New head chef at Kelly's Resort on fine dining barbeque style, why Rory McIlory was wrong and how producers 'do the hard work'

"The newly appointed head chef at The Sea Rooms at Kelly's Resort in Rosslare believes that in his world, it is the farmers and fishmongers who do all the hard work before he merely presents the produce properly."

"“The producers have put in generations of work we're lucky to be able to use what they produce. Farmers and fishmongers do the hard work and all we can do is respect that by cooking the food as well as we can and presenting it properly.”"

David Harte, newly appointed head chef at The Sea Rooms at Kelly’s Resort in Rosslare, emphasizes respect for the people who produce ingredients. He credits farmers and fishmongers with generations of hard work that make the restaurant’s food possible. He believes the chef’s role is to honor that effort by cooking the food as well as possible and presenting it properly. He frames his work as preparation and presentation rather than the source of the ingredients, highlighting gratitude toward producers and careful handling of their produce.
