I could have happily sat and talked to Ryan Dolan all day. I’m not entirely convinced that Ryan felt the same way. He had prep to do and a booked-out restaurant to cater for, but I was absolutely on the edge of my seat in a kind of over the top, slightly nerdy way getting to talk about my two great loves; French culture and cooking. This man is a thinker and a doer. He has a larger vision of hospitality and his role as a chef within it all and where he wants to take it, as well as a respectful appreciation of traditions and what has gone before. To all those who have booked out Cabale so that I can’t get in for quite some time, the French phrase, vous allez vous regaler, says it all…you are in for such a treat.
