In yesterday's April edition of FOOD&WINE (still available to read online, here), Jules Mak shares Hush Restaurant's best-selling sub recipe.
The coronavirus pandemic has been brutal for many small-business owners. Retail shops, gyms and bars closed for months, while restaurants struggled to subsist on takeout. But even as many business owners closed their doors for good, others saw opportunities to start something new.
Take ex-housemates, Peter Burke and Jules Mak, for example. The pair joined forces in September to bring a burger bar and sandwich shop to Dublin 6. In our April edition of FOOD&WINE, which came out yesterday, April 4 free with the Business Post newspaper, co-owners of Hush Restaurant, Peter Burke and Jules Mak, chat to Emma Blanchfield on how food became their lockdown saviour and the challenges they faced opening up a restaurant in the middle of a pandemic. Don't worry if you missed out on the issue, the full article (and magazine) is available to read over on businesspost.ie.
In the meantime, however, enjoy this recipe courtesy of Jules Mak for Hush Restaurant's best-selling sandwich, The Dzaddy.
