What if the Midwest's wacky Saint Patty’s Day celebrations reflected Ireland as it actually is?

Ann Arbor husband-and-wife duo Kate McCabe and Max Sussman spoke to Stateside about their work educating others on the country they love, including all its nuanced food, culture, and history. They co-founded Bog & Thunder, a culinary-focused Ireland travel company.

This Saint Patrick’s Day weekend, they’re hosting an Irish cuisine celebration at Frame in Hazel Park. Chef Kevin Burke is visiting from Dublin to whip up a four-course meal for southeast Michiganders – and it’s not the boiled cabbage fare you might be imagining.

GUESTS:
Max Sussman, co-founder and culinary director, Bog and Thunder
Kate McCabe, co-founder and CEO, Bog and Thunder
