An interview style podcast discovering a different food story every week
29 NOV. 2020 · Our guest this week is Matt McGuirk, manager of Luvida Restaurant in Navan, and founder of The Pandemic Pantry, a new online resource for food businesses.
Join us for an hour as we chat about moving from the kitchen to the front of house, the challenges of running a busy, successful restaurant, and what made him set up "The Pandemic Pantry".
Listen as we hear Matt's simple but utterly delicious death row meal, hear about the book that he's writing to encourage better behaviour when dining out, sympathize with the pain of finding out your career is officially "non-essential”, and be as shocked and horrified as us when Matt reveals the ingredient he hates most in the world.

Listen as we find out what’s on Ham Sandwich’s rider these days, why his bandmates have given the nickname “Are you finishing that?”, how he was prescribed a pint of Guinness a day by doctors when he was just eight years old, and he gives me the recipe for one of his favourite dishes, his chocolate, coffee and bean casserole (yes, really).
