Feast on ‘Ireland’s Best Hotel Burger’!

By Michelle Crean
A delicious mouthwatering feast created by one local hotel has just been named 'Best Hotel Burger in Ireland'!
On Wednesday, staff at Hotel Killarney were over the moon to learn zia a Zoom ceremony presented by TV personality Brian Dowling, that they had been named one of the best in the country, as fast-food joints, family owned-pubs, hotels, and speciality burger restaurants all sought an accolade.
Head Chef at Hotel Killarney, John Byrne, had his work cut out as he was up against some stiff competition but his skills proved they couldn't be beaten as the winning announcement, part of National Burger Day yesterday (Thursday), was made.
It's Kepak’s fourth annual National Burger Day which encouraged customers to get out and have their say by voting for their favourite burger, while also showing some much-needed support for local food outlets and operators as they emerge from recent pandemic related closures.
"We at Hotel Killarney are absolutely thrilled to have won 'Best Hotel Burger in Ireland'," Louise Daly, Social Media Coordinator with Hotel Killarney, told the Killarney Advertiser.
"We knew we were up against some stiff competition. It is a credit to our Head Chef John Byrne and his team for the hard work and passion they literally bring to our guest's dining tables every day. We would like to thank all of our staff and guests who got behind us to vote for Hotel Killarney. We look forward to serving many more burgers in the future!"
For every burger purchased and a photo shared online with the hashtag #nationalburgerday, a meal was donated to Simon Communities across the country, with over 14,000 meals donated in 2020 as part of the campaign.
