BULLY

VS.

BACON

IN

BETHESDA

A bully is taking on an Irish legend on Elm Street this month. What's the beef?

The bully is beef. "Bully Beef," to be precise.

Ri-Ra Irish pub is holding a competition all month long, and customers will decide the outcome.

It seems the classic Irish dish of Bacon and Cabbage is being challenged by Americans' preference for Corned Beef and Cabbage.

Ri-Ra's Corned Beef entry is called "Bully Beef and Cabbage," and it's in competition with their original "Bacon and Cabbage" in a month-long taste test.

Try both out at Ri-Ra this month for $13.95 each. Both appear to have a white sauce on top - possibly a traditional horseradish sauce?

Who are you picking in this fight?

If you're really serious about Irish legends, ask your server about the special trip to Ireland Ri-Ra's owners have planned for September. There is a special price for the vacation package.

But you can take a much cheaper Irish vacation right here on Elm Street, any day of the week at Ri-Ra.
