TV3’s The Restaurant 28/01/2015 
Another week and my mug is in the media again 🙂 This time on the foodie show The Restaurant as a diner and critic of the celebrity chef on TV3.
My hubby and I headed off to the 5* Wineport Lodge to be wined and dined in absolute style, from chauffeur driven luxury cars , to walking the red carpet, sipping on delicious champagne to dining with the legendary chef Marco Pierre White , it was a spectacular evening and one I would happily repeat in the morning.
The evening kicked off when we were picked up by our driver for the evening and taken to Wineport lodge, but from my point it started way earlier when I was picking out the frock and the accessories and doing the make up, the build up was magical, almost like a child on the build up to Christmas I was 🙂
We arrived at the venue, our door opened for us and ‘bam’ lights, camera, action, the red carpet is not for the faint hearted , the lights are bright, the cameras are flashing and you are attempting to listen to the director.
Off inside we go to being the wine sampling, and champagne sipping, mingling with the other diners and enjoying the canapés, we had no idea what wines we were tasting at the time but they were all absolutely gorgeous and went down a treat 🙂
About an hour or so later we made our way into the main dining room where we were show to our table by the fabulous, flamboyant yet charming John Healy.
Next came our waiter with water, more wine and our 1st glimpse of the menu, I will not go into the entire menu here as it will take all day and all the details on on the show here http://www.tv3.ie/player/show/708/89452/1/
Next in come the incredible , mountain of a man, Marco Pierre White, at this point my heart went out to the celebrity chef, I could could for nearly anyone but someone like him , I would fall to pieces.
We ate, we laughed, we tried to guess the celebrity chef and we just had the most enjoyable evening and at the end of the evening we were introduced to the celebrity , who I have to admit non of us guessed 🙂
Filming went on for a good 4-5 hours and we ended up with a 45 minute show, a really great show even if I do say so myself 🙂
Sure watch it here and tell me what you think http://www.tv3.ie/player/show/708/89452/1/
