Tonight I went with Rich and his boss to the Field Irish Pub & Eatery in Dania Beach. I literally felt like I had stepped into Ireland. There was live Irish music, and the inside looked 100% authentic as best I could tell. I could barely keep up with the conversation because the restaurant was sooo loud!! Even some of the waitstaff had Irish brogues! Rich's boss is from Scotland and between his accent and all the craziness of the restaurant, I felt like we had left America.
The food was good, though I'm pretty sure I undid my Power Hour workout that I did today. Rich's boss ordered some kind of sausage and pastry appetizer. It was good but I think it had a million calories per bite. Somewhere between Shepherd's Pie and Fish and Chips, I realized that a grilled chicken breast was not to be found and ordered "Irish Country Chicken Pie" It was kind of a mix between chicken pot pie and hearty chicken stew. It was served with a giant puff pastry crust on top (which is not my favorite, so I just ate the filling!) and had mushrooms, carrots, chicken, peas, and other stuff that I couldn't see because the place was so dark. It was pretty delish!
As delicious as it was, I think I would have to move onto an Irish farm and chase around at least 25 children and an entire barn and farm full of livestock and sheep or whatever Irish people do just to justify eating that many calories at one sitting.
Sláinte!!
