Story

At Food Show, we are obsessed with creating exceptional food. Ask anyone who has experienced our renowned ‘Steak Frites’ canapé – the devotion invested in its creation is palpable in every delectable bite...

For instance, did you know that our chefs will only use muddy Pierre Kofman potatoes? Which, after peeling, are painstakingly cut into matchstick-sized pieces and then rinsed to remove excess starch before being blanched for 1 minute, strained and then left to cool.

The potato chips are then fried for around 4 minutes at 155°C exactly, during which time they are carefully turned to ensure the perfect level of crispiness. Finally we remove any excess oil with absorbent paper and sprinkle the fries with fine sea salt. And what about the Irish striploin steak or the béarnaise dip? Take it from us – the approach is just as meticulous...
