I recently went along to BS Pro Spray in Broxburn to meet Lucas and have a look at what he does.

I’ve made so many food videos over the years that I thought it would be good to branch out a bit, especially since I’ve recently passed my driving test and have started getting more interested in cars.

Lucas has been living in Scotland for around 20 years and has been detailing cars for about 15. He started out working in another garage before eventually setting up BS Pro Spray himself around 7 or 8 years ago.

Since then, he reckons he’s worked on around 1,500 cars.

For anyone who doesn’t know what car detailing actually involves, it’s basically about restoring a car’s appearance, from scratches and paintwork to all the little details that can make a car look tired. The results can be pretty mad when you see the difference.

What stood out to me though was Lucas himself. He’s a family man who works incredibly hard, often spending weeks at a time doing pretty much one car a day.

I think there’s something to be said for people like that who have built up a local business through years of graft.

If your car is looking a bit worse for wear and you’re thinking about getting it detailed, give Bsprospray Detailing Broxburn a shout.

I’ve been meaning to get back down to Khushi’s in Livingston, especially after the recent roadworks caused some pretty big disruption for the business.

I actually went down during the roadworks because I wanted to try and help drum up a bit of business for them. It’s tough enough for a local restaurant when people can’t easily get to you, regardless of how good the food is.

They recently featured in an Edinburgh Live article about the problems they’d been having, and apparently the response has been massive. They told me they’ve been absolutely packed since it came out, which is brilliant to hear.

And if you’ve never tried Khushi’s, there’s a couple of things I’d recommend.

The Lamb Lababdar Curry is probably my favourite. It’s not something you see everywhere, and it’s a rich, creamy curry typically made with things like almonds, cream, tomato and aromatic spices. The lamb in theirs is absolutely cracking.

If you prefer something milder, I’d go for the Saag. It’s a spinach-based curry and one I really like, with plenty of milder options available too.

It’s a proper local business with a genuinely good family behind it, so it was good to hear that the recent attention has actually translated into people coming through the door.

Hopefully that continues long after the roadworks are finished.

I recently headed through to Cafébar 1912 in Bathgate to try their steak deal, and for £29 you get a steak, two sides and a drink, which is a pretty decent deal.

I went for the sirloin with mushrooms, potatoes and peppercorn sauce, along with some mozzarella sticks on the side. The steak comes out on a hot stone, so you can finish cooking it yourself to exactly how you like it.

I saw a few people nitpicking about having to cook the steak yourself when I posted the video, but honestly, I don’t really get the fuss. It takes basically no effort. Give it a quick flip, let it finish to your liking, then take it off the stone. And if you’re unsure, the staff are more than happy to help.

The steak itself was really good, and next time I’d probably go for the ribeye.

One of the things I really like about 1912 is how much emphasis they put on fresh, local produce. They’re part of David Stein, and they source their beef and other produce locally, including from farms in West Lothian.

The building itself is pretty cool too. 1912 gets its name from the year the building was made, and it’s got loads of character.

The staff were all really nice and the whole place has a relaxed feel to it. Definitely worth checking out if you’re after a good steak without going completely daft on the price.

China Star went viral this year after Lisa came back to Edinburgh to try and save her mum’s struggling family restaurant.

Her video saying the restaurant was dying ended up getting millions of views, and it definitely seems to have brought a lot more people through the door.

But honestly, I still think it could be busier.

Because the thing is, it’s easy to watch a viral story, feel bad for a business and then scroll onto the next video. Actually going in and spending your money is what keeps the place alive.

I’ve been before, but this time I went for their lunch deal, which is under £10 for a starter and a main. I got the spring rolls and Hong Kong-style sweet and sour chicken with rice.

It’s got that proper old-school Chinese restaurant feel too. Extra rice comes in one of those wooden steaming containers, and they’ve even got some proper old-school w**e.

I also got a look around the kitchen and found out their chef has been there for around 30 years.

So if you’ve seen all the hype online and thought it was just a social media story, honestly, go and try the food.

Because as far as classic UK-style Chinese restaurants go, this place absolutely bangs.
