The Irish Times, in association with Fáilte Ireland, is on the hunt for favourite food destinations around Ireland, North and South: places that combine memorable eating experiences with great local produce and beautiful surrounds. Or it could simply be an area with a vibrant local food culture expressed through cafes, food trucks, artisan food makers and markets. You don’t have to be Nigella Lawson or Yotam Ottolenghi to write about food, just share your knowledge and we’ll do the rest. We’re offering four €250 Good Food Ireland vouchers for the submissions that inspire us most. To inspire you, here are some accounts by Irish Times journalists of their favourite food memories from around Ireland: Favourite food destinations: From a death row-worthy meal to a carvery to rule them all.
