  3. “You’re waiters tonight will be much cooler than you.”

    OMG, YOU’RE! A MINOR GRAMMATICAL ERROR! LET’S ALL POINT AND LAUGH AND RIDE ABOUT ON OUR HIGH FUCKING HORSES.

  4. am i right in understanding that the “crackbird” in question is chicken and that this is a kinda low-slung, nonchalant version of KFC/Nandos?

    sorry, just trying to triangulate the extent to which this makes my bones want to jump out of my body and beat myself to a bloody pulp.

    • forget it.
      i broke my embargo on reading articles containing the word “eatery” and got all the information i need to know. this will be the last typing I do before my phalanges leap offa my meningies and claw me blind like some sort of glue-huffing smack-jonesin’ crackbird

  5. What’s next up on the menu, Joe? Cooking up your aioli on a spoon over a candle at the table? Ketchup in a syringe? A rolled up bank note with your coke? Granted, the interior is like a crack house … but does anyone else feel a little ill-at-ease at the Dublin’s hipsteriest hipsterateur’s ongoing choice of marketing vernacular. The word “Crack” in the title? Okay, it’s a little bit funny, however the words “Optimism is the new Smack” emblazoned on staff T-shirts, well, that’s kind of pushing it a little bit.
    There is something hypocritical, and very Irish, about our middle class’s attitude to drugs and addiction. We live in a society that has nothing but disgust and disdain for (the huge number of) those who are afflicted with addiction, yet we are happy to get our dining jollies delivered through the lexicon of drug abuse. Addiction is a disease, would it be just as “hip” if Joe set up a CancerChicken restaurant? With Chemo burgers and “Terminally Illin’” T-shirts on the staff …?
