Early doors it looks
Like your man from Louth, they had to warn him that professionals weren't allowed. Blonde bird the first nite looked handy as well. Was surprised that only about 50% of the contestants seemed to be originally from Ireland.
Thought your man in the cook off the first nite, Pearce, seemed hard done by, looked like he was through for sure

[Tony Baloney]

How often is it on? Seen it the other night and think it was pretty good. The standard they're looking for seems higher than the British version.

I've never seen the starting weeks of the English one but I thought some of the dishes were brutal, I thought I could have made them & while I'm alright in the kitchen I'm no chef!

I like to cook myself

Times are tough in Mexico.

In fairness though none of the contestants are chefs either.
I think the judges were overly harsh on some of them,it was like they were expecting Michelin star chefs right from the off.
The whole concept is to get a amateur with signs of some talent and turn them into a top chef.

I'm not surprised about that. Ireland doesn't have a national cuisine or cooking tradition like a lot of other countries.

Could you though? Past Champ and stew, and their variations, where are we at with national cuisine?

[The Iceman]

The Irish Chinese food is the best Chinese food I have had anywhere in the world......

But to your point Puck we really don't have a national cuisine like many other countries....

Any Irish man worth his salt knows our favourite dish is Corned Beef and Cabbage

Have become addicted to this show in recent weeks.

Who are the 2 pompous gits presenting it? Are they chefs or food critics?

I swear the wee female contestant gets smaller every week.

Non of the dishes so far are a patch on my fabulous chilli con carne!!!

[Bingo]

You use Uncle Bens for the Chilli Con carne.

One of them ran a restaurant in Ranelagh called Mint that got a Michelan star. was a tv show on it, it closed now as it was losing a ball of money despite the prices it charged. He has another, more moderately priced restaurant now. He from the North originally.

The other guy is a well know Matre de or whatever the front of house person is called! He has recently opened his own restaurant in Dublin, which is a brave move for someone of his ilk - its normally the chef that people look to, not the head waiter!

Its a great show alright, must be a brutal industry to work in at the highest level.

Her helium voice is hilarious.

Good show alright,the pastry chef in the Shelbourne seemed like a right knob though.
I think the Scottish girl Claire Ann looks like a right dirty little minx..
