Padraig’s €100k sweet taste of success

Taste of Success winner Padraig McCarthy now has €100,000 to spend, as well as having his product placed on the shelves of over 140 Lidl stores.

The Limerick man, who had to abandon a career as a chef to battle cancer, said the eight-week competition fulfilled his passion to work with food.

“It’s all I ever wanted to do,” he said last night.
