LIMERICK based chef Danny Martinez Doyle has won the title of All-Ireland Chowder Champion and brings the coveted national award back to Newcastle West for all to savour.
Head Chef at Dan Cronin’s Bar and Bistro, Danny won the Limerick heat organised by Limerick Food Group, the Limerick Local Enterprise Office, and LIT, together with Innovate Limerick, and Limerick City and County Council to become the Limerick Champion last month.
Last weekend, Danny brought his creation to Kinsale where he did battle with some 25 other professional chefs from all over the country all seeking top spot.
With a public vote deciding the winner, the best chowder was judged by the ticket holders at the event with over 1,000 casting votes.
Winning chef Danny Martinez Doyle said afterwards, “I never thought I’d win…it was great just to come here and cook, I can’t believe we’ve won!” The modest young chef and his team, when chosen, raised many a cheer from the crowd.
Organiser Liam Edwards from the Good Food Circle thanked all, chefs and their teams for travelling to Kinsale and putting on such a fine display of seafood. “It is a great day for seafood, a great day for chowder, and a great day for everybody,” he said.
