So you missed the St. Patrick’s Day Parade last weekend, but the holiday is here, how will you celebrate the green in the city? Well, you must have the luck of the Irish because there are still many interesting ways to show your Chi-rish pride.Wacky Corned beef

If you’ve got the palate for corned beef and cabbage there’s many variations around the city you can try, but probably none more interesting than Fo Go 2 go at 926 W. Diversey Ave. Corned beef and cabbage pizza anyone? Oh yes you read that right. This brilliant blend of Italian and Irish actually has Brazilian roots.

FoGo 2 go is a family owned, brick oven style pizzeria that has about 60 styles of pizza-about 45 classic Brazilian styles and 15 American styles and interesting combinations. When the owners Daniela and Brad Kollar moved to Chicago six years ago they were surprised by the St.Patrick’s Day pride, but on their first St.Patrick’s Day with FoGo 2 Go last year they wanted to incorporate something interesting in to their menu. And for one month it fits their customer base just perfectly.

“When we have it it’s our number one seller,” Daniela Kollar said .

Last year FoGo 2 tried to keep it around a little after March, but the popularity plummeted so they decided to make it one of their seasonal pizzas. People must only be feeling Irish in March. The pizza itself is corned beef, red cabbage and a whole peeled tomato based sauce.

“The pizza is set up so you really taste the corned beef and cabbage,” Daniela Kollar said .

The Kollar’s expected to sell between 80 and a hundred corned beef and cabbage pizzas the weekend of the parade.

“The St. Paddy’s Day parade is the busiest day of the year,” Daniela Kollar said .

It is bigger for Fo Go 2 go than even Halloween or the Super Bowl, traditionally large sales days for pizzerias. The Kollars attribute that to being surrounded by Irish-themed bars and a young neighborhood.

If corned beef and cabbage pizza isn’t your style, they have now rolled out their Easter-themed cod fish pizza, or you can just wait until fall for their kielbasa and sauerkraut pizza to celebrate Oktoberfest.

Mix up your Guinness

St. Patrick’s Day in Chicago couldn’t exist without beer. And what is the most Irish beer of them all? Guinness.

Even though Timothy O’Toole’s, 622 N. Fairbanks Court, big St. Patrick’s Day bash is over, one of their Irish staples remains – the Guinness Black List. Humberto Martinez Jr., otherwise known as Junior, said the Guinness Black List has been around since 1992, but the idea of mixing Guinness with other beverages has been around for a long time – most commonly Guinness and Sprite.

Timothy O’Toole’s list is more extensive and is so popular people will steal their menus just for the Black List combinations.

“We’ve done phenomenally well with it,” Junior said.

Some of the combinations include a snake bite, Guinness and cider, a black goose, Goose Island Honkers Ale and Shandy, which is the traditional Guinness and lemon lime soda. The menu rotates every six months or so to include new Guinness concoctions.

Despite it’s name Timothy O’Toole’s is not an Irish bar because it is not Irish owned, but it is the number three seller of Guinness in the city of Chicago and it does have a clock counting down to St.Patrick’s Day right by the door, which means there is still time to be Chi-rish.
