| Once again Saint Patrick's Day is here, and all around the country restaurants, pubs and taverns are preparing by investing in green food coloring and loading up on potato recipes. Restaurants who want to make a big splash on this Saint Patty's day might want to consider adding buffet chafers to their shopping list, as hot Irish food will be on many minds this coming week. Traditional Irish food is simple and delicious, as such many families will be sticking to the classic ways this Saint Patty's Day. Old favorites include braised beef shoulder served with rosemary potatoes and fresh spinach, beer-glazed pork chops and the classic corned beef and cabbage. Some Irish chefs have begun turning away from their simplistic routes and opted for a more worldly approach towards cooking. Popular combinations include Thai-influenced green curry with Irish vegetables like carrots and cabbage, lemon grass infused shepherd's pie and more. "The Irish are rediscovering traditional cooking, revaluing locally grown ingredients and intelligently adapting diverse culinary influences," former editor of Saveur magazine Coleman Andrews tells OregonLive.com. Regardless of what's on the menu this Saint Patrick's Day, chefs should consider investing in wire chafing stands, a safe, reliable and easy-to-clean device to keep food warm while the chef's attention are drawn away by a tasty pint of Guinness. |
