The Dig in Diner is run by a former world famous rock band, The Digettes who toured the world together performing on some of the world’s biggest stages. After falling on hard times they hung up their rock star boots and now they run the coolest diner in town – the “Dig In Diner”.
Cornsuela the corn-on-the cob, the lead singer of the band now rocks out in the kitchen as the head chef. Along with her three veggie mates, Broc, Spud, Carotté, they come up with the most scrumptious menus in the world.
Digger the Gardener (Paddy Courtney) supplies the diner with his juicy vegetables from his evergreen allotment and waitress, Muireann (Muireann Ní Chíobháin) makes sure all the diner guests are served a plate full of goodness every day.
Each episode begins with some comedy drama or dilemma unfolding within the Diner. Can Cornsuela cook up a Guacmole cake big enough to feed everyone? Does Digger have the right ingredients to help make some extra delicious spicy soup? Together with help from their diner guests, friends and even some of their favourite celebrities, they work together to solve any dilemmas and create the most lip-smacking delightful meals around.
The Digettes are a bunch of vegetables but they sure know how to make a diner feel welcome in the “Dig In Diner”.
