Who’s Hungry For St. Patrick’s Day?
Well, a ridiculous question because we all are! And with the unique food that is consumed today, it’s going to be a celebration – thanks to Pastrami!
Here’s a bit of history of St. Patricks Day and Pastrami:
“In Ireland, a traditional dish was bacon and cabbage. Beef was not as common for Ireland, at least not as much as pork. However, when the melting pot of New York came together, and the Irish saw their Jewish brethren enjoying this new cured corned beef, a brand new comfort food and tradition was born!”
Since then, this terrific meal has been joined by a crisp refreshing beverage that is St. Patrick themed as well:
Yes, green beer and pastrami is my “must eat” dish on St. Paddy’s Day! There are two great towns to do just that!
In Chicago, there is no better place to dig into a Pastrami sandwich and a cold local brew than at Manny’s Deli!

Now, if you are in Chicago on St. Patrick’s Day, you must go by the Chicago River, which as been painted green!
Yes, the really know how to paint the town green!

Of course, New York has a number of places to dive into a massive Pastrami sandwich as well:
New York steps up as well when it comes to Pastrami…and no one does it better than Katz’s Deli!

And what if you want Pastrami – but not as a sandwich? Well, I’ve got you covered!
A “Pastrami Burger!”
This burger is incredible, and worth a national holiday!
You can taste all of the unique ingredients, and the pastrami added a perfect, slightly salty pop to the cheeseburger, complimenting the flavor rather than taking away from it…but I will also tell you that I took a bit of it off and ate it separately, because there was so much!
They wrap it tight, and that’s a good thing, because, while the bun is hearty and toasted well, this is a juicy sandwich, and the wrapper holds it all together…you can see more of their menu here:

Bite! Eat! Repeat! 
Very nice, John. I enjoy the green river and the Irish food and drinks for St Patrick’s day.
Yes Robbie fun traditions playing out here…Chicago painting the river, and New York had a massive parade yesterday and today a half marathon! There will be some celebrating to come! Thank you for commenting AND sharing – much appreciated!
My pleasure, John. I love how the US embraces everything.
Not sure about green beer, but the sandwich looks wonderful!
Best wishes, Pete.
It’s more a visual thing that a flavor thing but I get it Pete…also served ice cold here which may not be your style either…cheers!
I like cold beer. I am not a warm beer drinker like most men in England. I prefer continental lagers, but usually only drink red wine. ☺
