The Menu: Lobster on the Green
A fine specimen of a man and a self-taught nuclear physicist to boot, The Menu was always an obvious choice to go into orbit with the Rocket Man (Jun 2) as part of the Rebel County Space Programme. Well, not quite into space but certainly to the top of Carrantuohill as Jack Crotty aka The Rocket Man, a most popular purveyor of seriously splendid salads that constitute a full meal in themselves, takes his farmer’s market stall, the whole kit and caboodle to the very top of Ireland’s highest mountain with the noble intention of feeding all who brave the summit on the day. Setting out at 8.30am, he and his 50 Leeside ‘sherpas’ hope to be set up by midday with music to be provided by Saxy Lady Boys and proceedings to be visually documented cinema verité-style by local outfit, Dog Day Media. A donation of the diner’s own deciding which will go towards the Kerry Mountain Rescue. www.facebook.com/therocketmancork
