    So there we were arguing about why we were in Galway, shouting about whose turn it was to be designated driver, and having tantrums about what our future really held together.

    I love Chinese Food. I love it so much I’m giving Food a capital ‘F’. I’m prepared to try anything and have been insulted a few times on Parnell St when waiters in authentic neezers have told me not to order certain dishes because ‘they’re not suitable for Irish people’. Call me weird but I…

    Taqueria El Milagro This Monday, SnackBox tests out the deep south’s Mexican treats. There are quite a few Mexican food options in Dublin. Round these parts we have Acapulco, Cactus Jack, Mexico to Rome, The Alamo and El Paso, to name but a few in the capital.  I’ve only ever eaten in Acapulco and The…

    Snack Box’s Louisiana luncheon This Monday, SnackBox takes time out from recording an album with his band Hoarsebox to take us on a comprehensive culinary tour of New Orleans. So there I was in foodie paradise, New Orleans, with six people who all share the same love/hate relationship with food as I do. I want…

    SnackBox is in Mississippi  with his band Hoarsebox recording an album – check out their distinctly  un-southern tunes here. This Monday, he tries out traditional southern… sushi. In between several ‘chicken on a stick’ based meals each day, I found the time to go to a sushi bar called Two Stick in Oxford Town. Now…

    We get pancakes, they get the biggest party in the world. Fat Tuesday or Mardi Gras is what they call today in the deep South. The logic is the same as our tradition: get as fat and fucked up as possible because there’s forty days and forty nights of misery on the way. Mardi Gras…

    SnackBox has returned to Mississippi  with his band Hoarsebox to record an album. Every Monday, he’ll be spilling his guts on the oft-overlooked cuisine of America’s deep south. Mississippi burnin’ in my a… So I’m back in Mississippi. I’m officially eating too much spicy, smoked, chilli-related foodstuffs. BUT I CANT GET ENOUGH. Couple this with…

    It’s no secret that I’m addicted to fried chicken. Since that exposé in VIP magazine, my secret shame has been all over the tabloids. So when I heard there was a new dealer in town I had to make my way to Sufi’s on Lower Stephen’s Street in Dublin incognito. Chicken Piri Piri originates from…
