Sample Springfield's blarney-rific dishes

In honor of St. Patrick’s Day, we found some of the most blarney-rific dishes in all of Springtown.

Crème de menthe shake—Cold Stone Creamery, $3.49
This is the mint chocolate chip ice cream everyone loves, whipped into milkshake form and put in a convenient cup, so you can navigate Springfield traffic and still get your cool, minty fix. 900 E. Battlefield Rd., 417-883-4222

Flash-fried spinach—Metropolitan Grill, $7.99
If Popeye owned a blazer and chinos, this is what he would eat every night. The crispy, tasty spinach that Metro puts on pizza and other dishes can be had as its very own appetizer. 2931 E. Battlefield Rd., 417-889-4951

Classic Cob flatbread salads—Quizno’s, $5.29
With chicken, boiled egg, tomatoes, bleu cheese and other tasty stuff piled high, you won’t even know you’re eating good-for-you lettuce until it’s too late. Tricky leprechauns! Multiple locations in Springfield.
