SINCE THE 30sEN I HAVE
ANCESTORS FROM NORTHERN IRELAND.
I’M NOT FULL IRISH, BUT WE ARE
AMERICAN-IRISH.
THE IMMUNITY UP THERE REALLY
APPRECIATED WHAT WE DID,
BRINGING IN SOME TRADITIONAL
FOODS AND JUST SPRUCING IT UP.

YOUNG DECIDED TO EXPAND AND
BRING THE CONCEPT TO HIS

DOG WHILE I WAS GONE.
I’M SITTING HERE AT THE LIGHT.
I SEE THIS FOR LEASE SIGN.
IN THE STRIP MALL.
I THOUGHT, LET ME CHECK THIS
OUT.
IT WAS EXCITING FOR MY BROTHER
AND I.
IT’S FUN BEING BACK AND SEEING
SO MANY FACES.
>> Michelle: IN CASE YOU’RE
WONDERING WHERE IT’S LOCATED,
LOOK FOR THE LARGE MURAL
OUTSIDE.
>> WE COMMISSIONED A LOCAL
ARTIST, WE CAME UP WITH AN IDEA
OF DOING A WHOLE MAP OF IRELAND.
WE WERE ABLE TO MAKE THIS VERY
COMFORTABLE AND WARM FEELING.
SO EVERYONE CAN ENJOY
THEMSELVES.
>> Michelle: NOW LET’S TURN
OUR ATTENTION BACK TO THE FOOD.
THIS FOOD IS MAKING ME HUNGRY,
SO LET’S GET INTO THE MENU.
WE’RE GOING TO START WITH THEIR
SANDWICHES.
THIS IS THEIR CLASSIC REUBEN, SO
YOU HAVE SOME NICE CORNED BEEF.
YOU HAVE SAUERKRAUT, THOUSAND
ISLAND DRESS, SWISS CHEESE, ALL
ON RYE BREAD WITH THEIR HOUSE
SEASONED FRIES.
NEXT WE HAVE THEIR LOADED
IRISHMAN.
THIS IS LIKE A BURGER AND A
REUBEN HAD A BABY.
SO YOU HAVE TWO PATTY, CORNED
BEEF, SAUERKRAUT, THOUSANDS
ISLAND DRESSING ON A BRIE YOASH
BUN.
MOVING ON TO THE ENTREES, WE
HAVE THEIR CHICKEN-FRIED
CHICKEN.
SO THESE ARE CHICKEN TENDERS
THAT ARE SOAKED IN BUTTERMILK
AND MAKING THEM NICE AND TENDER
AND TWICE BREADED BEFORE BEING
DEEP FRIED.
THEY’RE SERVED ON TOP OF
SEASONED MASHED POTATOES WITH A
CHICKEN GRAVY OVER THE TOP.
LET’S GET INTO THEIR AUTHENTIC
IRISH DISHES.
THIS IS THEIR SHEPHERD’S PIE.
THIS IS A BLEBTD OF LAMB AND
BEEF.
IT IS STEWED WITH A LOT OF
SEASONNINGS, AS WELL, AS ONIONS,
CARROT, CORN, AND IT’S TOPPED
WITH SEASONED MASHED POTATO AND
IT’S SERVED WITH A ROLL AND TWO
ONION RINGS.
THEY ALSO HAVE A SELECTION OF
IRISH BOXES.
THIS IS THEIR CORNED BEEF BOX,
WHICH IS BASICALLY A THIN POTATO
PANCAKE.
AND IT IS STUFFED WITH CORNED
BEEF, SWISS CHEESE, AND IT’S
TOPPED WITH THEIR SAUCE WHICH IS
SIMILAR TO A HORSERADISH.
AND IT COMES WITH FRIES ON THE
SIDE
AND FINALLY, FOR DESSERT, WE
HAVE THEIR BREAD PUDDING.
SO THIS IS HOUSE MADE WITH THREE
DIFFERENT TYPES OF BREAD,
INCLUDING A BRIE YOASH AND IT’S
ALL SOABED IN THIS JAMISON
WHISKEY BUTTER SAUCE.
>> WE’RE COUSINS.
I HAVE A COUSIN.
WE’RE HAVING A WHOLE OTHER
CONVERSATION GOING ON.
SO MICHELLE, ANOTHER GREAT FIND.
WHAT DO YOU HAVE FOR US?
>> Michelle: THIS IS THE
ACCEPTERED’S PIE.
SHEPHERD’S PIE.
IT HAS LAMB IN IT.
ONE THING THEY DO NICELY IS THAT
VERY NICELY SEASON THEIR FOOD.
I FEEL LIKE IT’S NOT BLAND.
>> Jason: OH, THAT’S NOT
PLANT.
THIS IS NOT THE CASE HERE.
>> Tati: TELL US WHAT ELSE IS
GOING ON HERE.
>> Jason: OR AS I CALLED IT
BEFORE THE BREAK, A BOX TIE.
>> Michelle: THIS IS THAT, A
THIN POTATO PANCAKE.
THEY HAVE SEVERAL DIFFERENT
OPTIONS.
BOTH THE SHEPHERD’S PIE AND THE
BOX TEE WILL BE ON THEIR MENU.
FOR TATI, TRY TOY LOOK OUT FOR
MY GIRL THIS IS THEIR CURRY
FRIES.
SO INDIAN FOOD IS REALLY POPULAR
OVER IN THE BRITISH ISLES EVER

BRITAIN.
THEY HAVE TAKEN OVER THEIR FOOD
AND CUISINE.
THEY REALLY NAIL A LOT OF INDIAN
FOOD, AND --
>> Tati: FANCY.
>> Michelle: GLUTEN-FREE,
VEGAN CURRY FRIES.
>> Tati: THIS IS AMAZING.
FIRST BITE, IT’S PERFECT.
SOME PEOPLE DON’T LIKE THE
CURRY.
IT’S LIKE A LITTLE TOO -- BLOOM

>> BLOOM, LIKE YOU GOT TO LET IT
MARINATE, ALL GET MARRIED
TOGETHER.
