THE FOOD SHOW – MARCH 17, 2026

Today on The Food Show with Mary Ann Fitzmorris…

Mary Ann dives into a true St. Patrick’s Day classic — corned beef and cabbage ☘️🥩🥬

Did you know this dish isn’t actually Irish? It’s an Irish-American tradition, created when immigrants in the U.S. swapped their traditional bacon for more affordable beef brisket and paired it with cabbage, which was cheap and easy to cook.

On today’s show, Mary Ann talks about:

• Why corned beef became the star of the holiday

• How cabbage earned its place in the pot

• The history behind this beloved (and misunderstood) dish

It’s comfort food with a story — and a perfect way to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day!
