The menu: Food news with Joe McNamee
If the novelty of the New Year’s hairshirt is wearing thin or if you simply took some time to recover from the recent festive excesses, then there a pair of events perfectly timed to ease a body back into the swing of things once more.
The former Cork Burger Fest returns, but this time with a national reach, trading as Burger Fest 2018 (Jan 22-28), taking place in participating bars, restaurants, cafes, hotels, takeaways and even butchers throughout the land, all in search of Ireland’s ‘best burger’, with main sponsorship courtesy of Ballymaloe Relish. Events include pop-ups, tastings, manVfood challenges and daily specials, with a special festival pack available to participating establishments (further details online at www.festivalcrew.ie).
