Jon Stibbs
A new resident in Bogota, Colombia; Jon is a Londoner by nature who naturally misses pubs and pies. A lot. However, he is enjoying exploring Bogota’s baked street-food, while discovering the city’s even finer dining.
After nearly two years in La Paz, he quickly adjusted to Bogota’s surfeit of oxygen and good restaurants. Slightly frustratingly, his search for a bar serving the perfect dry martinis was met with immediate success.
Once the owner/chef of a luxury breakfast delivery business for the lucky denizens of north London, he’s now much happier to stay in bed and then cook for himself.
Jon is so happy in his home in the restaurant-rich Macarena district of Colombia’s capital that he may even learn the dance. He currently works for The Tablet, RussiaToday.com and UNICEF among others.

Foodtripper: The Collection has just launched. This boutique selection of the world's best cookery holidays brings global gourmet retreats direct to your fingertips... your very own delicious escape is just a click away. On Foodtripper TV, we’ve invited top chef Rowley Leigh to make the most of Spain's short-lived Picota cherry season, cooking up a classic clafoutis. And we have a fab holiday to Spain's Jerte Valley for one lucky individual.

In anticipation of a long, hot, British summer I stay close to home dropping by Le Cafe Anglais where Rowley Leigh - just turned 60 - shares future plans for the restaurant and role as poster boy for the forthcoming Picota cherry season. Across town, at The Lanesborough, Heinz Beck's elegant summer menu is served. Go there for the chaud-froid Herbal infusion with tuna tartare and green tea sorbet - more Mediterranean gluttony than molecular gastronomy.

Foodtripper met the most lauded chefs on earth at The World's Fifty Best Restaurant Awards. Taking 1st prize is Noma in Copehagen knocking El Bulli off the top spot and sending a ripple effect through the chart. Heston moves down to 3rd place. Hibiscus is in, by a whisker, at number 49 leaving the total number of Brits in the top 50 at a mere three. If you missed our live tweets on the night then start following us on twitter for future live updates.
