As far as food holidays go, St. Patrick's Day oftentimes gets overlooked. When we think of food and beverage products from Ireland, it's hard to think beyond proper nouns (Guinness and Jameson come to mind) and potatoes. But the thought of corned beef sounds really good right around this time of year — or, if you're a fan of the uniquely savory, peppery meat, corned beef sounds good just about all the time. On everything.

Some chefs break it out just for St. Patrick's Day, some chefs put it on top of nachos, and of course some of the best sandwiches in the city use it as their main ingredient, so here's a list of 18 places to get corned beef in Los Angeles, whether it's only on St. Patrick's Day, or year-round.
