Ed Miller, The U of Texas professor and Scottish folkie has a big-time commercial.

Ed, or someone with an identical voice, is selling something called "Irish Sirloin" for Bennigans.

I caught the one minute spot on "Millionaire", replayed it several times and that unmistakable brogue was, sure enough, selling irish beef for an American chain.

Probably no big deal, but I thought it worth mentioning.

Funny, I searched for decent steak in both UK & Ireland . . .

I came away supposing it was being served at the same place you go to get a good cup of coffee.

Oh, you don't say. Put it in kidney pie, do they?

And that's a good for, what, the pie or the steak?
