Happy Monday! Only a few more days until St. Patrick’s Day, which means my crock pot is going to be stuffed to the brim with delicious, salty corned beef cabbage, potatoes, and carrots. And I’m picking up a case of Guinness, too.
The food we eat on Saint Patrick’s Day isn’t really an Ireland staple, but Irish immigrants opted for it since they were used to eating salt pork back home.
If you’ve never made this dish before, consider it this year, especially since there’s this blizzard coming through. Seems like a great excuse to make it early in the week; that way, you’ll have a hearty meal to enjoy after you shovel!
NOTE: Due to the expected weather, we suggest calling ahead before setting out for events at the beginning of the week. Who knows how many inches we’ll get!
Irish menu specials galore! In honor of Saint Patrick’s Day, restaurants are pushing out their Irish menu specials this week and into the weekend. So, start your week off by heading to Karlton’s Cafe in Quakertown for some Irish breakfast, lunch and dinner. They’re cooking up shamrock pancakes, Reuben omelettes, chocolate stout French toast, garlic stout burgers, and more! You’ll find the complete menu here.
Also Smoke ‘n Dudes is cooking up some St. Patrick’s Day food, but you need to call in advance in order to set aside some corned beef and cabbage. They have ham and cabbage with potatoes and ham and cabbage soup too. You can call 215.752.5500 to place your order.
Liberty Hall March Madness. Liberty Hall Pizza is having a big March Madness and other shenanigans celebration this Tuesday, March 14. The evening will kick off at 6:30 pm with Bucks County entertainer Dwayne Dunlevy, who is returning to the Back Room of the restaurant to entertain diners.
Owner Chris Bryan said that the first Dwayne’s World event was a huge hit and it sold out right after they announced it. So, this month, Dunlevy and Bryan are combining the season of March Madness and St. Patrick’s Day into one big shindig
Irish Pizza: Chris will debut an Irish-themed pizza consisting of corned beef, roasted cabbage and Gruyère cheese with a Dijon mustard aioli. The pizza is available March 14-19.
Also guests who make a reservation for Dunlevy’s Back Room event will be treated to three hours of unlimited family style pizzas, salads, lively entertainment, karaoke, stand-up comedy, games, giveaways and prizes and other “surprises.” Check it out!
Wednesdays for Women. Hamilton’s Grill Room is hosting another one of its Wednesdays for Women events this Wednesday, March 15. At this event, embrace your feminine power with Sue Begent, brain-child of the CoCreation Zone, an organization dedicated to supporting women who want to start and grow their own business.
If you haven’t been to one of these networking events yet, you’ll find it’s a delicious and fun way to meet new people and connect with like-minded women from various communities. And, each evening begins with a twenty-minute presentation on a given subject, followed by a three-course dinner including coffee or tea. Bring your business cards! Email the restaurant directly to make your reservation.
St.Practice Day at Bowman’s Tavern. In order to get everyone in the St. Paddy’s day spirit, Southern Wine & Spirits representative Danielle will be on site to promote the Jameson Trilogy at Bowman’s Tavern in New Hope.
Since it’s the day before St. Patrick’s Day, they’re calling it, St. Practice Day! Whiskeys being sampled include Jameson Irish Whiskey, Jameson Caskmates, and Jameson Black Barrel.
Farm-to-Table Dinner at Comfortfood & Kitchenette
Sunday, March 26, 2017 ∼ 6 pm
Join us on March 26 for an exquisitely prepared, seasonal and locally sourced dinner.
Comfortfood & Kitchenette is a cozy, farm-to-table BYOB restaurant, tucked away on a back street, in an innocuous block of stores in Morrisville, PA. It’s one of Morrisville’s best kept secrets. The locals know about it but I think everyone else needs to know about it too.
Comfortfood specializes in fresh, creative and seasonal cuisine with ingredients sourced from local farms. The menu includes dishes that meat-lovers, vegetarians and vegans can all enjoy.
