I'm doing a large corned beef for the two of us on Sunday. I do carrots, potatoes, cabbage with it. Use hot horseradish as a garnish. I had thought about pouring a beer in the boil to tenderize the meat (I do this with tacos, chicken, etc.) but you sinched it. Nothing like leftovers for sandwiches later, either!
Wonder if they're serving St. Patrick's Day faire where Big Bob is incarcerated?

Went well, only 50-minute drive to restaurant, 15 miles away.
No valet, street parking was $5.00/hr, so $10 to park on a road I paid for.
Wifey has a nice sangria to start, thought it would put her 'in the mood', it did not.
Order 7 dishes, lentil was 5-star, chicken lettuce wraps and beef ribs were very good.
She ordered green beans,,, WTF orders green beans??
Had the creme brulee, a little better than average.

BTW, dood at bar had his dog with him, I should have taken Ringo and Dolly, damnit!!

Good night, all done for about $100 for meal and parking.
Ride home was a rocket ride, took 595 west, has three express lanes, walled on both sides so no cops, I was not aware an XT5 could go 105+, gotta love those Caddies!!

The first one took me about a month. Make sure you have a chest freezer.

Some of the best, but I would rank them:

1) nyc
2) la
3) shitcargo
4) miami and miam beach
5) key west

FTL is somewhere in the lower top 10
