On your marks, get set, dine: Kilkenny Restaurant Week returns on 27 January

7th January 2023

Ballymaloe Foods are backing the competition this year with entry having opened to burger joints all across the land.

Holy Smoke have a donut burger that sounds unreal. Coqbull Limerick have a Six Stack Burger Challenge (six 8oz bacon bulls with fries – if you can do it under 10.32 mins, you’re a winner!)

If anything, it’s an encouragement to get out at the end of January and get into some good burgers.
