‘Tis the season for Corned Beef + Cabbage

Corned beef and cabbage might be known as a St. Patrick’s Day staple, but the dish tells a much bigger Irish-American story — one shaped by immigration, tradition, and generations gathered around the table. McGonagle’s, recently named one of the 50 Best Restaurants in the country by the New York Times,  is honoring that tradition all month long with a classic dish. Think slow-braised corned beef, tender cabbage, hearty potatoes, and a bright parsley sauce. Try it this weekend!
