Change of menu for the ‘voice of food’

FORGET MasterChef Ireland — if you want a real culinary business buzz, try stepping into the fleet-of-foot shoes of Claire Nash, one of the busiest and best known restaurant personalities in Munster.

The chance to measure up on the foodie front comes as she puts her lucrative cafe, restaurant and food shop Nash 19 in Cork city centre up for sale.

Just two weeks ago, the “voice of food in Cork” (she did the RTÉ commentary for the Queen’s English Market visit in May) celebrated 19 years in business. In keeping with the lucky number, she has 19 full-time staff.
