Irish Times Off Topic

Fast food doesn't have to be unhealthy or unethical says Michelin-starred chef JP McMahon, who wants to establish a chain of high-quality fast food restaurants. Is such a thing possible? Consumer Affairs correspondent Conor Pope joins Fionn and Hugh to ask JP some questions about his lofty ambition. Later in the show Irish Times TV critic Bernice Harrison pops in to discuss the passionate reaction inspired by Diarmaid Ferriter's scathing review of Tim Pat Coogan's latest book in The Irish Times last Saturday, and how hard it is to be a critic on this small island. Finally there's time for some quick praise of the Brand New Retro book and Danny Boyle's Steve Jobs biopic.
