I loved his food. Mad as a box of frogs, but I had some great dinners there.

I know a bloke who did some renovations for him and ended up living with him for a period. They lived on steak and red wine. Amazing chef, but yeah, operating on a different frequency altogether.

Is his restaurant in Killarney still going? I see him around Cork a good bit, he's always in the market

I went up there well over a year ago maybe 2 around 6.30. Place was empty. The girl said I needed a reservation so we fucked off elsewhere and was served instantly.
If ever a place was guaranteed to go out of business that place is.

Years ago I was at an event where he did the catering. There were a load of vegetarians there so the food was supposed to be exclusively vegetarian. It ended up being full of black puddings, prawns etc. I was personally delighted to reap the benefits.

You just weren’t the right calibre of diner

I have the first 3 Pussy Blood records but after their drummer left they couldn't handle the change.

Think he played in Hot Flashes after.

Bravo

Just checked and it appears to be closed down.
Quell surprise

Cafe Izz look to have expanded into the old Gelato place next door. Fucking Palestinian flags everywhere. Out of order IMO. Imagine an Irish person opening a bar or cafe abroad and putting Irish flags everywhere. It wouldn't be tolerated like.

Brought our 6 year old to Scoozi's on the premise that it's been going too long and is so popular they must do something right.

Felt pretty smug walking past the sizable queue for a table because we had reserved figured we were onto a good thing.

I reckon the last time I was here was about 21 or 22 years ago. the menu is pretty much the same. the dining room similar enough. Fairly comfy, the place was rammed, they bus the tables in an open landing area and the noise levels made it feel like you were having a stroke

the food was a couple of burgers the adults and pizza for the kids. it was overpriced bland shite. I'm all for decent family meals out but there are 10 places in town that do a better job than this for simple grub.

we skipped desert and went for donuts in offbeat. Highlight of the evening.

when we're abroad we check google reviews because the wisdom of crowds generally wins out

it has an average google rating of 4.5 from 2.4k reviews. The crowd screwed us on this one.

It is a constant surprise to me that the place is as popular as it is!
