At Cafe Paradiso, we use a lot of produce from a very friendly farmer called Ulton. He supplies the restaurant with all kinds of fun things like kale, salads, beans, etc. He is our "Anthony John" of Cork. The chef at Cafe Paradiso decided to bring Amy and I for a tour one sunny afternoon at the famous farm...
This is yours truly in front of the restaurant...
