Well, I don’t know about you, but I’ve always been curious about what the park looked like inside! So, now is my chance as every Friday, Fitzwilliam Square will host a new lunchtime market that is open to all! Here at Mylunch, we love learning about new and interesting ways to enjoy lunch and as the square is only around the corner from us we were delighted to hear about it! Now all we need is good weather and it’s happy days!<img alt="" src="http://www.mylunch.ie/userfiles/images/thumbs/market.jpg" style="width: 276px; height: 183px; border-width: 3px; border-style: solid; margin: 3px; float: right;" /></p><p> The Market is open from 11:30am to 2:30pm, every Friday. There will be over twenty pop up style gourmet restaurants offering a wide selection of healthy and delicious lunchtime treats! A perfect option for lunch in Dublin 2! This is a great alternative to the oul ham and cheese sambo at your desk we think! Sure, the health benefits are enormous too: it will provide you with your daily dose of Vitamin D and that bit of fresh air to blow the cobwebs away and leave you wide awake and full of energy for the weekend ahead!</p><p> One of the big bonuses of the market is that they provide you with the picnic blankets to chill out and enjoy your lunch on (and to keep your clothes sparkling clean for your return to the office). These guys really have thought of everything. There will also be a live jazz performance to help you unwind! A little bit of entertainment as you munch your lunch, if you don’t mind!</p><p> The market is organised by Irish Village Markets, who also organise similar lunchtime, farmer and food markets at the Grand Canal, Spencer dock, Sandyford and many more locations all over Dublin. <a href="http://www.irishvillagemarkets.ie/">Click here for a full list of their markets</a>.</p><p> If you know of anywhere interesting for lunch, please get in touch and <a href="http://www.mylunch.ie/dsp_Retailer.cfm" target="_blank">let us know</a>! If they sign up to the site you could win a free lunch there.

<br />
<span></span> Having started their site at the beginning of the year, <a href="http://www.gastronomics.ie/" target="_blank">gastronomics</a> is truly going from rom strength to strength! Updated twice daily, the site bringis tips and hints on how to cook, eat and drink like a true recessionista, and is a fully independent food and shopping blog!<br />
The mother and daughter team's self stated aim , while catering for six people and two respectively, is to use the site to share their efforts to lower the grocery bills, while keeping the tummies satisfied! So let's let Rach take over and tell you a bit about her lunch loves!<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #c0651f;"><strong>Hi there! My name’s Rachael and I’m the (younger, but sssh!) half of <a href="http://www.gastronomics.ie/">Gastronomics.ie</a>. As stated, we are a mother and daughter team, who used to often ring each other with news of a special offer, early bird or great recipe we’d discovered, so now we just post about it instead! </strong></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Thanks for the intro Rachael, we won't say anything about who's the younger! So tell us a little about your own lunch habits? Is being a true recessionista and food lover might difficult?<br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: #c0651f;"><strong>No actually! I’m lucky enough to have a microwave in my workplace, so every Sunday, I cook a huge pot of a brown-rice based dish such as <a href="http://www.gastronomics.ie/thai-green-curry/" target="_blank">curry</a>, <a href="http://www.gastronomics.ie/rogan-josh/" target="_blank">Rogan Josh</a> or <a href="http://www.gastronomics.ie/at-home-chicken-madras/" target="_blank">Madras</a>, and fill five lunchboxes for the whole week. (Can you tell I’m a spice fiend?!) I find having a warm, nourishing lunch really satisfies my hunger and the brown-rice sustains my energy levels for longer than a white bread sambo would. If I’ve managed to bag a Saturday off I love to enjoy a late alfresco lunch at <a href="http://www.gastronomics.ie/review-las-rada-wine-tapas-bar-naas-co-kildare/" target="_blank">Las Rada Wine & Tapas Bar, Naas</a> enjoying the sun, a selection of tapas and a cheeky glass of Pinot Grigio.</strong></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Some nice tips there, we're all for a homemade lunch now and again! So would you say you're up to a Michelin Star standard on the cookery scale yet?!</span><br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: #c0651f;"><strong>I’m no Cordon Bleu chef, and there’s many a time it doesn’t go quite to plan, but I do love to cook. As my day job involves long hours and crazy cross-country trips, I really enjoy relaxing on a Sunday in the kitchen. I find there’s a lot of peace to be had in the methodical preparing, cooking and arranging of food. The latest Sunday dish that went down a treat in our house was <a href="http://www.gastronomics.ie/beef-guinness-pies-with-champ/" target="_blank">Beef & Guinness pie</a> – comfort food at its best.</strong></span><br />
<br />
<strong>Ah, you can't beat a bit of comfort food on a Sunday, when you're feeling a bit delicate! What about a Sunday brunch recommendation then, if we're feeling a bit lazy?</strong><br />
<strong><br />
</strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: #c0651f;">Without a doubt the best Sunday brunch offering I’ve come across in a long time is in <a href="http://www.gastronomics.ie/restaurant-review-the-savoy-limerick/" target="_blank">The Savoy, Limerick</a> – you can have your pick of a huge selection of breakfast options - including the most delicious omelettes - at this five star hotel, relaxing in the plush surroundings with the papers and never-ending coffee, and it’ll cost you the grand total of €9. Insane value – my Mum’s never out of the place!</span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong>Wow, that is a great tip! Any of our Munster users, you know where to go on a Sunday morning now! Speaking of insane value, what are your faves on mylunch.ie? I know you're a Kildare resident, and we'll have lots more down there soon!</strong><br />
<strong><br />
</strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: #c0651f;">I love, love, love GBK, although my ever-expanding waistline hates, hates, hates it – the guys in Whitewater Shopping Centre, Newbridge are fantastic, very professional and always super-friendly. Myself and the boyfriend love to curl up on a Friday with a portion each of the ridiculously gorgeous wings with blue cheese sauce and share a burger – they’re HUGE! With the Mylunch.ie voucher we occasionally indulge in the two although he usually gives me a hand finishing mine! ;) </span></strong><br />
<strong>We can normally eat two GBKs on our own! Is that such a bad thing?!<br />
</strong><br />
<strong><a href="http://www.gastronomics.ie/" target="_blank"><img alt="" src="http://www.mylunch.ie/userfiles/images/Gastronomics%281%29.jpg" style="height: 136px; width: 590px;" /></a></strong><br />
<strong>So as a firmly signed up member of the ever growing Irish foodie spectrum, what are your hopes and dreams for the future of the scene?</strong><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #c0651f;"><strong> I would really love to see the long-ago mooted idea of a cafe culture in Ireland come to fruition. My favourite thing in life is having a cup of peppermint tea or a glass of wine with friends, enjoying some tasty nibbles, and taking in some sunshine if it’s going - not throwing back over-priced shots in a heaving club, queuing for gross food at 3am and watching people throw up out of a taxi the whole way home! However, there are very few wine bars in Ireland and the lovely local cafes we do have are being forced out of the market by unfeasibly high rents and rates. I realise we don’t have the weather our European friends enjoy, so pop-up restaurants and cafes during the summer may be a valid solution, if city landlords and councils want to make even temporary use of the many unfortunately empty lots.</strong></span><br />
<br />
<strong>Wow, now that's a suggestion. Are you listening Enda? We here at mylunch completely agree with the attempt to improve our cafe culture.</strong><br />
<strong><br />
</strong><br />
<strong>However, Rach, you can let us in on a little secret...If you do find yourself in a heaving sweaty club throwing back shots (as even the best of us sometimes do!), well, what's the cure for the morning after?</strong><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #c0651f;"><strong>Oh God, there is no stopping me with a hangover, I will eat whatever comes into my poor sore head – it’s almost always some sort of pasta-based dish, the creamier and more calorific the better. I usually toss some</strong></span><span style="color: #c0651f;"><strong><img alt="" src="http://www.mylunch.ie/userfiles/images/Chicken%20Arribata.jpg" style="float: right; height: 200px; width: 206px;" /></strong></span><span style="color: #c0651f;"><strong> smoked ham, chipotle chillies, shallots and garlic into the pan, deglaze with white wine, add crème fraîche and brown pasta, top with cheese and pop in the oven. Cheesy carby bliss requiring minimum effort from my utterly </strong></span><span style="color: #c0651f;"><strong><br />
useless hungover self!</strong></span><br />
<br />
<strong>That's a lot more effort than our usual of a Brekkie Roll, and a lot tastier sounding too! Maybe we should be taking notes!<br />
So finally, (and a question that Rachael came up with hereself!) we'd like to know,what would you like to do if you could own a restaurant yourself? How would you run it?</strong><br />
<strong><br />
</strong><br />
<span style="color: #c0651f;"><strong>Well firstly, I’d probably be engaged in a permanent row with the local rates authority! But secondly, I’d take a leaf out of the New York foodies’ book and offer some healthy dishes on my menu. It’s not overly expensive to allow customers to choose brown pasta, noodles or rice instead of white, preparing low-fat options for dressings and sauces, or even just to offer them a steamed fish dish alongside the usual butter-laden version. This would definitely tempt more female parties through the door, and God knows we lunching ladies like to make up the calories in our wine, a habit which helps boost the coffers for restaurants. The Milano’s chain of restaurants is the first I’ve seen go this direction, with their low-cal pizzas and habit of serving dressings on the side – myself and my fellow yo-yo dieting girlfriends would love to see more like it!</strong></span><br />
<br />

<b>Ever wasted an entire lunch break standing in line to buy a soggy sandwich made with too much butter, not enough fillings, with ingredients you don’t like, and then paying a bomb for it?</b> Well, we're avid lunch eaters too, and we certainly have!<br />
In fact, one of the main reasons the site came into being was we were fed up with the choice and value on offer in our area, and wanted to put some time and effort into researching what really good lunch options were available out there! Hey, we all eat it every day, why not make it better?!<img alt="" src="http://www.mylunch.ie/userfiles/images/MYO%20IFSC.png" style="float: right; height: 744px; width: 200px;" /><br />
<br />
<br />
Well, <a href="http://www.mylunch.ie/venue/MYOIFSC/LowerMayorStreet/1890" target="_blank">MYO IFSC</a> (that's Make Your Own by the way!) had the same thoughts, and they too decided to do something about it! From an initial Australian concept (obviously those Aussies had the same problems as us!), <a href="http://www.mylunch.ie/venue/MYOIFSC/LowerMayorStreet/1890" target="_blank">MYO</a> has grown into revolutionary sandwich and salad bar gives its customers the<br />
power to create their own lunch, exactly the way they like it! Simple eh? Simple but effective! Oh, and by the way, they've crackin coffee too!<br />
<img alt="" src="http://www.mylunch.ie/userfiles/images/MYO%20IFSC.JPG" style="height: 263px; width: 350px;" /><br />
The <a href="http://www.mylunch.ie/venue/MYOIFSC/LowerMayorStreet/1890" target="_blank">M.Y.O.</a> concept is incredibly simple but ingenious. On entering the store (as I say, one of the perks of the job is we're a lunch eater too!) we grabbed a tray, chose from loads of freshly baked bread and began assembling our sandwich from the 75 fresh gourmet sandwich fillings, including deli-style meats and cheeses, as we worked our way around.<br />
It's soooo easy, soooo simple, and takes away the effort of having to explain that you want no freakin mayo to some scowling deli maiden!<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.mylunch.ie/venue/MYOIFSC/LowerMayorStreet/1890" target="_blank">MYO</a> promises no queues, value for money, an easy to use system and most importantly, choice!<br />
For how many of us out there is the good old chicken fillet roll the default option? Grey lettuce, some watered down mayo, a slab of butter big enough<br />
to give an elephant a heart attack, lukewarm chicken and perhaps a little bit<br />
of water dripping tomato. Come on now, raise your hand.<br />
<br />
Well, a slap on the wrists for you sir/madam, we've far more than that in Dublin's dining scene, for far better value, and <a href="http://www.mylunch.ie/venue/MYOIFSC/LowerMayorStreet/1890" target="_blank">MYO IFSC</a> is the epitome of<br />
that!<br />
Healthy food, high quality filling, detailed nutritional info if you want it, and<br />
most of all, fast efficient service (as long as you're a fast and efficient<br />
person!). It's all too easy!<br />
<br />
Give it a go if you're <a href="http://www.mylunch.ie/">IFSC lunch</a> centered and haven't nipped in yet. We give it the official mylunch.ie seal of approval!<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.mylunch.ie/venue/MYOIFSC/LowerMayorStreet/1890" target="_blank">Plus, you can also get 2 for 1 on any of their delicious pies with our exclusive offer!<br />

On Saturday evening at around 8.30 p.m., the world celebrated Earth Hour, an hour of darkness organised by the WWF (no not the men in tights!) take a stand against climate change. As always, the event was a huge success, with towns and cities the world over going dark for at least an hour. <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/gallery/2011/mar/26/earth-hour-climate-change-energy?INTCMP=SRCH#/?picture=373066397&index=13" target="_blank">See here for some amazing pictures of monuments and landmarks the world over (including the Sydney Opera House, and the <span class="caption">Roman Colosseum</span>) going dark</a>. In Dublin, the stroke of 8.30pm saw Áras an Uachtaráin, the Four Courts, Leinster House and Government Buildings go lights out, but the Convention Centre, Dublin Eye and Trinity College remained lit up.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #c0651f;"><strong>Jedward</strong></span><br />
The terrible twins took on Vincent Browne on Friday night, with hilarious consequences! The lads<a href="http://thedailyedge.thejournal.ie/jedward-take-on-vincent-browne-2011-03/" target="_blank"> joined Uncle Vincent on his Friday Late show</a>, and tried to test his knowledge of pop music and the latest additions to the Oxford English Dictionary, LOL, OMG, and WAG! Reports in a Saturday newspaper indicated that the cause of John's hoarseness on the <a href="http://www.joe.ie/entertainment/music/worries-over-jedward-and-eurovision-report-0010847-1" target="_blank">night was a voice problem</a>, and fears (if you can call them that!) that the lads won't be able to sing in the Eurovision were raised.<a href="http://www.tv3.ie/shows.php?request=fridaylatewithvincentbrowne" target="_blank"><br />

<span style="color: #c0651f;"><strong>I demand 75 trillion dollars!</strong></span><br />
Ever downloaded music from Limewire? Ahem, no neither have we, but the breaking news over the weekend is that the music industry want the sharing service to <a href="http://www.pcworld.com/article/223431/riaa_thinks_limewire_owes_75_trillion_in_damages.html" target="_blank">pay 75 trillion</a> (yes TRILLION!) to them after losing a copyright infringement claim! To put that into context, the GDP of the entire world is around $60 trillion! The presiding judge has called the amount absurd, but the chances of the payment being over a billion at least look very high. Now delete that Destiny's Child album quick!!<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #c0651f;"><strong>Boys in green battle to beat Macedonia</strong></span><br />
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz...Oh sorry, that game on Saturday night must have put us to sleep for an extended period! Trap's lads battled to a hard fought <a href="http://www.rte.ie/sport/soccer/2011/0326/ireland_macedonia_report.html" target="_blank">2-1 victory over the mighty Macedonia</a> (dodgy keeper and all!) on Saturday night at the Aviva. No Earth Hour was respected here, though I'm sure many of the 30,000 odd in attendance wished it had been!<br />
Goals from Keane and McGeady, a late sub appearence for James McCarthy, and<a href="http://www.rte.ie/sport/soccer/2011/0327/ireland_macedonia_reaction_av.html" target="_blank"> the row on the RTE panel afterwards</a> were the highlights of a dour contest. By the way, is it possible that our esteemed manager could actually be getting worse at speaking English?!<br />
In what was a quiet weekend otherwise for sport, England beat Wales 2-0 in the Millenium Stadium, while Brazil beat Scotland by the same scoreline in a game that was played in London for some reason. The big story of that game <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2011/mar/27/neymar-racism-brazil-scotland" target="_blank">is the racism allegation emerging today</a>.<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: #c0651f;">Obama locked out!<br />

The world's most influential man found himself <a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/barackobama/8405304/Barack-Obama-locked-out-of-the-White-House.html" target="_blank">locked out of his own home at the weekend</a>, after workers didn't realise he would be returning home early after a conference!

(Date:10 March 2011)</h3></div><div style="float: right;"> <img alt="Roast logo" class="imgright" height="75" src="http://www.mylunch.ie/userfiles/images/thumbs/Roast%20logo.jpg" width="100" /> </div><hr /> One of the many perks of being part of mylunch.ie (as well as being part of the secret group that controls the world and appoints American presid..*ahem*) is that we get to try out the restaurants we feature on site quite frequently!<br />
Now we're no Paolo Tullio, but we're the oracle on lunch, and generally we've found that we like what you like! A burrito here, a gourmet sandwich there, a <a href="http://www.mylunch.ie/layout/multiplevenues.cfm?venue=west%20coast%20coffee" target="_blank">few free coffees</a> etc. It's all good in the mylunch hood!<br />
So, when we got the offer extended to us to try out <a href="http://www.mylunch.ie/venue/Roast/10MerrionRoad/1865" target="_blank">Roast in Ballsbridge</a> during a recent exhibition in the RDS we were delira to oblige!<img alt="Roast Ballsbridge" src="http://www.mylunch.ie/userfiles/images/Roast%20Restaurant.jpg" style="float: right; height: 330px; width: 256px;" /><br />
It was a usual Irish Spring day, blustery, showery, 10 degrees and sporadically sunny, and we were starving from a day traipising around the convention centre! A tasty filling lunch was the order of the day...<br />
So, we decided to nip into <a href="http://www.mylunch.ie/venue/Roast/10MerrionRoad/1865" target="_blank">Roast </a>and take them up on their kind offer!<br />
<br />
Open since late last year, <strong>Roast is the new restaurant over the well known Crowe's pub. Freshly re-decorated, Roast, like so many others, proclaims to be fresh, seasonal food done well. The difference between it and many of the others is, it delivers!</strong><br />
We're strong campaigners here at mylunch for the holy grail of good value + decent food, and Roast certainly performs on that front too,<br />
Myself and my mylunch colleague were starving, and began with<strong> two seafood chowers</strong> (€6.50), which would probably be enough to fill you up on a normal day! Stuffed with <strong>chunks of seafood, it was delicious</strong>, and as a bonus it kept my colleague's mouth shut long enough for me to enyoy it. (He had been quarreling with an over zealous salesperson all morning!) A non wine drinker, I opted for a Coke, as did my partner, but we also had a look <a href="http://www.roast.ie/our-wine-list/" target="_blank">at the wine list</a>, which comes recommended on <a href="http://www.roast.ie/" target="_blank">the Roast site</a>, and indeed from what we could make out, it was well formed.<br />
<br />
For mains, being the old traditionalist that I am, I opted for the<strong> Beef Pie</strong>, (and it was needed to soak up what was to come downstairs later on, lets just say the phrase "pints of Guinness" and "like they were going out of fashion" were involved), which was full of <strong>mouth watering meat, lots of veg. and accompanied by a creamy mash</strong>, while Steve, the European that he is, went for the <strong>Pumpkin Risotto</strong>, with shaved parmesan and sage.<br />
<br />
This was slightly less filling, though still tasty, but I could see him eyeing up my main with envy!<br />
Overall, a great halftime to the day, and we didn't want to leave to go back across t<img alt="Lamb Shank" src="http://www.mylunch.ie/userfiles/images/Lamb%20Shank.jpg" style="float: right; height: 280px; width: 300px;" />he road. Roast is a simple concept, akin to the cracking pub food (grub is the wrong term) you might get across the water in London,which is what we Irish are looking for in this day and age.<br />
It does what it does very very well from our experience. We would like to have seen a bit more options on the lunch menu, <strong>but the variety is good, and we will certainly be back for a crack at dinner, and a braised lamb shank that has my name on it.</strong> (pictured)<br />
<strong>At least we've something to look forward to the next time we're pretending to work in the RDS, plus it gave Steve the necessary chutzpah to go for round two with the salesperson in the afternoon, but that's another story...</strong><br />

<strong>An obvious favourite of your lunch lovers, we though we'd asked Mr. David Stone, Chief Junior Vice President of Burrito Production at Burritos and Blues (aka Owner!) to have a chat, and grilled him (heh, see what we did there, GRILLED!) on how things were going, why Dubliners seem to love Mexican, his own cookery skills, and his strange love of criticism! Oh, and by the way, did you know that Burrito is translated as "Little Donkey" in Mexican? Now you do!</strong><br />
<strong><br />
</strong><br />
<strong><br />
</strong><br />
<span style="color: #c0651f;"><strong>We asked David to give his th</strong></span><img alt="Burritos and Blues" src="http://www.mylunch.ie/userfiles/images/Burritos%20and%20Blues.jpg" style="float: left; height: 193px; width: 257px;" /><span style="color: #c0651f;"><strong>oughts on how things are going at the coalface of the New Mexican Wave (my God, we're on fire today!)<br />
</strong></span><br />
So, 6 months in and what do I think? I reckon Dublin LOVES Burritos (and Quesadilla, Nachos etc!)<br />
I started planning the return of Burritos & Blues back in 2008/09. I used to joke about it and I was always laughed at! As some people already know, Burritos & Blues was operating in Ranelagh up to 2007. I was not part of it, but was lucky enough to have met the guys who were at the coal face, Fahima and the other chefs.<br />
We opened on Wexford Street in August 2010, and I knew that we needed something different! Something Mexican, but more than just burritos! Fresh, hot, wholesome food, at a good price with top quality meats and in house made recipes. I also wanted people to see what they were getting! I also wanted the place to look casual but friendly. I realise it may look like a crèche with all the colours but I think it compliments our efforts of trying to be a young, fresh and vibrant brand.<br />
And so it began......<br />
We opened on the 4<sup>th</sup> and ran out of food 2 hours in! We did not expect the crowds that came. Thankfully it opened our eyes and we haven’t ran out of food since then!<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #c0651f;"><strong>The queues running down Wexford Street to get in the door at lunch time, must mean you've come close a few times! Do you do much of the cooking yourself David?<br />
</strong></span><br />
I am not at the counters much. I love food and how it’s made, however my knife skills are not that great although I am learning! I do the day to day things like ensure the staff are happy, ensure the suppliers are giving us what we order and generally talking up the place. I am lucky that we have a great bunch of staff here. Fahima is the head chef, and I am sure you will know her if you have ever had lunch here.<br />
The effort and passion Fahima and the guys put into the food is phenomenal! There is not a morning that I come in and Fahima isn’t complaining that something isn’t 100% right, and we have to fix it ASAP. We want our food to be known for being “Simple, Honest Food, 100% Fresh”.<br />
<br />
<img alt="Burritos and Blues" src="http://www.mylunch.ie/userfiles/images/Burritos%20and%20Blues.png" style="float: right; height: 128px; width: 128px;" /><br />
<span style="color: #c0651f;"><strong>What is your own favourite option on the menu?<br />
</strong></span><br />
My own fav is the Chicken Burrito with #1 salsa, as I am not a spice man myself! A little secret is to ask for some grilled veg in it as well! It’s delish! The Guac is also awesome!<br />
We don’t just limit ourselves to Burritos. We have an extensive menu with options to suit everyone. From Nachos, to Quesadillas, and our Sexy Salsa Fries to Burrito Bowls, we try to cater for everyone. We also have several options for the Veggie’s out there.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #c0651f;"><strong>From being a regular in store, it seems that Burritos and Blues' enthusiasm knows no bounds David! Would I be right in saying that all of this really excites you?<br />
</strong></span><br />
I love the way business works. I love the problems, the highs, the lows (the robbery, the extraction system breaking down on a Friday night etc). The model we have is quite unique in Dublin. Only ourselves and Boojum (the enemy! Only Joking!) are doing Burritos using a “Subway-esque” method and I think it works. “100% Customised, 100% Fresh”<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #c0651f;"><strong>Some of our more mature users may have fond memories of the old Burritos and Blues in Ranelagh, was it difficult to get the business going again?<br />
</strong></span><br />
Reviving Burritos & Blues was a big challenge! I am a baby faced 28 year old, and whenever I explained what I was doing, the older business people around would often sneer and immediately try to deflate me with some sort of negative statement like “The Recession” etc. In fact I think the recession has had a positive impact on us starting up! I think that people now are more savvy and do not expect to be paying top dollar for sub standard product and more importantly “scabby portions”. Our prices range from €2.50 for our cheesy cubes to 8 euro for our Big Ass Nachos. Burritos range from €5.95 for the Silver Bullet to €7 for a huge Steak Burrito.<br />
I do believe and hope that we serve a great product, at a very good price with a substantial amount of top quality food <img alt="Burritos and Blues Mission" src="http://www.mylunch.ie/userfiles/images/Burritos%20and%20Blues%20Mission.png" style="float: right; height: 249px; width: 320px;" />in it, with a smile.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #c0651f;"><strong>You guys also open late to tickle the tastebuds of the, eh, late night lunchers, shall we say!<br />
</strong></span><br />
We are open till 4 am on Friday & Saturday nights and this takes its toll on everyone, however we are slowly carving out a niche night time market on a very vibrant and loud Wexford Street!<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #c0651f;"><strong>With burritos being a relatively new thing to the generally rich tapestry of food in Dublin, you must get a lot of people asking questions about what to have?<br />
</strong></span><br />
Yes, and I love people asking questions about the food! I love people saying positive things about the place and I REALLY love the critics! People and business cannot be at their best at all times.<br />
Criticism and feedback is key in trying to be the best at what we do! I love feedback, as long as it’s constructive! There is no place for vicious criticism in Dublin. It’s too small and vicious feedback can actually close places down! I think that review sites, and other forums like that should allow the customer actively express their views, be it positive or negative, BUT allow the business owners have an opinion and react to the feedback.<br />
At Burritos & Blues we try to be as interactive with our customers as possible. Be it in the ordering process, where you are in constant contact with the server, or through our online and social media presence. We have a very active Twitter account (due to me being addicted to the bloody thing!), <a href="http://twitter.com/burritosblues" target="_blank">@burritosblues </a>and a<a href="http://www.facebook.com/mylunch.ie#%21/pages/Burritos-and-Blues/136286649733327" target="_blank"> Facebook page</a> that we are working on. Our website <a href="http://www.burritos.ie/">www.burritos.ie</a> is quite well used, and allows customers recommend any funky Blues Music that they want to hear on the speakers in Wexford Street.<br />
We also spread a viral video in March. You can<a href="http://www.mylunch.ie/lunchbox/Warning/1844" target="_blank"> see it on YouTube under TNT Salsa</a>. It is just another way we try to communicate with our customers and prospective customers!<br />
All in all it has been a great 6-7 months. The food has been flying out the door and I pray that it continues!<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #c0651f;"><strong>Sounds good! What are the plans for the future then? A full scale Burrito Revolution?<br />
</strong></span><br />
Well, in May we will hopefully start to introduce our Salsas and marinade rub into the public domain. These will be available through the Wexford Street unit and hopefully in a few stores around Dublin.<br />
We plan on opening a smaller location on Stephen Street in April and are talking to a few guys about another possible location near Grafton Street. I don’t want to rush things however. We have to be brilliant at what we do in Wexford Street first.<strong><span style="font-size: 14px;"> Viva La BURRITO!!</span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #c0651f;"><strong><br />
Viva the "Little Donkey" indeed! Some very interesting thoughts there, from a very interesting eatery! Do drop in and give David a smile, (or some feedback) if you're around Wexford St!<br />

(Date:03 March 2011)</h3></div><div style="float: right;"> <img alt="Johnny Cool Recommends" class="imgright" height="75" src="http://www.mylunch.ie/userfiles/images/thumbs/Johnny%20Cool.jpg" width="100" /> </div><hr /> Ah the Irish! Since the olden times, when we went around only eating spuds, wearing sheep skins and generally being converted to Christianity, we've been a nosy bunch! Theres even a rumour that hedge schools were only invented so a next door neighbour could look over the hedge!<br />
But hey, that's no bad thing, and as you can see from our sites popularity, word of mouth is fantastic when it comes to spreading news!<br />
Anyway, we decided that since there were loads of cool people talking on the internet about things which you lunchies would love, so why not bring them to you, ask them a bit about their lunch habits, and what they do! This will be a regular spot on The Lunchbox, and we're consistently looking for peeps to come and talk to us (we're th<img alt="" src="http://www.mylunch.ie/userfiles/images/Tom%20Selleck.jpg" style="float: right; height: 230px; width: 228px;" />e nosiest of them all!), so do <a href="mailto:shane@mylunch.ie?subject=Be%20Our%20Guest%21">get in touch</a> if you want to!<br />
For the first of these pieces, we've brought in the coolest of the cool, the man with all the insider knowledge, and the best moustache this side of Tom Selleck, <a href="http://www.facebook.com/#%21/JCRecommends?sk=wall" target="_blank">Johnny Cool</a>! If you haven't heard, Johnny is a man with his finger on the pulse, and his main objective in life is to find + recommend cool things (music, books, games, websites, presents deals etc) before anyone else. Let's let him take over, and we firstly asked him to tell us a bit about what he does...<br />
<strong><span style="color: #c0651f;">"Well, I’m fairly new to blogging, currently concentrating on recommending cool new products, places, café’s, restaurants, websites through my <a href="http://www.facebook.com/#%21/JCRecommends?sk=wall" target="_blank">Facebook</a> and <a href="http://twitter.com/#%21/JCRecommends" target="_blank">Twitter</a> page. I'm planning to launch the blog soon, so do follow me on facebook and twitter to stay updated!"<br />
</span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: #c0651f;">I'm a food fan, and depending on what I'm up to, lunch can be from cooking for one at home to meeting some friends for a catchup, and a debate over what new to recommend. This changes daily.<br />
</span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: #c0651f;">When out I mainly go to Food Room or Bay in Clontarf and the odd trip to Espresso off Baggot St if i’m in the area. With my line of work, I also like to try somewhere new every week. If you’ve missed breakfast and need a something filling I’d recommend going to Bay and asking for a porridge, it’s the best porridge in town and it’ll get you through the afternoon, do ask nicely though!"</span></strong><br />
Johnny says he's also a mean cook, so any ladies out there, pay attention! <strong><span style="color: #c0651f;">"I love cooking, I feel I’ve taken Jamie Oliver’s 30 mins meals to the next level, 15 mins meals! You’d be amazed what can be done in 15 minutes."</span></strong> Having tried Jamie's meals out, we're a bit skeptical, but our momma's always told us to never doubt a man with a moustache!<br />
He's also a fan of tech sites on the web, and of course being the first to break cool new things takes a lot of research. Johnny mentions that he spends a good bit of time checking mylunch.ie to get good value for lunch, and interestingly, he’d like to see us <strong><span style="color: #c0651f;">"grow our listings and offers even bigger, especially outside the main city centre, as there are a lot of restaurants out there with great lunch specials"</span></strong>. Good timing Johnny, cos we're looking to do that as we speak, and we've hit him up for some <a href="http://www.mylunch.ie/dsp_Retailer.cfm" target="_blank">recommendations</a>, so stay tuned for those newbies on site soon!<br />
However, it's not always coffee in town and meals out with friends for our JC, oh no! We asked him what his food vice/hangover cure was, and though he generally only drinks crystal clear mountain spring water which Nepalese goats have bathed in, he said he occasionaly likes to <strong><span style="color: #c0651f;">"devour a Marks and Sparks pepperoni pizza with a cadburys dairymilk and a cornetto"</span></strong>, hopefully not all in the one go!<br />
So there you have it, even the coolest of us have our off days, but hey, we forgive you Johnny!<br />
All you lunch lovers out there, we've got you sorted for the latest lunch news, why not <a href="http://www.facebook.com/#%21/JCRecommends?sk=wall" target="_blank">join Johnny</a>, and let him sort you out for his recommendations on the rest of the coolest things around!<br />
As we say, we'll have regular contributors to The Lunchbox in the next while, foodies, value hunters, general carachters, some of our on site venues, and the occasional user or two, so if there's anyone you'd like to see talk to us, of if you yourself have an interesting lunch story to tell, do <a href="mailto:shane@mylunch.ie?subject=Be%20Our%20Guest">get in touch</a>!<br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><strong>What is Shrove Tuesday?</strong><br />
Pancake Day (also known as Shrove Tuesday) is the last day before the period which Christians call Lent. It is traditional on this day to eat pancakes, as Lent is a time of abstinence, of giving things up. Shrove Tuesday was traditionally the last chance to indulge yourself, and to use up the foods that aren't allowed in Lent. We eat Pancakes on this day because they contain fat, butter and eggs which were forbidden during Lent.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><strong>Free Pancakes you say?<br />
</strong>To help get your Shrove Tuesday off to a good start, Aviva Stadium chefs will be setting up a pancake station outside the stadium on tomorrow, Tuesday, 8th March. People passing by will be treated to some delicious pancakes, cooked fresh on site and served with a choice of fillings, including chocolate, syrup, and lemon zest. The chefs will be there from 7.30-9.30am. <a href="http://www.avivastadiumevents.com/talk-news.aspx?k=1BC37FC1" target="_blank">All the Info here</a>! <a href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mylunch.ie%2Flayout%2Fcontent_details.cfm%2Fck%2F58%2Fctk%2F35%2Fk%2F1861&t" target="_blank">Spread the word, e'ryone loves free pancakes</a>!</span></span><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />

<br />
The second of our posts on the best of the lunch related news we've found on the web this week!<br />
When we're not securing lunch deals, we tend to surf around quite a lot and always find interesting tidbits, so we're passing them on to you!<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #c0651f;"><strong>Breast Milk Ice Cream goes on sale in London</strong></span><br />
Picture the scene, it's a hot Spring day, you're having a long lazy lunch in the tourist paradise that is London's Covent Garden, and suddenly, you get a craving for something sweet, yet cooling. Ah, a perfect time for an ice cream eh?<br />
<a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-12569011" target="_blank">Well, just be careful...</a><br />
The fact a serving cost 14 quid, and is called "Baby Gaga", makes it even more weird!<br />
I wonder does it vary from person to person?<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: #c0651f;">Cupcakes rampage in Cardiff<br />
</span></strong>As we posted on the old Facebook, a woman with a serious sweet tooth has <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1362110/Mother-smashes-cake-shop-Cardiff-ran-favourite-cupcake.html" target="_blank">gone on the rampage in Cardiff, and caused around £400 worth of damage to a cupcake shop</a>, after they sold out of her favourite. Sugarswirlz Cake Shop is relatively new to the dangerous Cardiff cupcake scene, and the woman, who was looking for a "Sweet Toothfairy Cupcake" is still on the loose, presumed armed and ravenous. Watch out <a href="http://www.mylunch.ie/venue/LollyAndCooks/GeorgesStreetArcade/1288" target="_blank">Lolly and Cooks</a>!<br />
Now we know some of us like something sweet post lunch, but that's a bit far!<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: #c0651f;">Sweet site!</span></strong><br />
Speaking of<a href="http://www.mylunch.ie/venue/LollyAndCooks/GeorgesStreetArcade/1288" target="_blank"> Lolly and Cooks</a>, have you seen their <a href="http://lollyandcooks.com/" target="_blank">new site</a>? It's a beauty! If only that mother had used their delivery option eh?<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: #c0651f;">Pizza and books- A great combo?<br />
</span></strong>In Madrid, a new store has opened combining the two! Called <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/La-pizzateca/116529655070130?v=wall">La Pizzateca</a>, the store offers a wide range of artisanal pizzas and calzones, but is also a book store! Offers available include a slice of pizza and a book for just a fiver, a bargain for all you hungry book worms out there. I wonder do they sell cheesy novels? (Oh, that was awful!)<br />
If you have any recommendations for stories we should feature, other than our own random web finds, <a href="mailto:shane@mylunch.ie?subject=The%20Bulletin">then do get in touch</a>!<br />

<br />
<strong>We've got a brand new competition for a huge gift hamper, which will have you wistfully looking into the distance while getting 80s flashbacks, and thinking about the good old days! Read on for all the details!</strong><br />
<strong><br />
</strong><br />
Spam is back! Well, the truth is, it never left, but the canned meat (just don't ask what's in it!), which has gotten a bad name from internet junk mail, is the latest retro brand to attempt to capture the nostalgia of the credit crunch, and make the big comeback into people's cupboards!<br />
<br />
With roots in Second World War Britain (having been introduced in 1941), Spam will <a href="http://www.brandrepublic.com/news/1054793/canned-meat-brand-spam-uses-social-media-build-fanbase/" target="_blank">implement a new campaign</a>, which will will play on its heritage and intends to strengthen its fanbase via social media. Spam already enjoys a sizable following on both Facebook and Twitter, and as well as engaging younger consumers, theyhope to reach out to the over-55s, who are now using social networks in increasing numbers. There is even an official <a href="http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=22544854393" target="_blank">Spam fan club</a>!<br />
<br />
The return of retro brands has been a very popular food trend in the last few years. Facebook groups and a huge amount of committed users, who were crazy enough to <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/staffordshire/7237724.stm" target="_blank">bid on a five year old bar</a>, meant <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wispa" target="_blank">Cadbury</a> were forced to return their Wispa Bar to it's rightful place at the top of the "Best Choc Bar to have with tea" tree!<br />
Tayto (which of course never went away! Nyom Nyom!) <a href="http://www.mrtayto.ie/" target="_blank">brought back good old Mr Tayto</a>, and sought to find him a partner, while Milky Way have put their "<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P8LARnyyJKI" target="_blank">red car and the blue car have a race</a>" ad back on TV back, while Birds Eye brought back the old Sunday afternoon favourite, the Arctic Roll!<br />
<br />
Websites selling <a href="http://www.slipsweetshop.com/" target="_blank">retro sweets</a> have also become hugely popular, and there's even a <a href="http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055246005" target="_blank">Boards.ie forum</a> dedicated to all things nostalgic!<br />
<br />
So it seems Spam may be right to "bring back the Spam"!<br />
<br />

<br />
<a href="http://www.mylunch.ie/venue/GothamCafe/8SouthAnneStreet/1140" target="_blank">Gotham Cafe</a>, on Sth Anne St, and it's sister <a href="http://www.mylunch.ie/venue/GothamSouth/4KilmacudRdLower/1318" target="_blank">Gotham South</a> in Stillorgan has been car<a href="http://www.independent.ie/lifestyle/independent-woman/celebrity-news-gossip/brian-banishes-les-bleus-with-a-romantic-city-stroll-2540353.html" target="_blank"><img alt="" src="http://www.mylunch.ie/userfiles/images/BOD%20AMY.jpg" style="float: right; height: 220px; width: 170px;" /></a>ving a huge following amongst pizza and good food lovers recently, and <strong>both have also been recognised from two very differing, but very high profile sources in the past week or two</strong>!<br />
Due to a recent fire in a nearby premises, the <a href="http://www.mylunch.ie/venue/GothamSouth/4KilmacudRdLower/1318" target="_blank">South</a> branch has been closed for the past couple of weeks, but is now <strong>ready to re-open this weekend</strong>, and we're sure that there will be customers battering down the door to get in and renew their acquaintance with a <a href="http://www.mylunch.ie/menus/Gotham-South-Full-Menu.pdf" target="_blank">pizza</a> or two!<span class="UIStory_Message"> </span><br />
<span class="UIStory_Message"><strong>Two regular customers, one of whom would be well capable of battering down any door are Brian O Driscoll and</strong></span><span class="UIStory_Message"><strong> Amy Huberman! The pair love Gotham, and were <a href="http://www.independent.ie/lifestyle/independent-woman/celebrity-news-gossip/brian-banishes-les-bleus-with-a-romantic-city-stroll-2540353.html" target="_blank">spotted by the nati</a></strong></span><span class="UIStory_Message"><strong><a href="http://www.independent.ie/lifestyle/independent-woman/celebrity-news-gossip/brian-banishes-les-bleus-with-a-romantic-city-stroll-2540353.html" target="_blank">onal media</a> enjoying a Valentine's meal there on Monday!</strong> Brian may have been suffering from "Les Bleus" after a devestating loss to France on Sunday, but he made sure he was in the good books with his lovely IFTA winning wife, by treating her to a pizza at Gotham, and a shopping spree! What a man!</span><br />
<br />
<span><span>Gotham Café has also recently <strong>scooped the coveted Gold Medal Award for Best Pizza </strong>at the Chef Ireland 2011 event at the recent CATEX Exhibition in the RDS!! </span></span><span><span><span><strong>Gotham beat off stiff competition from 10 other great pizza venues, to win the title for best pizza in Ireland</strong> <strong>and will go on to represent Ireland later this year in the European Qualifier of the Global Pizza Challenge in the UK.</strong> Qualify here, and it's on to New Zealand for the world finals! The winning pizza chef from Gotham was their so called "Dough Doctor" Niall Byrne, who started with them 20 years ago and is now the General Manager of Gotham South. Now there's praise and a half!</span></span></span><br />
<span><span><span><br />
</span></span></span><br />
Also, If you want to join Brian and Amy, and perhaps sample these award winning masterpieces, there's a great new offer in the South Anne St branch, <a href="http://www.mylunch.ie/venue/GothamCafe/8SouthAnneStreet/1140" target="_blank">Gotham Cafe</a>! On Mon + Tues, you can get <strong>any of their <a href="http://www.mylunch.ie/menus/Gotham-Cafe-Full-Menu.pdf" target="_blank">signature pizzas</a> for only €10 each, ALL DAY!</strong> The new lunch offering, which runs daily is also fantastic value, you can get <strong>a daily special soup & sandwich on rustic sourdough for only €7.50</strong>! <strong>Just tell them that you saw it on mylunch!</strong><br />
<br />
<span class="UIStory_Message">If you fancy a table, at either premises, you can also book on-line at <a href="http://www.gothamsouth.ie/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">www.gothamsouth.ie</a> or call 01 2122 505.</span><br />
<br />
Be sure to<a href="http://www.facebook.com/GothamCafe?ref=ts&v=info#%21/GothamCafe?v=wall" target="_blank"> join Gotham on Facebook</a> to keep up with news of their re-opening, any celeb guests, and also the very latest from their quest to be the best pizza in the world!<br />
<br />
mylunch.ie is proud to be have such high calibre and heartily celeb endorsed eateries such as Gotham Cafe and South on site! Let's get behind the team in the UK, and hope they bring home the dough!<br />

<br />
It's been a whole day since our The Lunchbox was last updated, so we thought we'd give you a round up of what's going on in the world of mylunch since we last spoke!<br />
Well, we've two new retailers on site in the last few days. <a href="http://www.mylunch.ie/venue/DylanHotel/EastmorelandPlace/1800" target="_blank">The Dylan Hotel</a> in Dublin 4 is situated just off Baggot St, and laden with Victorian charm! Their lunch menu looks delicious, and we've also got a <a href="http://www.mylunch.ie/venue/DylanHotel/EastmorelandPlace/1800" target="_blank">new exclusive group and individual offer for The Dylan too.</a><br />
<br />
Along with this, <a href="http://www.mylunch.ie/venue/TheGoodBits/1StoreStreet/1631" target="_blank">The Good Bits</a>, on the other side of town at Store St. is a newbie!<br />
<br />
The <a href="http://www.catexexhibition.com/" target="_blank">Catering Exhibition 2011</a> is currently ongoing in the RDS, and we've made a trip or two out to see the national bartending championships, and quite a few interesting food talks! It's free to get in (just register at the door), and there's lots to see. Today is the National Barista Championship finals and there's live RAI Masterchef demonstrations running throughout the day too.<br />
<br />
On the Valentines front, <a href="http://www.mylunch.ie/venue/BurritosAndBlues/2WexfordStreet/1130" target="_blank">Burritos and Blues</a> have informed us that if you come in with your love companion on Monday, and buy any two burritos, you will get a Big Ass Nachos(usually €8) absolutely free!<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.mylunch.ie/venue/GourmetBurgerCo/97RanelaghRoad/1147" target="_blank">Gourmet Burger Co. in Ranelagh</a> also have a <span class="UIStory_Message"><a href="http://www.facebook.com/#%21/pages/Gourmet-Burger-Co/191572822516" target="_blank"><span style="font-weight: bold;">special for Monday 14th of </span></a>2 x Wagyu/Kobe burgers & Bottle of Rosato Spumate Ca'morlin,Italy Sparking Rose €50. The normal price is €85, and it's a great chance to sample the Wagyu so book now on </span>01-4977821.<br />
<br />
And finally, we're sad to see the <a href="http://boards.ie/vbulletin/attachment.php?attachmentid=146986&d=1297094363" target="_blank">news of Sin É's demise</a>. If you haven't heard, the colourful pub on Ormond Quay is <a href="http://www.thejournal.ie/last-weekend-for-sin-e-bar-2011-2/" target="_blank">closing due to rent issues</a>. Seems to be a <a href="http://www.mylunch.ie/lunchbox/FairorFowl/1682" target="_blank">recurring theme in the past few months</a>, and seriously affecting Dublin's culture and dining scene...<br />
By the way, we've got a lovely blog post on Valentines baking coming up tomorrow, so do come back!<br />

Hello lunchies, and welcome to the first "Lunchbox" post of Spring!<br />
As we posted on Twitter this morning, we love Spring! Daffodils will be blooming, lambs will soon be leaping Valentines Day will be looming (or "Being Single Celebration Day" if you're unattached!) and of course we'll be bringing you lots more lunch value!<br />
<b>Just today, we've added some Spring French flair to the site, with two new exclusive offers from retailers who would not look out of place in the shadow of the "La Tour Eiffel"</b><br />
Firstly, <a href="http://www.mylunch.ie/venue/LaCroissanterie/StStephensGreenShoppingCentre/1297" target="_blank">La Croissanterie in Stephens Green S.C</a>. now <b>offer you users a free coffee/tea or soft drink</b>, with any sandwich, panini or savoury item! <a href="http://www.mylunch.ie/venue/LaCroissanterie/StStephensGreenShoppingCentre/1297" target="_blank">See here for the deal</a>!<br />
<br />
Along with that, we've added to our holy grail of deals, the 2 for 1 area! New French flavoured Georges St restaurant <b><a href="http://www.mylunch.ie/venue/LeCafeDesIrlandais/12-13SouthGreatGeorgesStreet/1570" target="_blank">Le Cafe Des Irlandais is now offering an exclusive mylunch 2 for 1</a>!</b> From Tue to Fri each week, you can get a 2 for 1 on any of their lunch mains! If you haven't tried it already, please do, because it's trés bien!<br />
<b><br />
Oh and finally, just to let any of you foodies know, <a href="http://www.mylunch.ie/lunchbox/MylunchbyCandlelight/1706" target="_blank">our comp to win two free passes to Clonakilty by Candlelight</a> will end today at 3 p.m., with the winner announced just after! If you want to put your name in the hat for the first ever flash restaurant in Dublin, simply mail candlelight@mylunch.ie with all your details! As a famous meerkat says: "Simples"!<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
Welcome to Watercooler Moments for this week, and your Monday morning dose of what topics you can use to make small talk, and nullify awkward office/lunch silences this week!<br />
It's your handy pocket guide to the best of the weekend's stories, all in one post!<br />
Happy Monday, and let's get going....<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: orange;">I demad one TRILLION DOLLARS!<br />
</span></b><br />
Rap star, film star, clothing range owner and all round true gangsta Sean P Diddy Puff Daddy Coombs <a href="http://www.nypost.com/p/entertainment/music/la_woman_sues_music_mogul_diddy_4HP4jHKllMDV7jCp7CgJKO" target="_blank">is being sued by an L.A. woman for, yep you heard right,<b> one trillion dollars</b></a>! The case, which if won, would presumeably be one of the biggest awards ever, is being brought against Combs/Diddy by Valerie Joyce Wilson Turk.<br />
<b>The woman accuses the rapper, his former girlfriend, and the somehow related ex police brutality victim Rodney King (<a href="http://www.youtube.com/verify_age?next_url=http%3A//www.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3D7ikXImAk9Oc" target="_blank">whose beating sparked the L.A. Riots</a>) of collaborating to fell the World Trade Towers on Sept 11th 2011</b>, and also maintains the trio set her up to get disability pay.<br />
<br />
Another accusation is that Combs/Diddy is in fact her 23 year old son's father, but the final straw is that <b>Diddy "stole a poker chip worth 100 zillions of dollars" (a direct quote!) that she won in a Mississippi casino and later gave it away to someone else.<br />
</b><br />
<a href="http://www.nme.com/news/p-diddy/54739" target="_blank"><b>She is petitioning for $900 billion in child support. The other $100 billion she is seeking is for “loss of income.”</b></a><br />
A Los Angeles judge denied her request for a restraining order against Diddy, but set a hearing for Jan 31.<br />
Only in America eh?!<br />
<br />
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: medium none; color: black; overflow: hidden; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;"><b><span style="color: orange;">Social Network Similarities</span></b></div><div style="background-color: transparent; border: medium none; color: black; overflow: hidden; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;"></div><div style="background-color: transparent; border: medium none; color: black; overflow: hidden; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;"><a href="http://mashable.com/2011/01/30/zuckerberg-on-snl/" target="_blank">Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg showed his sense of humour on cult American T.V. show Saturday Night Live over the weekend</a>. The geeky social network genius opened the show with a skit alongside "The Social Network" actor Jesse Eisenberg (who's depiction of Zuckerberg looks set to win him an Oscar) and the show’s resident Zuckerberg impersonator, Andy Samberg.</div><div style="background-color: transparent; border: medium none; color: black; overflow: hidden; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;"></div><div style="background-color: transparent; border: medium none; color: black; overflow: hidden; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;"><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JA9QMgeyKR4" target="_blank">A triple threat of Zuckerberg on one stage soon had the audience in stitches!<br />
</a></div><br />
<b><span style="color: orange;">"He's no Fred Perry", rugby injuries and F.A. Cup drama</span></b><br />
<br />
In sporting news over the weekend, charismatic (*ahem*) Scottish tennis player Audy Murray's <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/tennis/9380511.stm" target="_blank">bid to become the first British man since Fred Perry in 1936 to win a tennis major again came to an abrupt end.</a> The enigmatic and fun lovin (*ahem*) Scot was beaten in three sets (6-4 6-2 6-3) by Serb Novak Djokovic, meaning he has yet to win a set in his three Grand Slam finals so far.<br />
<br />
In rugby, Ireland's 6 Nations squad is preparing for Italy next weekend. <a href="http://www.rte.ie/sport/rugby/sixnations/2011/0130/ireland.html" target="_blank">The squad for the game in Rome has been named, and it seems that the "Injuries" colum is mounting for Uncle Deccie.</a><br />
<br />
There was little surprise in the fourth round of the F.A. Cup over the weekend, bar minnows Notts County holding might Manchester City to a draw. <a href="http://www.rte.ie/sport/soccer/2011/0130/manchesterunited_crawley.html" target="_blank">But the fifth round draw did throw up the massive tie of non-league Crawley Town making the visit to Old Trafford to face Man Utd!</a><br />
<br />
Today is also transfer deasline day, so watch out for lots of "Sky Sports News understands" headlines, and fake "Sky Sports sources" stirring the rumour mill. Big stories include Spurs search for a striker and Fernando Torres' proposed £50 million move to Chelsea. <a href="http://www.football365.com/story/0,17033,8652_6713499,00.html" target="_blank">See here for a live blog.</a><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: orange;">Ah they were simple times!</span></b><br />
<br />
And finally this week, we would like to bring you back in time to an era when wool jumpers and Fruit of the Loom t-shirts were all the rage, when the euro was a pipe dream, and the Celtic Tiger an even pipier dream (yeah yeah I know that's not a real word!)<br />
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8XtVm8z28e4" target="_blank">Ladies and gentlemen, if you haven't seen it already, please take a look at the classic 1994 Castletown Donkey Derby...<br />
</a><br />
<br />
Oh, and it's the last day of Winter today too!<br />

(Date:28 January 2011)</h3></div><div style="float: right;"><img alt="Gluten Free!" class="imgright" height="75" src="http://www.mylunch.ie/userfiles/images/thumbs/Gluten.jpg" width="100" /> </div><hr /><br />

<br />
<br />
You may have missed something with our new site. We now provide information on <a href="http://www.mylunch.ie/venue/Itsa/Arnotts/1710" target="_blank">the retailer pages</a> on whether or not they say they <a href="http://www.mylunch.ie/layout/eateries.cfm?CFID=157539&CFTOKEN=b3580421f3add464-CBDC45B7-A4C7-9F9F-3A23EC06F7A89D12" target="_blank">cater for Special Diets</a>. This includes vegan, vegetarian and coeliac options.<br />
<b><br />
With first hand knowledge of the struggle many coeliacs can face when eating out, we decided that we'd try to become a much more inclusive site, (indeed one of the only food listing sites out there that is) and a better outlet for people to decide where they can and can't eat, and indeed, more importanty, where they both can and will want to eat! Choice shouldn't be hugely lessened we feel.<br />
</b><br />
<br />
<b>Now we're far from perfect yet, and we're going on what our retailers tell us about their Special Dietary options, but it's a starting point, and in the New Year, we'll be putting a big effort into really cleansing the site of coeliac options, and the inclusion of many new options. (We'd be very appreciative if you could help us with that too)</b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
Current faves on site for coeliac options seem to be the likes of <a href="http://www.mylunch.ie/layout/multiplevenues.cfm?venue=itsa" target="_blank">Itsa</a>, <a href="http://www.mylunch.ie/layout/multiplevenues.cfm?venue=gourmet%20burger%20kitchen" target="_blank">GBK</a>, <a href="http://www.mylunch.ie/layout/multiplevenues.cfm?venue=wagamama" target="_blank">Wagamama</a> and <a href="http://www.mylunch.ie/venue/RusticStone/17SouthGreatGeorgesSt/1520" target="_blank">Rustic Stone</a><br />
Anyway, what brings us on to this is <a href="http://www.safefood.eu/en/News2/20101/New-survey-has-positive-news-for-Coeliacs/" target="_blank">Safefood have conducted a new study which shows that "94% of restaurants on the island of Ireland are able to accommodate a request for a gluten-free meal</a>".<br />
<br />
Dr Gary Kearney of Safefood said of the study "“Our research has shown how vitally important it is that the manager and chef of a catering establishment are aware of the Coeliac condition and the importance of gluten-free food. This is critical given that serving staff are often heavily reliant on their advice when advising a customer. It’s clear that staff training is fundamental in addressing this ‘knowledge gap’ and, as such, all service sector staff should receive basic training on how best to address food allergies and intolerances and the importance of controlling food allergens in a catering setting.”<br />
<br />
However, he went on to say that "while our research is welcome news for coeliacs, it is no reason to be complacent as the research revealed that serious mistakes can still be made, even when customers are presented with ‘gluten-free’ choices in ‘Coeliac friendly’ restaurants"<br />
<br />
<b>It's quite interesting that the number is so high. However, one would have to ask the question of whether how thoroughly these 94% are catered for, and how reliant the study is on truthfulness from owners about their own business capabilites.<br />
</b><br />
<br />
Gerry Flaherty, Chairperson of the CSI added “We welcome these findings but would remind of the need for constant vigilance in the provision of safe, gluten-free food for people with coeliac condition”.<br />
Welcome news none the less, and we at mylunch are doing our best to provide numerous wide ranging lunch options for coeliacs.<br />
<a href="http://www.safefood.eu/en/Publication/Research-reports/Hold-the-Gluten/">The full report can be read here.<br />
</a><br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.mylunch.ie/dsp_contact.cfm" target="_blank">If you'd like to get in touch with us about anything coeliac related, or indeed Special Diet related, please do</a>!<br />
However, if you want to get in contact to point out grammatical errors in a blog post, please don't!<br />

<br />
Something (healty) for the weekend seems to have taken on cult status amongst all you health mongers, recipe lovers and general foodies out there, so we're going to be continuing it for the forseeable future! If there are any recipes you'd like to see, then please get in touch through hungry@mylunch.ie!<br />
<b><br />
This week, we've got an online exclusive, and a delicious easy and healthy dish to round off January, from the lovely <a href="http://www.bibliocook.com/2010/10/itsa-cookbook-b.html" target="_blank">Domini Kemp's recent cookbook</a>.<br />
</b><br />
<a href="http://www.mylunch.ie/layout/multiplevenues.cfm?venue=itsa" target="_blank">An Itsa co-founder with her sister Peaches, (check their new offer if you want more healthy goodness!)</a>, Domini is a respected food writer and chef, and through all that, still finds time to appear each week on <a href="http://www.rte.ie/tv/fourlive/2011/0126/dominikemp079.html" target="_blank">RTE's Four Live</a>!<br />
<br />
<b>Now, you may be thinking that there's something fishy about this blog post, and there is, cos this week, we're doing super-healthy salmon and tuna fishcakes! Perfect for a main (serves two) or starter (serves four), this recipe is sure to be a hit if you're entertaining this weekend, or even if you've someone special to impress. Ah heck , who are we kidding, why not just make a batch for yourself!</b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>Anyway, here goes, I'll let Domini take over from here!<br />
</b><br />
"Don’t stress out if you cant get lime leaves or anything else off the list. Just add more of everything else. Also, if you ever do come across lime leaves, buy a bunch of them, wrap them up well in cling film and freeze them. The same goes for the lemongrass – its not idea, but it works OK as they can be hard to find when you need them.<br />
<br />
<b>You wil need</b><br />
2 red onions, diced, 2 red chillies, deseeded and diced, 2 lime leaves, 1 stalk lemongrass, Juice of 2 limes, 1 small bunch coriander, 1 small bunch basil, a knob of ginger, peeled, 2 tbsp tamari or soy sauce, 1 tsp fish sauce, a splash of sesame oil, 200g fresh salmon fillet, skin removed and roughly chopped, 200g fresh tuna fillet, skin removed and roughly chopped, a handful of sesame seeds, sweet chilli sauce to serve<br />
<br />
<b>How to prepare:<br />
</b><br />
<div style="margin-left: 27pt;"><b>1. </b>Preheat the oven to 200c. Line a baking tray with parchment paper</div><div style="margin-left: 27pt;"><b>2. </b>Whizz all the ingredients except the fish and sesame seeds together in a food processor until smooth. Add the fish and pulse so that it’s processed and not mushy baby food. Shape the fish into balls and place on the baking tray. If you can, chill for 10 minutes.</div><div style="margin-left: 27pt;"><b>3. </b>Sprinkle with sesame seeds, then bake for 10 to 12 minutes. If you can, gently turn them over halfway through so they can brown on both sides. They do cook quite quickly, and you may like to serve them a bit rare inside. Let them settle for a minute before removing from the paper (they are quite delicate, as there is no egg to bind them), then serve with sweet chilli sauce.</div><br />
Sounds very tasty and zesty eh? Have fun making them, and be sure to let us know on <a href="http://twitter.com/mylunchie" target="_blank">Twitter</a> or <a href="http://www.facebook.com/#%21/mylunch.ie" target="_blank">Facebook</a> how you got on!<br />

<strong>Here at mylunch, we love anything different, cool or unusual! I guess you could say we're hipster lunch lovers!</strong><br />
<br />
Some of you may remember the mylunch supported Tefal Greaseless Spoon project, which brought free healthy lunch, to Dublin last November, or the again mylunch supported Streetfeast project which held a flash feast in front of City Hall last Summer.<br />
<br />
<strong>Well, flash dining is back in Dublin with a bang this February! <a href="http://www.facebook.com/ClonakiltyBlackpudding" target="_blank">Clonakilty Blackpudding</a>, Ireland's famous leading pudding purveyor (which is presumeably being sent all over the world currently to homesick es-pats!) is about to launch Ireland's first ever "flash restaurant", "Clonakilty by Candlelight" in Dublin city centre from 3rd-12th Feb</strong>.<br />
<br />
Around since 1800, the Clonakilty brand is one which is steeped in Irish heritage, (<a href="http://www.facebook.com/ClonakiltyBlackpudding?v=info" target="_blank">check the full story here</a>) and now they are giving you a chance to get together with your pals for an evening of chats, delish food and s<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;">omething a little bit different, but <strong>intriguingly, like the Clonakilty recipe, the location is a secret!</strong></span><br />
<br />
"Clonakilty By Candlelight", will open for six special nights only, and deliver a fabulous food feast with an intimate dinner party vibe. Guests will be served culinary delights made from the full Clonakilty Blackpudding Co.’s range of delicious products, with Bridgestone recommended Ted Berner of Wildside catering in the kitchen.<br />
<br />
<strong>If you want to attend, you can check out all the info on the <a href="http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=157854387599650" target="_blank">Facebook page here</a>, and spaces are filling up very fast, so get in this evening or tomorrow if you'd like to go!</strong><br />
<strong>Dinner will be served on Feb 3rd, 4th, 5th, 10th, 11th and 12th, and there will be a distinct theatrical theme, so a fun night is guaranteed! How often are you guaranteed a fun, free dinner out??</strong><br />
<br />

The stated mission to help customers enjoy their food but also enable them to make healthier choices is most welcome, and <b>when choosing any of the signature bagels you can opt to ask for no butter, lighter sauce or substitute for low fat cream cheese.

<br />
If you're looking to continue your January health boost,<b> Itsa's smoothies contain yoghurt, honey & plenty of fruit to go towards your 5 a day, while you can ncrease your intake of vegetables</b> by trying one of their deliciously wholesome soups. All are made in house by Itsa's own chefswith top quality Marigold Vegan stock and no un-necessary additives, and you can add a low GI bagel for a really healthy tasty lunch.<br />
<br />
Even their goodies are better for you and baked daily in Itsa's own production kitchen!<br />
