Tanya Sweeney: Why are we getting excited about soulless, tasteless US junk food chains like Taco Bell?
Buy from the retail behemoths and you're probably helping a billionaire buy his latest yacht – but it seems the 'Hollywood effect' of hearing about these brands in American movies for decades is making us undervalue homegrown businesses Yesterday at 21:30 Given our form with similar foodstuffs from the USA, it's fairly safe to assume that our interest will be more than a little piqued when Taco Bell opens in Ireland later this summer. We already have a slew of Mexican restaurants here, from the stunning El Grito on Mountjoy Square in Dublin to 17 Boojum restaurants across Ireland. But something tells me that Irish people will queue in their droves for the Mexican fast-food chain as soon as it lands in its first (as yet unspecified) Applegreen location.

Adored Italian restaurant with 66 branches across the UK closes in city centre after serving customers for over 10 years
A BELOVED Italian high street icon with nearly 70 sites across the UK has shut its doors in a major city centre after 10 years of service. The popular chain on Birmingham 's busy New Street closed down after a decade of serving up pizzas, pastas and salads. 2 A sign in the window of Ask Italian - on the corner unit where New Street meets Bennetts Hill - told customers that it would be closing for good. The same sign also advised customers that their nearest branch is at Merry Hill - and that movers were already clearing the space. The message to its loyal customers read: "Thank you. Your Ask Italian Birmingham is closing on May 5." They added that it had been a "pleasure to be part of your community". "We hope you've enjoyed it as much as we have," the chain said. "Your local Ask Italian is now Merry Hill Shopping Centre." It is unclear what the plans are for the unit's new space. Ask Italian is part of the Azzurri Group. The group also operates chains Boojum, Zizzi, Coco di Mama and Dave's Hot Chicken. Viral chicken chain Dave's Hot Chicken announced it would be expanding into the UK market last year. Beloved steakhouse chain to shut ALL its restaurants after collapsing into administration with no explanation According to reports, the growing chain could potentially fill up the empty space Ask Italian has left behind. A Boojum location opened on New Street last year. If Dave's Hot Chicken opens, it will become one of five chicken shops on the stretch of New Street now referred to by some locals as the "Chicken Quarter". It comes after another beloved restaurant closed down after 10 years of service in Sheffield. Koko had what locals labelled the city's best sushi, but announced its closure from April 14 last month. Also in late April, a popular steakhouse closed all its branches after going bust. The chain went into administration without any explanation according to reports. 2
