About Gruel Guerilla

Kevin is from Dublin. He loves food. He really loves food that comes from Ireland. He thinks Ireland is tip top. He fell so in love with food about 5 years he decided to do something about it. He set up News of the Curd with two goals in mind, showcase Irish producers and impress a very impressive person.

After a year of hosting dinners in his apartment every Wednesday and impressing the impressive person he felt it was time to go a bit further. He began Gruel Guerrilla with the motto ‘food anywhere, food everywhere’ and by God he means it. He built it with the same ethos as NOTC and Gruel Guerrilla took over. Always in search of Irish producers making the most wondrous of things, he found what he had always known about himself - he hoards. He once hoarded books and images, now he hoards producers and plates.

His interest turned to a career and a deeper love of each ingredient, wanting each of his diners to understand how he saw every item that came across his work top. His impressive person came on board, with their wonderful knowledge and passion. Their strong beliefs in growing and respecting. They built a garden, they wasted nothing and enjoyed everything. Their skills as both an artist and chef came together, beautifully drawn images accompanied menus, logos pop and our image went far. Thousands of people tried our food, most of them not knowing it all came from this little island, past the hands of a wonderful local and created into something very important to us. It’s always been about love, for a person, a place, a taste or just for ourselves.
