Virgin Atlantic, LHR → JFK

No Upper Class on the return flight but I had an entire bulkhead row to myself so it was close enough. Before the flight, though, a stop at the Centurion Lounge as I figured the meal there would be more substantial than up in the air - and it was.

Blacklock

Happy birthday dinner to me at Blacklock Shoreditch | @blacklockchops, one of my favorite places in London for a solid steak, especially for Butcher Price Monday when every cut is £8 per 100g (normally £11 for prime rib).
