Corned beef in Chicago
Photo by JerryDoughnut
Today the temperature reached 62 on the lakefront and I could feel the people of Chicago start to thaw. Short sleeve tees, smiles and bikers all around. March is coming in like friendly lamb riding on the back of a rainbow unicorn. The highest temperature so far this year made me forget that it’s still only March here in the city. March means St. Patrick’s Day and St. Patrick’s Day means corned beef. My favorite corned beef meal, not sandwich mind you, but meal, is at Four Moon Tavern in Roscoe Village. I recently discovered this place last year when my good friend Matty O brought Kate and I there for their annual St. Patrick’s week corned beef and cabbage. He’s been raving about it since the day I met him. There isn’t any information on their website about the special but I think this bar is definitely worth grabbing a Guinness at even if the corned beef special is not happening again this year. However, I cannot think of a reason it would not. Rest assured I will be venturing there early next week or late this week to check it out and report back my findings.
So my friends, I leave you with this question: Where is your favorite corned beef in the city? Let us all know and leave your suggestions and recommendations in the comments section!
Happy spring everyone!
