Holidays with Horseradish: Happy St. Patrick’s Day
Top o’ the morning to ya! Happy St. Patrick’s Day. For this holiday, Horseradish, Thoroughbred U’s regular chef, we will be keeping it easy and making reubens. I love a good reuben and I eat them regularly at Keeneland racecourse and at a variety of Irish themed bars. Many restaurants add it to their menu for celebrating St. Patrick’s Day. The sandwich isn’t in fact Irish, it’s all American but it’s all good and a fun and easy way to celebrate the day. Turn on the television and watch 2 Kentucky Derby prep races and some March Madness Basketball with a reuben, chips and a green frosty beverage. Horseradish will show you how it is done.
