We’re so excited to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with two outstanding Irish Pubs, and elated to share a HUGE announcement from a long-time friend of our show on this week’s Food Farms and Chefs episode!

Our first guest has accomplished a lot since he began working as a glass collector in his hometown of Belfast, Ireland. Jack McGarry began his career in Ireland and worked his way to a pub in London, eventually crossing the ocean to open the Dead Rabbit in New York. Since then, McGarry’s desire to create Pubs that elevate the ‘Irish pub experience’ has found its place, along with numerous well-earned awards celebrating ‘The Best Bar in the World.’  How does he do it?  By crafting an intriguing selection of menu items along with an experience that showcases Irish culture, history, and customs. However, the Dead Rabbit is not this entrepreneur’s only accomplishment-but you’ll have to tune in to find out more about Jack, what he’s accomplished, and what to look forward to during the Dead Rabbit’s “It’s Paddy’s Day NOT Patty’s Day” events!

This week is looking up, especially for anyone celebrating St. Patrick’s at Dooney’s Pub in Delran and Voorhees New Jersey!  Dooney’s Director of Operations, Ariane Bonnes, joined us to announce their annual Kegs and Eggs in Delran, along with their other popular menu items that are fan favorites each year.  On top of that, visitors can look forward to live music at both locations, dancers, bagpipers, and green beer to amplify the fun! In addition to their weekend-long celebrations, you can keep the celebrations going with their month-long cocktail and menu specials.  But don’t take it from us–turn your dials to Food Farms and Chefs to hear more about what you can look forward to from Dooney’s Pub!

Our final guest is bringing the band back together again, and we couldn’t be more excited to have him on!  Ray Sheehan, who is an expert on all things Barbeque, shared his journey as a chef, author, contributing writer, and guest host for Baseball and BBQ Podcast.  After  what has happened since we last spoke with him, we further discussed the importance of mental health in the culinary industry and the ability to adjust and think on your feet.  Which led to a huge announcement, that you’ll hear first on our show!  Ray joined us to announce some exciting news for the first time on our show!  But we don’t want to spoil the surprise, so tune in to hear from Chef Sheehan and what you can look forward to in the very near future!
