Who's Who in Irish Food
A biographical dictionary of the people behind Ireland's specialist food culture. This Who's Who is a snapshot of the many people leading their fields and it will be added to and updated regularly.
In a world packed full of disinformation, the Bridgestone Guides are authoritative, controversial, reliable and independent.
John and Sally McKenna have won the André Simon, Glenfiddich and Slow Food ireland awards for their work.

The Best Plaque

"Best in Ireland' means exactly was it says on the plaque, and if you see an up-to-date plaque displayed by an establishment, it is your guarantee that the people involved are providing the very best service possible, whether they are a fishmonger selling at a farmers' market, or a pub with interesting food, a real bakery, or a hip, happening restaurant.
