The man who made cooking sexy has spiced up his Dublin city restaurant menu just in time for the summer. Marco Pierre White, of eponymous MPW Steakhouse and Grill on Dublin’s Dawson Street, has added a pinch of his past and an element of eighties to his steakhouse menu.
With new London inspired dishes such as ‘Lyonnaise salad’ for starters and ‘veal chops with béarnaise sauce’ for mains, Marco believes temperatures are set to soar for diners on Dawson Street.
Simultaneously, to tie in with his new menu launch, Marco will take to the TV like never before where he will wow viewers in his new series ‘Kitchen Burnout’ which will be aired on ITV. The man who tossed complaining customers aside like a salad and booted irritating staff to the bin is likely to once again win the hearts of the public.
Celebrating in style the Fitzpatrick family, who run the MPW restaurant, hosted a cocktail and canapés reception on the outdoor terrace. Among those who attended were Sean Munsanje, RTE’s Darren Kennedy and Sandra Byrne, Michael O’Doherty, Caroline Scott and well known food critics Paolo Tullio and Myles McWeeney.
