Continuing on from our Matriarch’s of Kilkenny’s discussion session in 2024, Savour Kilkenny Food Festival invites you to an unmissable session celebrating the men who’ve shaped and continue to shape Kilkenny’s vibrant food landscape. From artisan producers to award-winning distillers, these trailblazers have turned passion into thriving enterprise, flying the county’s flag on tables across Ireland and beyond.
Join chef, broadcaster and Kilkenny champion Edward Hayden for a candid, good-humoured discussion with some of our great food producers – to be announced soon!
Together they’ll delve into:
– The sparks that ignited their ventures
– Highs, lows and “hindsight moments” of building a food brand
– Balancing tradition with innovation (and regulation!)
– Lessons for the next generation of foodpreneurs
Whether you’re a curious foodie, a proud local, or an entrepreneur plotting your own culinary path, come hear the stories, taste the ambition, and be inspired by the Patriarchs of Kilkenny.
