O'Slainte Sausage
O.S.S., 910 Regent St., 608-709-1000
A bratwurst topped with a stout and Irish cheddar sauce and finished with french fries, caramelized onions and scallions is on the menu through Sunday in commemoration of the patron saint of Ireland.
A sassy shamrock shake
DLUX, 117 Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd., 608-467-3130
DLUX localizes the minty ice cream treat, adopting Sassy Cow vanilla as a base, blended with a housemade mint syrup. It's topped with a sprinkling of Lucky Charms. Obviously, it's magically delicious, and on the menu through the end of March.
A different kind of Irish bar
Whole Foods, 3313 University Ave., 608-233-9566
All week, in honor of St. Patrick's Day, the hot bar at Whole Foods will be featuring rich, beef-heavy Irish stew; a bacon-studded colcannon; bangers and mash; and fork-tender, ultra-flavorful corned beef, fringed with delectably edible fat.
