26: #26 With Relish Live - From The Sublime To The Ridiculous

We were back at The Fumbally Cafe once again for this very special edition of the podcast, as With Relish makes its second appearance at The Dublin Podcast Festival & Eat:ith, The Fumbally’s autumn series of events. This years theme was; From The Sublime To The Ridiculous, and Aoife and Harry tasked their guests, who were each representing one of Ireland’s 4 provinces, to speak about what makes their food region so unique, brilliant and slightly bizarre at times. The star studded lineup featured some of Ireland’s most passionate and influential culinary figures of recent years, and was by far our biggest podcasting highlight so far. A huge thank you has to go to all of our guests for joining us on the evening, our wonderful sold-out audience for their participation, Ash, Luca and everyone at The Fumbally Cafe for their amazing hospitality and Alan the Headstuff.org Editor who got us out of some very scary tech difficulties which nearly ruined the night.
