Columbus ACF

☘️ Happy St. Patrick’s Day from the ACF Columbus Chapter!

Today we celebrate the rich culinary traditions of Ireland — from slow-braised corned beef and cabbage to hearty shepherd’s pie and fresh soda bread.

To all the chefs working hard in kitchens today bringing a little Irish comfort to the table — we salute you. 🍽️

May your mise en place be organized, your service smooth, and your day filled with great food and good company.

Sláinte — the Irish toast meaning “to your health!” 🇮🇪
