Mandina's Restaurant New Orleans

Corned beef and cabbage is always a Tuesday special at @mandinasrestaurant and, coincidentally, St. Patrick’s Day is Tuesday this year and that’s today!

If you’re headed out to celebrate, padding the belly with something this hearty is just good science.

The idea of chicken parm sharing a menu with shrimp remoulade is perfectly normal at Mandina’s, following its Creole-Italian mode.

So what explains the standing weekly special of the quintessential American-Irish corned beef and cabbage?

“My grandfather really liked it, and wanted it on the menu, so I’m not messing with it,” fourth-generation proprietor Cindy Mandina told me.

Onion rings and Ms Hilda’s extra-strong old fashioned optional.

Air conditioning still advertised, though not needed today.
