The award-winning Dead Rabbit Grocery and Grog in New York City is best known for its cocktails. But its Full Irish Breakfast is so popular that the restaurant began serving it for lunch during the week, in addition to weekend brunches.
Chef Joe Mallol adds some herbs and spices, but sticks to a classic formula. “If you go to Ireland, they don’t really do corned beef,” he says. “This is more traditional.”

The Dead Rabbit’s Pork Rub
Pork Rub Directions
Mix all ingredients together. Store in cool dry place.
Pair It
“Everyone drinks this with a Guinness,” Mallol says. It’s not the dish for fancy pairings, even at a great cocktail bar. “Or an Irish Coffee would work.”
