University of the Pacific's food truck. They served German bratwurst smothered in German-style cabbage that was dyed bright green for St. Patrick's Day. This is actually more appropriate than most realize. St. Patrick's Day didn't become a huge national holiday until the Irish immigrants came to America, taking over mostly German neighborhoods in New York and Chicago. There, they adopted lots of German food, including corned beef and cabbage, and folded it into their religious holidays. Hence why corned beef and cabbage - a purely German dish - is often attributed to the Irish on St. Patrick's Day.
