Luck has nothing to do with a successful holiday service. It is all about the prep. With St. Patrick’s Day right around the corner, the rush for high-quality greens, hearty root vegetables, and festive staples is about to begin.
At V. Marchese, we want to ensure your kitchen is fully stocked so you can focus on the festivities. Whether you are plating traditional corned beef and cabbage or crafting a modern green-themed menu, we have the freshest haul in town.
The Must-Haves for a Lucky Menu
To make your St. Patrick’s Day service run like a well-oiled machine, make sure these essentials are on your order guide:
- Green Cabbage: The undisputed king of the holiday. We source dense, crisp heads perfect for slow braising.
- Root Vegetables: Carrots, parsnips, and red potatoes to round out those savory Irish stews.
- Fresh Herbs: Don’t forget the parsley and chives to add a pop of brightness to your colcannon or soda bread.
- Value Added and Pre-Cut: Save time in a busy kitchen with our pre-cut cabbage and peeled potatoes.
Planning for the Holiday Rush
The Luck of the Irish only goes so far. Logistics does the rest. To ensure you get exactly what you need, we recommend getting your orders in as early as possible.
Since St. Patrick’s Day falls on a Tuesday this year, expect heavy traffic to start on Friday the week before. We recommend padding your inventory early to avoid the weekend rush and ensure your walk-in is ready for the crowds.
