Raglan Road fans will want to tune in to the new PBS Cooking Show, Modern Irish Food, starring Celebrity Chef Kevin Dundon!
Yup! This Disney Chef has his own TV show! Awesome! Who says Disney World is just burgers and ice cream?
In case you haven’t been there, dining at Raglan Road Irish Pub & Restaurant in Downtown Disney Orlando is a consistently yummo experience. On the menu — contemporary Irish dishes such as Dalkey Duo Sausages, Bangers and Booz with Guinness Stew and Mashed potatoes, and Keen Eye for Shepherd’s Pie! Plus the best soups in the whole wide world.
AND — Kevin Dundon was my very first interview waaaaay back when I started DFB in 2009. He was so kind and generous with his time; a true blue kind of guy. So let’s support his superstardom and tune in!

With award-winning chef Kevin Dundon at the helm, this new television series will focus on Irish cuisine made with local herbs and veggies. Just like at Raglan Road, Dundon gives viewers a modern look at traditional Irish dishes.
Based on his new cookbook, Kevin Dundon’s Modern Irish Food, the series will culminate with a “Christmas Made Easy” segment.
The show was filmed at Dundon’s four-star Dunbrody Country House Hotel & Restaurant, Cookery School and Spa, in Ireland. Check your local listings as episodes began airing October 26 in the Orlando area.
