Dublin Gastronomes Get A Taste... For the fifth scrumptious year in a row the delicious 'Taste of Dublin' festival returns to the yummy Iveagh Gardens this appetising weekend – altogether: mmmmmmmmm. We were down at the launch yesterday scrounging for photos of celebs and the scraps of gourmet food that fell from their gilded plates... Chris de Burgh, Rosanna Davison Our hats go off to the organisers of the Taste of Dublin festival folks, each year they put on a great spread in the immaculate Iveagh Gardens with all the top Irish chefs and restaurants there to give all us foodies a wee bite of their sumptuous fare. Kevin Dundon, Gino D'Acampo, Jean Christophe Novelli The aroma of free food wafting across the Dublin air drew our under-nourished tsetse fly covered snappers over to the off Harcourt Street park for a nibble and a natter with the celebrity chefs such as: Kevin Dundon, Gino D'Acampo, Jean Christophe Novelli, Conrad Gallagher, Nick Munier, and Darina Allen. Diane Davison, Rosanna Davison But it seemed like all the big ego cooks got a tad star-struck when Chris de Burgh's handsome Davison clan showed up at the event launch - as they all lined-up to have their pictures taken with Rosanna and her Mammy & Daddy like giddy school kids. Awwwww. Wonder if they are all Rosanna.ie fans too? Conrad Gallagher, Nick Munier Other than that lot above other peeps at the T.O.D. launch included: Karen Koster, Avril Bannerton, Fergal Quinn, Denise Quinn, Mairead Farrell, Aoife Moulton, Tara O'Leary, Siobhan O'Connor, Brendan Courtney, Derrick Carberry, Harry Crosbie, Mike Ryan, and many more... Karen Koster Sponsored by Superquinn, Taste of Dublin runs from 10th - 13th at The Iveagh Gardens and will see 30,000 hungry punters looking to be fed foolish this weekend. Don't forget your Florins. Jean Christophe Novelli Avril Bannerton, Fergal Quinn, Denise Quinn Mairead Farrell Aoife Moulton Tara O'Leary, Siobhan O'Connor Brendan Courtney, Derrick Carberry Harry Crosbie Mike Ryan Darina Allen Diane Davison, Chris de Burgh, Rosanna Davison Taste of Dublin Dancer

DANCER. Nora – NY NY June 14, 2010 - 17:32 Tara O'Leary is seriously F@cking Fab! I love her! Sebastian Longchamps – Jenny Lee's knickers June 14, 2010 - 15:29 Marie - Woody Harrelson was in town at the weekend and a friend of mine said he was at Taste. Problem solved? Of course that would be too big a celeb for Showbiz to capture...... marie – Dublin June 14, 2010 - 10:10 did anyone see the guy at Saturday's early session with the bald head and cream blazer - i swear i know him form some film or show but for the life of me can i think which and its bugging me BIG time lol – dublin June 13, 2010 - 15:13 The best looking girl IS the dancer. I'm not going to comment bout how scary Tara o'Leary looks (who is she anyway, what does she do?) Oh and look who she is with! Siobhan O'Connor who is frequently on this. I still don't know what she does but boy does she get her wardrobe wrong everytime! I don't like rosannas outfit either but she look beautiful. Jules June 12, 2010 - 23:48 Commentator. I think Im in love with you. Are you a man or a woman? Psychologist – Dublin June 12, 2010 - 14:59 This is some sick sh!t. Commentator – online June 12, 2010 - 14:38 I'm with Sebastian on this. Either the subject of his comment is comically sensitive about all mention of their name, or the moderator here has let the power go to his head. I know for a fact that 45% of all traffic on this website is directly linked to people searching for the latest cogent observations on societal trends by Commentator and Monsieur Longchamps, so this trigger-happy censorship is an alarming development. Sebastian Longchamps – St. Stephen's Green June 12, 2010 - 13:08 If my comment saying that Avril Bannerton looked really well is removed I don't know what's going to be left on this site...... Seamus' Ma – Drogheda June 11, 2010 - 22:57 I'm ashamed to be your ma! gatsby-esque – omnipresent June 11, 2010 - 21:46 Comment Removed. Sebastian Longchamps – Heathrow Airport June 11, 2010 - 17:20 Comment Removed. Lord Carson June 11, 2010 - 16:29 Thanks for the reference Commentator. After seeing these photos it is safe to conclude that Derrick Carberry (who?) is the furthest thing from Action-Man. On another note, good to see Mike Ryan dressed himself up for the occasion Camille June 11, 2010 - 15:15 DERRICK CARBERRY = ACTION MAN Commentator – online June 11, 2010 - 15:04 Lord Carson, if you look at the Showbiz.ie archives, in particular the story titled: "Huzzah! Assets Gals Pose For ShowBiz.ie..." you'll see that this peculiar look is not unusual for Derrick.

Lord Carson June 11, 2010 - 10:42 Why is Derrick Carberry wearing clothes that are three sizes too small for him and boots that look like they came from a dumpster. defender – of the faith June 11, 2010 - 10:32 @ Funny..... dude, you're color blind!
