Morso, Bujo, Chef Moves
& work on a new food market begins…
This news is winging its way to you as I am setting up for Beyond The Plate at Beyond The Pale, so excuse the brevity - but festival weeks are hectic, you know how it is, even if it’s mostly because I am always telling you… Come say hi if you’re at the festival. Everyone else, have a gorgeous weekend, hopefully with lots of sunshine!
Morso, the sandwich shop from the Mani Pizza team with chef Tom Murray (Bitta Banging) in the kitchen, opened yesterday and sold out. They are back open on Drury Street from 12 pm today. If you’ve been following Tom on Instagram, you’ll know that these are no ordinary sandwiches…
Bujo Burger opened today at Central Plaza, and it looks great - looking forward to not having to go to Sandymount for a Bujo fix.
The rumours (written here) were true. Adam Nevin, who recently left his role at The Morrison Room at Carton House, is taking the reins at Glover’s Alley as Executive Chef. Glovers Alley will be reopening on Wednesday, September 2nd. No announcement yet on who is taking over Nevin’s place in Carton House, but another rumour tells me it’s someone from a Munster Michelin kitchen…
A commencement notice for work on the new food market at the CHQ building in Dublin 1 went live this week 👀 Plans are afoot for a multi-stall food hall and event space.
