Taqueria El Milagro
This Monday, SnackBox tests out the deep south’s Mexican treats.
There are quite a few Mexican food options in Dublin. Round these parts we have Acapulco, Cactus Jack, Mexico to Rome, The Alamo and El Paso, to name but a few in the capital.  I’ve only ever eaten in Acapulco and The Alamo [...]

Snack Box’s Louisiana luncheon
This Monday, SnackBox takes time out from recording an album with his band Hoarsebox to take us on a comprehensive culinary tour of New Orleans.
So there I was in foodie paradise, New Orleans, with six people who all share the same love/hate relationship with food as I do. I want it [...]

SnackBox is in Mississippi  with his band Hoarsebox recording an album - check out their distinctly  un-southern tunes here. This Monday, he tries out traditional southern… sushi.
In between several ‘chicken on a stick’ based meals each day, I found the time to go to a sushi bar called Two Stick in Oxford Town.
Now I [...]

We get pancakes, they get the biggest party in the world.
Fat Tuesday or Mardi Gras is what they call today in the deep South. The logic is the same as our tradition: get as fat and fucked up as possible because there’s forty days and forty nights of misery on the way.
Mardi Gras doesn’t begin [...]

SnackBox is in Mississippi  with his band Hoarsebox recording an album - check out their distinctly  un-southern tunes here. This Monday, his chicken fever reaches new heights.

SnackBox has returned to Mississippi  with his band Hoarsebox to record an album. Every Monday, he’ll be spilling his guts on the oft-overlooked cuisine of America’s deep south.

Mississippi burnin’ in my a…
So I’m back in Mississippi. I’m officially eating too much spicy, smoked, chilli-related foodstuffs. BUT I CANT GET ENOUGH. Couple this with a bowl [...]

Now, before you all go screaming about this not being a cheap eat, I know. I know. Nonetheless, I’d saved up all my pennies for many months and managed to scrape together enough to treat myself to a few nights B&B, dinner, and spa treatments in the remote getaway that is Delphi Mountain Resort.
From the [...]

Payday, oh payday. So I’ve finally got that tyrannical bank manager off my back and it’s time for a well-deserved break. I know that Discover Ireland have some incredibly good deals, which you’ll find here (it’s a large file, beware!), but I’m torn, so I turn to you guys for advice.
Both Delphi Mountain Resort in [...]

Snack Box went in search of fried chicken to the source: Mississippi. However, fish and other such delights became the focal point of the gastro tour.
I generally try to avoid American states with towns called Coonsville. But my love for fried chicken got the better of me. So I went to Oxford, a small [...]

It wasn’t until we’d booked our accommodation, and hopped on the train, that we learnt San Sebastian is the most expensive city in Spain. Great.
But as soon as we arrived - feet weary from the Camino - we fell in love with this very popular beach city. It’s billed as the gastronomic capital of Spain [...]
