Hello, my name is Dominic Borel, around one half of the
Bianchi's group, with my cousin Ben Harvey, we got Pasta
Loco, Pasta Ripiena, Lasorella, Bianchi's restaurant
and our Pizza Bianchi.
We are down here and in BS1 of the Old City.
Outside of Full Court Press you can smell the beautiful
coffee in the air. We're just going to explore today the
local area and growing up in the area and
showing a little bit of love.
We're going to head inside to see what that beautiful
smells about.
OK, OK, what's going on?
Do you know what, I'm going to go with your recommendation,
I think. What's your favourite?
Yeah, OK, I see what's happening here.
OK, nice.
Nice one. Have a good day.
Ta-ta, ciao, ciao.
Aaah waking up and smelling that coffee, you know.
Right then we're walking and talking are we?
I spent a lot of naughty time around here
back in the day. I mean, not in like the illegal sense.
Stood out here on Corn Street again
amongst all this wonderful architecture.
I'm stood next to one of four
brass heads here where the saying paid on the nails
comes from, merchants would come into this area and
they would change their goods.
This area's rich in history,
it can be seen everywhere in the architecture.
And even on the plaques on the walls.
So get down here and get some history into your life.
Everyones getting ready to open up for their lunch
today, which shouldn't be too long.
I mean, Ben and I came in here yesterday,
grabbed the Low and Slow from over there, but,
you know, Eat a Pitta kill it as well, we got our boy
Dan at the back here from Woky Ko representing and we
got a lovely little juice store on the corner here.
Keeps us alive, keeps us full of tumeric and ginger
and a nice spiciness.
Yes brudda, this is big boy
Dan representing Woky Ko, he's killing it hard.
But let's go inside the Exchange Hall
and we'll see what's cracking.
This is one of my favourites 'cuz ize wurf it'.
Right then lets head out.
Which is quite right, yes brudda,
you good?
Umm yeah, we're all good, we're just, just chatting
about Bristol init, like right now, like happenings.
We got Four Wise Monkeys here.
Ah right ah crispy aromatic duck tacos.
That's what i'm talkin' about.
Take it easy Gazza. Yeah nice, let's get it cracking,
follow me down the dodgy looking alleyway.
We're walking up the very aromatic
and colourful St Leonards Avenue.
And we're heading to Centre Space Studios.
It's been a cooperative since about
1977 I think, we're going to meet Nick here.
He's got a very impressive beard.
He's been rocking a rolling in this space
for about eight years now, quite inspiring.
And to see what people are doing to kind of express
their creative, creative ways and tendencies is amazing,
so, lets go.
Ciao, don't worry, I don't know the way.
So we're heading up to go and see
Jess.
There's all a bunch of loviliness in this room.
There we go, Wild Wolf's
Yoga with the Jess Wolf.
What a legend.
Thanks for spending the day with me following me around
the Old City, St Nicholas Market, Corn Street.
Thanks to all the other independent operators around
here for showing us what you get up to.
Please come down and enjoy the smells, flavours.
Find out what's going on.
I got to go back to work, Ciao.
