Think Irish food is all about overcooked meats and mounds of potatoes? Don't believe such blarney. In the last decade, the Emerald Isle has made a giant gastronomic leap. A new crop of young chefs are turning high-quality, homegrown ingredients into sophisticated and unique meals, and new restaurants are popping up all the time. See for yourself what's brewing in the modern Irish kitchen--it's a lot more than corned beef and cabbage.
1. Pubs are the best spots to sample Irish stew, fish and chips and other traditional dishes.
2. It isn't necessary to tip bartenders.
3. Root vegetables such as potatoes, carrots, turnips, parsnips and rutabagas are abundant.
