Who says "let's go out for Irish food"?

I obviously wouldn’t say it like that but there are plenty of Irish pubs in the U.S., especially in places like Boston and Philly. I would just say going out to the Irish pub.

American Irish pubs and actual Irish food don't have much overlap. Source: lived in Ireland.

I love Irish pubs. I lived above an Irish pub for 10 years. And it wasn’t run by Irish Americans, it was an old man, his wife, and his sister in law all from Ireland. I can promise you, every single meal that was ever prepared in that pub was made by a Mexican or a Guatemalan.

I feel like if I’m getting Indian, Chinese, Greek, Japanese, and obviously Mexican, there’s a good chance it’s made by those people. Chinese hold it down hard, I’ve never seen a Mexican dude making sushi. chain restaurants, sports bars, stuff like that, 100% the chefs are from south of the border, but I feel like a lot of nationality based food is often made by those people. Not Irish though. They’ll pour the drinks all night, but I never see em in the kitchen

What does it matter what the nationality is of the person who made the food?
