The executive chef is allegedly Irish; his name is Penn Tenn Eyck. Hmmmm.

I've never had Mulligatawny so I'd have nothing to compare. It's a
curried soup. There's nothing wrong with them including it on the menu.
Still, I suspect they chose Mulligatawny because it *sounds* Irish.
"Top o' the e'en! Care for some Mulligatawny?"

Other items on the Buffet include:

Irish Lamb Stew
Corned Beef & Cabbage
Dill Crusted Salmon
Baked Cod with Tomatoes & olives
Bangers & Mash
Carrots & Parsnips
Brussel Sprouts [they left the 's' off of Brussels]
Irish Soda Bread
Sherry Trifle

I think I'll just make corned beef & cabbage with new potatoes and call
it dinner.

So far, I've seen no sales for corned beef brisket. Then again, I never
see the "deals" some people mention here, not even *after* St. Patrick's
Day.
