Beyond Boiled Cabbage for St. Patrick's Day

What if the Midwest's wacky Saint Patty’s Day celebrations reflected Ireland as it actually is? Ann Arbor husband-and-wife duo Kate McCabe and Max Sussman spoke to Stateside about their work educating others on the country they love, including all its nuanced food, culture, and history. They co-founded Bog & Thunder, a culinary-focused Ireland travel company. This Saint Patrick’s Day weekend, they’re hosting an Irish cuisine celebration at Frame in Hazel Park. Chef Kevin Burke is visiting from Dublin to whip up a four-course meal for southeast Michiganders – and it’s not the boiled cabbage fare you might be imagining. GUESTS: Max Sussman, co-founder and culinary director, Bog and Thunder Kate McCabe, co-founder and CEO, Bog and Thunder ___ Looking for more conversations from Stateside? Right this way.
