Glenda's Chocolate Salty Balls...

The weather gave us four seasons every ten minutes and yet it was still a rather tasty weekend. Over at the lovely Iveagh Gardens we had another year of culinary delights, festive fare, and gorgeous Glenda with the Taste of Dublin 2013...

If you live in the Portobello part of Dublin, The Iveagh Gardens feels a bit like your back yard, especially on a hot summer's day. But seeing as you were as likely to drown as get sunstroke last weekend, none of the local residents were too put out by Taste of Dublin taking over the wee city park.

TOD13 kicked off last Thursday with all the media types getting in to sample the finest fare before the great unwashed public got access to the grub. And there was a steady flow of both celeb types and hungry punters over the 4 days we're glad to report. A grand day out you'll find.

Celebrity chefs such as Jonray Sanchez-Iglesias, Peter Sanchez-Iglesias, Clodagh McKenna, Edward Hayden, and Ryan Stringer popped out to say hello last Thursday. As did Xpose messer Glenda Gilson making the most of the freebies... Stuffing her face with chocolate balls while getting Thai massages... Well for some.

So there you have it folks, Taste of Dublin 2013, still going strong... If you missed it this one we’re pretty sure they’ll be back invading the Iveagh Gardens next year. If only the weather was as dependable.
