We had a truly unforgettable evening last Saturday, 18th April, celebrating LâEcrivain and the remarkable legacy of Chef Derry Clarke & his wife Sallyanne Clarke. In fact, we're still on a high from it here at The Spotted Dog!
It was an absolute privilege for our Chef Brendan and the team at The Spotted Dog,
Chef Rob Curley from Slemish Market Supper Club
to share the kitchen again with Chef Derry and recreate some of LâEcrivainâs iconic MICHELIN Guide dishes, including the unforgettable Langoustines in Kataifi pastry, lemon aioli, pickled cucumber & chilli jam, alongside other timeless classics.
The kitchen was filled with laughter, memories, and stories from the golden days of us working together in their iconic Baggot Street restaurant in Dublin city. A night of reminiscing, friendship, and extraordinary food was had.
Thank you to Chef Derry and Sallyanne for sharing this special celebration of Irish gastronomy, to Chef Rob & Chef Gary of Slemish Supper Club, legends in their own right, to
our incredible staff at The Spotted Dog, and to everyone who joined us for this incredible dining experience.
