FORMER MICHELIN-STARRED chef Conrad Gallagher has closed his PoshBurger Bistro in Las Vegas, just three months after it opened to the public.
The Letterkenny restaurateur had opened the restaurant in the Summerlin area of Vegas in April, but within a month it was reported that staff were not being paid. Within two months of opening, a local butcher had claimed he wasn’t being paid and another vendor reported the restaurant to the district attorneys office.

The restaurant had been serving $29 Kobe burgers with truffle aioli, seared foie gras and frizzled onions and had garnered praise from Vegas food critics. John Curtas of Eating Las Vegas said that PoshBurger offered ‘the best hamburger Vegas neighbourhoods have ever seen”.
The mercurial chef, who became the youngest chef to win a Michelin Star for his work at Peacock Alley in Dublin, has seen a number of restaurants close in recent years, with his Salon Des Saveurs on Aungier Street and his Sligo venture, Conrad’s Kitchen both closed in 2011.
PoshBurger was due to be the first step in a Las Vegas empire which would have included a gourmet food store and wine shop; Gallagher The Grocer.

“…as long as the victim is male, this stuff is all (considered) fine (by other men).”
I fixed it for you. Have another look at the comments, it’s lads making light of this. Don’t go throwing a “waaaah..society doesn’t care about male victims” when it’s us men who mock male victims of CSA and DV.
Call it out when you see it from other guys, just like I’m doing now. If your friends make comments about boys abused by teachers, saying stuff like “I wish I’d had a teacher like that when I was in school” or “what’s he complaining about? He must be gay.” (all comments I’ve seen from lads on articles concerning male victims of sexually abusive teachers).
Or call it out when they say stuff like “If that’d been me it’d be a totally different story”, or “Jaysus, why didn’t he just act a man and stand up for himself” when talking about male victims of domestic violence.
Funny how religious nutbags have no problem killing/threatening to kill people they deem haven’t followed the teachings of their religion. The irony is baffling.
Say it as it is indeed, you mean the guy who is babbling on about the effects of carbon dioxide and global catastrophe while advertising 2L Jaguar cars. They are little more than voodoo merchants who have carved out a nice living for themselves with a take-my-word-for-it nonsense for those who know no better.
Feeble minded people are everywhere.
Low IQ people used to threaten Einstein also.
They used to think that having high mental abilities means you the work of the Devil himself.
In the Middle Ages Hawking would have been burned alive as an agent of Satan.
Where do you get this rubbish from Pat, the objections of the Pope at the time of Galileo in respect to the method of approach to heliocentricity was well founded as the astronomical facility which predicts astronomical events such as eclipses and transits cannot be used to prove that the Earth orbits the Sun while turning as it does so. It can only really be resolved with 21st century imaging but was just beyond the reach of the original heliocentric astronomers such as Copernicus,Kepler and Galileo. It takes nothing away from what Copernicus did however the specific technical objections of the Pope remain valid as it is impossible to account for the observed motions of the inner planets using the framework Copernicus and Kepler used.
This IQ business is a fable, we are all gifted with the same intelligence but people tend to be cunning, creative or productive in some measure. Newton was the Boris Johnson of astronomy, full of bluster and bravado but no depth nor substance to his agenda and his followers like Hawking exploit the eccentric jargon for lifestyles and reputations and no real concern for the discipline they disrupt and destroy.
“The demonstrations throughout the book [ Newton's Principia] are geometrical,
but to readers of ordinary ability are rendered unnecessarily
difficult by the absence of illustrations and explanations, and by the
fact that no clue is given to the method by which Newton arrived at
his results.” Rouse Ball 1908
Hawking is merely another clone in a succession of many and good luck to him, after all, there always has to be a living icon to keep the lifestyles and reputations of people who never left the classrooms of schools ad colleges going and great work if you can get it. The price is that productive astronomy lays in ruins for the indulgences of experimental theorists with their voodoo and bluffing.
I’ll tell you what I am not there Andy, I am not a follower of nonsensical academic jargon that mocks human intelligence but is force fed through the schools and classrooms as high intelligence. It is not a question of intelligence but rather curiosity , in this case – how the f@ck did a society get to believe it could control the planet’s temperature by scaling up the conditions in a common greenhouse to the planet itself. Boris Johnson had nothing on Newton, he could project authority while not actually knowing where he was going with his notions -
“Rule III. The qualities of bodies, which admit neither [intensification] nor remission of degrees, and which are found to belong to all bodies within the reach of our experiments, are to be esteemed the universal qualities of all bodies whatsoever.” Newton
If people can’t figure that statement out then they get what they deserve.
Do you believe in the laws of motions/physics,gravity and what not ?. It all boils down to that ‘method’ which began its existence as a rule but is now known as the ‘scientific method’. Maybe the English are given to following the dictates of eccentric toffs like Johnson and Newton but that is all it is, pure bluff and bluster passed off as high intelligence.
Silly man, I just allowed people to make up their own minds based on a statement as to whether you can scale up an observation at a human level to large scale observations such as astronomy or terrestrial sciences. An eccentric toff might therefore say that the fall of an apple and the planet’s motion around the Sun is the same thing or a greenhouse is the same as the planet Earth but the entire agenda now called the ‘scientific method’ is a bad joke . Read it again and if you can’t understand it you hardly are going to be able to know exactly what Sir Isaac tried to so -
“Rule III. The qualities of bodies, which admit neither [intensification] nor remission of degrees, and which are found to belong to all bodies within the reach of our experiments, are to be esteemed the universal qualities of all bodies whatsoever.” Newton
Nothing worse than an Irish Royal Society apologist.
