World famous chef Rick Stein has teased an upcoming episode about Glasgow for a new series currently being filmed.
Set to be all about British food, the English restaurateur and writer made his way to Scotland to stop off in the city, visiting the iconic University Cafe located on Byres Road in the west end.
And whilst Glasgow's food and drink selection is always impressing with new places opening each month, it's worth stopping in at the older establishments along the way.

During his visit to the city, the television presenter reminisced about the late Anthony Bourdain who sadly passed away in 2018. The American chef released an episode dedicated to Scotland and Glasgow to form his 'Parts Unknown' series, visiting the cafe back in 2015.
In his caption on Instagram Rick Stein wrote: "Just back from Glasgow filming for new series about British food. @the_university_cafe1918 is a bit special, I was there for the Italian ice cream, but I noticed that the late and great Anthony Bourdain had been there for haddock and chips, it’s on the menu."
In a clip in which Bourdain can be seen in the The University Cafe, the chef tucked into fish and chips with haggis with him admitting he was "so ashamed" as he set about his supper that "I'm pretty sure God is against", but insisted haggis was "really one of life's great pleasures".
Confronted with a helping of chips, cheese and curry sauce, Bourdain then said: "The combination of French fries, or 'chips' in the local dialect, with curry sauce and with cheese is perhaps a bro too far."
People in the comments were loving seeing the chef in the city, also reflecting on the late chef's visit.
One said: "I was just watching Anthony Bourdain Parts Unknown in Glasgow, one of his favourite cities!"
Another added: "Thanks for sharing @chefrickstein Anthony is one of many inspirations #chef."
"Just looks 'proper' doesn’t it?" wrote a third.
