Here's the Irish features served today (Monday, March 17) at Mustard Seed Cafe, Bluffton.

From Chef Rhonda:

Corned Beef Reuben Sandwich...our own house-made rye bread with a house-made original recipe Russian dressing made just today for this sandwich.  Every time I make this dressing, I change the recipe just a bit, and never am quite satisfied.  Today, tho, it was perfect.  A little extra fresh-squeezed lemon juice in the dressing did the trick...
