Ingredients Really Good Bread Really Good Cheese (A Mature Cheddar Would Be Nice) Kale Butter Garlic Chili I love watching trends emerging in other big cities before they inevitably make their way over to our little Island.

Ingredients Sausages Bacon Flour Wraps Cheddar Cheese Eggs Jalapeno Peppers Large Potato The Irish breakfast has looked the same for decades. Bar a couple of quirks, it’s nearly the exact same as an English, Scottish or Ulster fry. We all like one now and again, but fuck me, does it get boring looking at the […]

We all love a good cocktail and unlike a few years ago where the choice was limited to shitty champagne Mojitos and crappy Sex on the Beach, the cocktail scene in the city is now exploding. Just like good coffee, quality sambos and food in general we are starting to be spoilt for choice. We […]

We always get things about 2 years after New York and London here in Dublin but when the Mexican Burrito craze hit a couple of years we embraced it in style. You can’t walk around a fucking corner now without being asked what number salsa you want as the humble Mexican treat has become a […]

It has always amazed me just how much we get ripped off on our little island. We pay more for food, property, food, drinks, clothes and just about everything else than our European brethren. A good friend once told me that the big Telcos call our country “Treasure Island” because of the amount they can […]

Every city has good coffee and although I’ve already selected my best in Dublin I thought limiting you all to one place just wouldn’t be fair. With that in mind I wanted to pot the question out to the foodies following the blog on Twitter and see what they thought. I don’t know about you […]

Ingredients Granola Fresh Mint Yoghurt 1 Packet Raspberries 1 Orange 1 Lemon I don’t know about you but I find it really fucking hard to eat in the mornings never mind make something nice what with trying to get dressed and out the door in time. More often than not I end up eating those […]

I’ve been asked loads of times to put a list together for the 12 pubs of Dublin and I wanted to put a slightly different slant on it so here are 12 of the most hip pubs in the city. You are clearly going to be hammered along this little journey wearing your snazzy jumpers […]
