Bubby's in NYC

Bubby's in NYC

Our friends invited us to this amazing breakfast spot, claiming it was the best brunch in the city. I definitely wouldn't argue that. It was DELICIOUS! Then, they talked to another friend who also said it had one of the best Bloody Mary's in the city! This was my lucky day.

The Mary was wonderfully flavorful. It was spicy - just right. There was a hint of horseradish, but not overpowering. There was a slight sweetness that balanced the kick perfectly. I would have liked to see a little more salad bar quotient, but it was thoroughly delish.

Good friends, good food, and a good BM - what better way to spend a morning!

I've blogged this Mary before, but now they have a new bartender and what was once a really good bloody is now even better! The recipe remains almost the same: The Cured Mary is bacon infused with crushed bits and sugar on the rim. Yum.

The ILQ was definitely influenced slightly by the prescence of my lovely wife on our date night.

boken japanese restaurant in Bend

I love kim chee and when there's a kim chee bloody mary on the menu, you can bet I'll try it. This restaurant just opened and the food was marvelous. It's an eclectic mix of asian influences from Thai to Japanese. Most of the items are small plates, but the servings were generous. There was a definite spicy trend going on, which we loved.

The bloody was very unique and quite tasty. it was a bit heavy on the horseradish for my taste, but the kim chee flavor and lighter consistency made it appealing.

Diego in the MGM Las Vegas

I had first heard about mixing beer and clamato when I saw the Budweiser and Clamato can at the local liquer store. I thought it sounded gross, but had to try. It was OK, but not quite right. it had potential though.

Here at Diego, they have a whole selection of Michelada and I had to try again. I had one with Tecate, Clamato, Worchestershire, salt, pepper, and lime. The seasoned salt rim made it kick.

It is actually quite delicious! Very refreshing :-)

Metro restaurant Cambodia

I didn't really expect to find a great bloody mary in Cambodia, but we went to this great "Americanized" restaurant on the recommendation of a local friend. It was as nice as any trendy vegas dig and the food was great. I generally prefer to eat authentic when I'm traveling, but this spot sounded really good, and it was!

The bloody was pretty straight. No flavors or secret recipes, just old school tomato juice, vodka, and too much Worcestershire. It was drinkable, but not finishable.
