glaze and delivered to the table in a takeout foil bag, packed a punch. The Josper ribs, cooked at a fiery 300 degrees Celsius (massive, deliciously charred, and uber tender) are a must. Sides are similarly indulgent: a side of scrumpy onion rings were perfectly crisp and moreish. The dessert menu focused on classics with a twist. The main star was a devilishly boozy bourbon and pecan tart, although the banoffee cheesecake looked a close second. Now for the drinks: try a fresh and zingy gin cobbler (lemonade, ginger ale, Sipsmith Summer Cup, agave syrup), or a classic, all-American root beer. Or both. Décor Southern, with a hint of hipster: rough timber, industrial lighting, Dixie-style booths and neon signage. Upshot Q grill does takeaway, too…fried chicken to go, anyone?
