Joe McNamee: Is it time to subsidise Irish hospitality?
Our shared and serious passion for music and film led my daughter and I to The Bear, a truly magnificent TV series (TV being the new 'film') set in a Chicago restaurant with Michelin star aspirations. As a recovering chef, I can confirm its authenticity, at times almost as stressful as actually being back in a slammed kitchen, slaving under a sociopathic bully — it is why some chefs I know can't watch it. Flush with marvellously written characters, we struggle to pick our favourite. We adore transcendently serene pastry chef Marcus and the sweetly naive Fak brothers; we flat out venerate jittery, driven head chef Sydney. Jamie Lee Curtis's monstrous matriarch is nitro-glycerine plonked next to an open furnace; her children, Michael, Natalie and Carmen Berzatto, three differing studies of the impact of her dysfunctional parenting. Every single character, even minor, is fully realised. And then there is 'Cousin' Richie Jerimovich (Ebon Moss-Bachrach), who runs front of house. A loud, boorish and deeply obnoxious character, we spent the first few episodes wishing him serious harm until, gradually, tiny slivers of his humanity and vulnerability began to slip through. But he utterly transformed in our eyes when sent on a training internship to the fictional Ever, 'the world's best restaurant', site of his Damascene culinary conversion. Breaking through his innate cynicism, he comes to understand why high-end restaurants operate as they do and, most of all, learns to appreciate the complexities of service and its fundamental importance in a good restaurant. After that, he could do little wrong in our eyes, even when he does — regularly — do wrong. Over a decade ago, after a major food awards in Dublin, two of Ireland's finest restaurant managers and I wound up in deep conversation about service, the lack of awards for service, wondering whether it related to the marked decline in service standards, from what was always a wildly varying benchmark. Irish restaurant service has only worsened since; good service — the exception rather than rule — is an unexpected pleasure rather than automatic entitlement when dining out. When Patrick Guilbaud first opened his now Michelin two-starred Dublin restaurant, it took him a while to realise most of his non-French waiters, many of them students, viewed their role as a mere staging post en route to a 'real' career. Indeed, working as a waiter/server has rarely been viewed as a profession in this country even though innate Irish sociability makes for a natural-born host. Service is about so much more than ferrying plates to and from the table and it takes time and effort to train even the good ones. Imagine the frustration when they then leave for a 'real job'! For all the advance 'engagement' — online, reviews and so on — a diner's first human interaction with a restaurant is through service. A good first impression is vital; sustaining it throughout the course of an entire meal, equally so. (Take note, all servers who seem to ghost a table once desserts are served.) More worryingly, I see the decline in standards of Irish restaurant service as a canary in the coalmine for the Irish hospitality sector overall. Many businesses operate on a fiscal model that wouldn't last kissing time in other industries, while a dining public, ignorant of the harsh realities of hospitality, only ever registers the rising prices of eating out. When the minimum wage was raised to €13.50 an hour last January, the best restaurateurs acknowledged the additional financial stress on their business models, yet never begrudged their employees the extra 80c an hour. In Dublin, for example, many of the lowest-paid hospitality workers have to commute from far outside the city to afford accommodation — if they can find it. There is one question that gauges the real viability of Irish hospitality like no other: as a waiter/server, will I qualify for a mortgage? (It applies equally to lower-paid kitchen jobs.) The answer is almost inevitably, no. Which begs another question — is it time we start a conversation about subsidising the Irish restaurant sector, as we do with the farming sector? TABLE TALK A recent soiree at The Metropole Hotel to launch its newly designed reception/lobby area and a casual all-day menu sees a venerable old aristocrat of Cork hospitality substantially sharpening its offering in tune with the overall energy sense of energy that has imbued its home, MacCurtain St, in recent times, reminding that it is about so much more than just an annual venue for 'The Jazz'. In further reference to today's main theme, belated congrats to the Market Lane group for their ongoing achievements at the Fáilte Ireland Employer Excellence Awards, voted on anonymously by employees, and, yes, the ML group does number more than a few well-supported professional waiters/servers in their ranks. Vada café in Dublin's Stoneybatter, may cleave to a very familiar formula for what is currently cool in casual dining but more than gets away with it on the back of some tasty food and a genuine commitment to sustainability and zero waste so, additional opening hours to serve dinner on Friday and Saturday evenings could be well worth checking out. TODAY'S SPECIAL Make Hummus, Not War print from Bia Blasta This week's choice is more about food for the mind and soul than the belly, a handsome print from Blasta Books inspired by their latest authors, Izzeddeen Alkarajeh and Eman Aburabi, and the original version of the Free Palestine mural painted next to their Izz Café in Cork City. Available in A4 (€25) and A3 (€38) sizes and shipped anywhere in the world, all profits will be donated to World Central Kitchen.

Doireann Garrihy is every first time mum as she shares hilarious vid with sister Ailbhe
Doireann Garrihy has shared a hilarious video of herself and her sister Ailbhe as the siblings are expecting together. Doireann is expecting her first child with her husband Mark Mehigan, and has been documenting her journey to future motherhood. Of course, it's even better when someone close to you is also expecting, with Doireann's sister Ailbhe expecting her third child with her husband Ruaidhri. However, for Ailbhe, it may not be quite as fun as she and Doireann joked that the younger Garrihy has been bombarding her with questions. Sharing a video from the waiting room ahead of a doctor's appointment and set to the PinkPantheress song Illegal, Doireann jokingly said that her sister is 'trying to be pregnant on your 3rd baby in peace,' while Doireann is the pregnant sister who 'WhatsApps 14 times a day.' An exasperated Ailbhe is then branded as 'hoping sister leaves her alone' while a grinning Doireann has 'no intention of leaving her alone.' 'When you're the only ones in the waiting room at 7.45am, you try a trend,' Doireann captioned the video, with comments loving that the sisters were expecting around the same time. Doireann and Ailbhe are expecting together — Doireann with her first child, Ailbhe with her third — with Doireann joking that she's wrecking Ailbhe's head with questions. Pic: Brian McEvoy 'Ailbhe's pregnant too? Great planning,' one commented, while another added 'myself and my 2 sisters were pregnant 11 years ago together, my mother said she nearly needed to have us visit by appointment!' 'How did ye do this without laughing,' another commented, while Ailbhe herself added 'lads allergic to us.' Doireann and her husband Mark Mehigan are expecting their first child together. Pic: Instagram/Mark Mehigan Doireann has been open about her journey to future motherhood, and spoke about having to try and keep it under wraps before announcing the good news to the world; although, some people put two and two together when seeing her in the doctor's office. 'I would actually love to make a suggestion… there should be signs in waiting rooms in maternity hospitals,' Doireann told Ailbhe on a recent episode of her Doireann and Friends podcast. 'I don't know how it would be worded, but I do think there should be some sort of a 'this is a confidential place… 'Something like 'if you see something, act like you don't see them,' Doireann added, with Ailbhe in agreement. Doireann went on to say that someone spotted her at a maternity hospital prior to her and Mark going public with the news, saying 'when I hadn't announced [the pregnancy], I hadn't said it to anyone, there was one person who kept writing to me on Instagram saying 'I think you have news for your followers, wink wink.'' 'So when you get that message, of course, my brain went into overdrive. I was like 'okay, I've been seen in the hospital, I look pregnant, who have I said it to that maybe has said it to someone, somewhere?' 'Surely women need to understand to just say nothing… there are many reasons why someone might find themselves in a maternity hospital. It doesn't automatically mean they're expecting. And I've tried to become so aware of that whenever I go for a scan — there's every chance you'll see someone you know. For the most part, act like you don't see them. And if you do see them, don't ask why they're there.' Despite being spotted at the maternity hospital, Doireann kept the pregnancy under wraps before she and Mark announced their good news back in April, saying that the couple are set to experience their greatest chapter yet.
