SPECIAL DINNER NO. 71

The influence of the Irish has been huge in pretty much every area of American life from politics to pubs, potatoes to poetry. Join us for a special dinner exploring the roots of traditional Irish cookery in American cuisine. Our menu will take us to southwest Ireland this month as we explore classic Irish cuisine.

James Beard-nominated Chef Alex Young selected many of the dishes featured on the menu for this full-flavored event to shed light on the current rediscovery in southern Ireland of traditional and local culinary roots. We are also excited to feature Kerrygold Irish butter – the sweet, rich and flavorful butter produced in the centuries-old Irish dairy tradition.
