In the opening episode of the series, Áine travels to London to meet Belfast-born chef Hugh Corcoran, the force behind the celebrated - and sometimes controversial - restaurant The Yellow Bittern.

Having cooked across Europe, Hugh has developed strong views about the modern hospitality industry. Since opening the restaurant with his partner Frances and friend Oisín, The Yellow Bittern has drawn intense public and critical attention for their distinctive Irish menu and uncompromising approach. From bookings only by phone or postcard to a strict cash only policy, even here in multicultural London, Hugh and his restaurant stand apart.

In the third episode, Áine travels to Belfast to meet Feargal Mac Ionnrachtaigh. 

Born in west Belfast in the early 1980s, Feargal grew up during the turbulent years of the Troubles, a time that brought profound loss and hardship to many families, including his own. Today, he plays a vital role in community development across the city, working in youth, cultural and community projects. Feargal's story offers a strong, entertaining and personal portrait - a  human story of renewal, rooted in family, his community and its culture.
