About six weeks ago I was interviewed by Angeala Flannery, from Corrigan Knows Food ,about the dishes I had designed for the Ardkeen Stores in Waterford.
This programme was aired on RTE 1 tonight.
After the interview she headed out into the streets in Waterford with three fish pies, The Ardkeen one, one of Cully and Sully’s and one she made herself.
She was going to do a blind tasting to discover which one was the favourite.
I had no idea up to tonight what the result was and when the programme started I was fairly anxious.
What was I going to do if we were the third out of three!
Well tonight they showed the results of the tasting on the Quay in Waterford and I am delighted to say that Ardkeen won!
Yay!

on June 20, 2007Well done Uncle Martin.
I watched the show last night (not knowing you were going to appear) and really enjoyed it.
I was a little anxious for you too but delighted with the outcome.
I felt a bit sorry for the Cully and Sully boys. They say all publicity is good publicity, but in their case last night- I’m not convinced.
Anyway, keep up the good work!
Hope to see you in Cork soon.

on June 21, 2007Hi Martin
Well done to all concerned! I agree with Peter above, i also felt sorry for the cully and scully guys. But it’s hard for them to complete against a range that is freshly made in small quantities (so i’m not sure the tasting was fair on them).
All the same though a great victory for you and ardkeen. Now, if only you could open a restaurant in waterford…..
