The decor screams of retro American diners, pink Cadillacs, Vespa scooters and Bill Haley "Rockin' around the clock". Whatever the buzz is about this newish eatery, it's infectious, making it one of the toughest spots around in which to bag a table."
"Barry Stephens first came to notice with his 147 Deli on Parnell Street 10 years ago, when he was just 28. It quickly became the pinnacle of the city's sambo world, with salivating customers scurrying from their city offices and heading daily to D1 for his big fresh luscious meaty numbers. During the pandemic lockdowns, Stephens had the punters queuing again, this time at his Just Chubbys taco truck on the Clontarf Road."
