#015: Frank Curran, Petronella - Savour Food Provenance

This week I’m back on the restaurant trail for the Savour Kilkenny Food Provenance Award. It’s a new award for the 2019 festival that’s seeking to recognise eateries in Kilkenny for their work with local and regional produce and producers through seasonal cooking.

This week it’s the turn of Petronella Restaurant on the Butterslip in Kilkenny City centre, and to owner Frank Curran.

Frank is an absolute gem of a host, he’s passionate about food and what goes on the plate, a joy that’s matched by his enthusiasm for the building you’ll find Petronella in when you get to hear the stories in person.

Here we're chatting over lunch for a walk through his #tastekilkenny offerings, his Cartoon Saloon inspired menu choices, working with his chefs and suppliers to plan menus and more.

If you're involved in the food sector at any level, I'd love to hear from you. Email me - [email protected] - to share your story and start the conversation.
