7 reasons the Irish chipper is a culinary marvel
CHIPS, CHIPS, CHIPS.
Chips. They’re all good, all the time. No matter how bad chips might be, they’re still pretty good. And you know where they’re at their best?
Ah, it’s the CHIPPER of course.
1. It’s pretty much the best part of a night out
Feck all that other stuff. It’s all just preamble to the chipper, really. Plus, if you didn’t get the shift in the clurb then you can always seduce someone over garlic cheese fries.
And hey, if they turn you down, you can always eat the face off a batter burger.

2. Shameless self-indulgence
We’re all in it together in the chipper. It’s a treat, sure. There’s no judgement in a chipper – not from the staff, not from your fellow patrons. It’s one place where you can let your freak flag fly and get ketchup all over yourself.

It’s never the same if you forget and have to do it yourself at home.
