No one loves a pseudo-holiday more than burger-bar operators. Come Monday, the corned beef will pile on and the Guinness will flow. Special St. Patrick's Day burgers will be menued at many spots. The Buck Burgers & Brew in St. Joseph, Mich., is readying not just Irish Pub Burgers but also Fish N Chips, Irish Egg Rolls and, yes, a Reuben.
Boom Burger in Rochelle Park, N.J., will be serving its St. Patty La Frieda Burger. Doncha know that's a beef patty topped with peas, carrots, corn and ground beef in rich Guinness gravy and Cheddar, with a side of stewed cabbage, potato and onion.
Jake Melnick's Corner Tap in Chicago offers a "$5 Pre-Soak All-You-Can-Eat Breakfast" on Saturday. Fare includes Guinness pancakes with whiskey syrup, green eggs and ham, corned beef hash and more. Holy Cow Del Ray in Alexandria, Va., instead is doing an Irish Breakfast Burger (above): A grilled Angus patty with Cheddar cheese, smoked Irish-style banger (sausage), Guinness-cider-braised cabbage, fried egg and whole-grain mustard aïoli on a potato bun. You'd order that.
Here's what planned at a sampling of other burger joints across this great land (plus Canada):
