Guardian rates Leo Burdock's in Top 10 Chippies

Leo Burdock's chippie is a Dublin institution. Sat in the shadow of Christchurch Cathedral, the shop has occupied the same spot on Werburgh Street since 1913 and, according to a spokesman, been through more than its fair share of bother. 'Burdock's,' he shrugs, 'has survived two World Wars.' And then there's their celebrity patrons. In recent years, Liam Neeson, Tom Cruise and Naomi Campbell have all taken their place in the queue for classics such as breaded Dublin Bay prawns, chips thicker than your thumb, and, of course, haddock cooked in Leo Burdock's batter, made from a secret recipe guarded with vigilance. The beauty of Burdock's is that there is no restaurant; it's purely a take-it-away or leave-it deal. Which means you have to eat your supper in the way God intended - from the paper with a wooden fork.

Travel Itinerary

3-1-1 for Carry -Ons

Make Your Trip Better Using 3-1-1

3-1-1 for carry-ons = 3 ounce bottle or less; 1 quart-sized, clear, plastic, zip-top bag; 1 bag per passenger placed in screening bin. One-quart bag per person limits the total liquid volume each traveler can bring. 3 oz. container size is a security measure.

Consolidate bottles into one bag and X-ray separately to speed screening.

Be prepared. Each time TSA searches a carry-on it slows down the line. Practicing 3-1-1 will ensure a faster and easier checkpoint experience.

3-1-1 is for short trips. If in doubt, put your liquids in checked luggage.

Declare larger liquids. Prescription medications, baby formula and milk (when traveling with an infant or toddler) are allowed in reasonable quantities exceeding three ounces and are not required to be in the zip-top bag. Declare these items for inspection at the checkpoint.

Come early and be patient. Heavy travel volumes and the enhanced security process may mean longer lines at security checkpoints.

TSA working with our partners. TSA works with airlines and airports to anticipate peak traffic and be ready for the traveling public.

TSA Security Regulations

TSA Security Regulations for flights departing the US are listed below.

Please note that travel beyond Ireland, as well as returning to the US from Ireland, may be governed by different regulations.

Current TSA regulations for passengers departing from airports in the US:

No liquids, gels, and/or aerosols are permitted EXCEPT one clear transparent resealable quart (1 liter) size plastic bag which may contain liquids, gels, and/or aerosols in containers of 3.4 oz. (100ml) capacity or less per container. The contents of the plastic bag must fit comfortably and the plastic bag must be completely closed/sealed and subjected to x-ray inspection separate from the passenger's carry-on bag.

You may have the items listed below, but you must declare them to TSA at the screening checkpoint if they are not contained in a clear transparent resealable 1 quart (1 liter) size plastic bag and/or are over 3.4 oz. (100ml).

• Baby formula/milk (to include breast milk), juice and baby food in containers if a baby or small child is traveling
• Medications (liquid, gels, and/or aerosol)
• Liquids (to include juice) or gels for diabetic or other medical needs

Liquids (including beverages), gels and/or aerosols purchased in the sterile area may be carried on board the aircraft.

For the latest travel guidelines, visit the Transportation Security Administration website. This site will provide you with up to the minute information regarding on board restrictions, travel advisories and much more.

Passengers should avoid or keep to a minimum any carry-on bags in order to expedite the screening process
