River bank to sizzle in battle of chefs

A BUSY Limerick riverside street will sizzle over the coming holiday weekend as hundreds of barbecue chefs gather from all over the world to pit their skills in an international cook-off.

Thousands more food lovers will converge on Lough Quay to feast on the delights of the barbecue chefs who will travel from South America, the Middle East and US.

The massive barbecue takes place over Saturday and Sunday and is one of the centrepieces of the holiday weekend Riverfest.
