Festive French Fry Events

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Jameson & CHAIN House Debut a St. Patrick’s Day-Themed Event

— March 18, 2025 — Marketing
Jameson Irish Whiskey and CHAIN House collaborated to create 'The French Fry Showdown,' a unique St. Patrick’s Day-themed event in Los Angeles that combined gourmet food, innovative cocktails, and an immersive brand experience.

'The French Fry Showdown' featured an all-you-can-eat French fry feast and emphasized variety — from shoestring, crinkle-cut, and waffle to curly and wedge fries. The snackable food was served alongside creative sauces and seasonings like Jameson Irish Whiskey BBQ, Hot Cheeto Dust, and black garlic ranch. Attendees of the St. Patrick’s Day-themed event were invited to sample and rate the fries, with the winning fry revealed at the end. The experience was complemented by a selection of Jameson-based cocktails, including the Minty MockRock Slushie and the Lucky Root Whiskey Root Beer, as well as non-alcoholic options like the Pi Day mocktail. There was also a caviar station and a custom ice luge.
