Editor gets hot hotel food brought up in capital (9)
I believe the answer is:
edinburgh
'up in capital' is the definition.
'edinburgh' can be an answer for 'capital' (I've seen this before). I am unsure of the 'up in' bit.
'editor gets hot hotel food' is the wordplay.
'editor' becomes 'ed' (abbreviation).
'gets' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'hot' becomes 'in' (both can mean fashionable).
'hotel food' becomes 'burgh' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'ed'+'in'+'burgh'='EDINBURGH'
'brought' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for edinburgh that I've seen before include "'The Athens of the North'" , "fringe city" , "Scotland's capital" , "Scottish capital" , "Capital city of Scotland" .)
