One thing is certain: Raglan Road Irish Pub and Restaurant knows how to celebrate!
We recently enjoyed sampling some of Raglan Road’s new menu items. And today, we’ve got some news for you about how they plan to celebrate their upcoming Tenth Anniversary!
The restaurant, located in Downtown Disney Orlando (soon to be Disney Springs), will mark their Tenth Anniversary in October. And to celebrate, they’re hosting a Master Chef Contest that could land YOU in Ireland!
Now through April 21st, amateur cooks are invited to submit “a video featuring an original three-course menu of appetizer, entrée and dessert worthy of the restaurant’s 10th anniversary celebration.”
Raglan Road’s Master Chef Kevin Dundon will judge entries and choose five finalists on April 28.
Finalists will all win an all-expenses-paid trip to Ireland! They’ll fly to the Emerald Isle on May 21 and stay at Dundon’s very own Dunbrody Country House Hotel in Southwest Ireland through May 26.
While there, they’ll have one-on-one time with Chef Kevin as he coaches them to perfect their cooking technique. There will also be excursions to the local farms and fishing locations where he sources his food. Finalists will enjoy some time in Dublin as well.

Then, on October 20, each finalist will prepare one of their dishes (chosen by Chef Kevin) for a private dinner at Raglan Road, as they vie for the “honorary title of Raglan Road Master Chef”!
Guests who enter the competition must be available for international travel from May 21-26, and must have a valid passport. For more details about this extraordinary opportunity, check out Raglan Road’s website, or visit their Facebook page.

Wow, what a great experience this will be for the winners! Are spouses included? Or, are the prizes only for the chefs?
Betsy — Doesn’t it sound awesome? As I understand it, the trip is only for the finalists, though. You can learn more by visiting Raglan Road’s Facebook page or website. Good luck!
I WANT to do this!! What an amazing opportunity!
That looks awesome! Will this be a show like Gordon Ramsey’s masterchef? Haha I love that show.
Alas, my wife is a fabulous cook, but she hates competition. She has duplicated and even improve on many meals and demos at Disney. I’m a lucky man.
Mark — Sounds like it! Maybe a trip to Ireland and cooking lessons from Chef Kevin will change her mind? 😀
Evelynn — I don’t think they’re going that grand. 😉 But it will give five finalists a chance to experience cooking lessons with Chef Kevin in Ireland, and the opportunity to be named honorary Raglan Road Master Chef. Sounds pretty exciting on its own!
Ashley W — Best of Luck!
