This one is for my friends over at Cocktailians. Have one on me, boys…
The latest issue of Esquire Magazine has a short article by David Wondrich about a noxious new libation some of his drinking companions have concocted, the WhiskeyBurger.
Now, I know waht you’re thinking — “Hmm, whiskey in a hamburger? That might be good…” — but you would be wrong. Because it’s a DRINK, not a BURGER, and you make it by infusing rye whiskey with cooked ground chuck beef. After the beef has soaked in the booze for an hour, you strain the liquid, discard the meat, and let the liquid chill in the fridge for a couple of hours so that all the rendered fat separates and hardens, just as if you were making beef stock.
This vile product, which he calls “beefskey”, is mixed with a sweet tomato syrup, a dash of “mustard bitters”, and garnished using three words that don’t ordinarily go together: “lettuce-onion foam”. Oh, and not to worry because he gives you the recipes for all of these disgusting mixers, too.
Mm-mmm! Okay, Cocktailians, give it a try!
Dear Harvey, Pete, Barry, Kevin, and every other weathermonkey on Boston-area TV: Enough is enough. The fucking blizzard was THIRTY-TWO YEARS AGO. It’s time to stop trotting out the same blurry videotape of cars stuck on Rt. 128 that is older than some of the people who are actually on your broadcast, just so we [...]
It’s going to be a long two months waiting for the iPad to actually ship so that all the tech bloggers and their hangers-on will stop writing so much speculative bullshit about iT and turn their attention iNstead to some other thing that’s going to Change Life As We Know iT. Since you cannot click [...]
Please, please, PUH-LEEZE stop talking about “What do we call the last decade?” Nobody could come up with an acceptable choice ten years ago, and nobody’s going to come up with one now. “Aughties” and “Naughties” are contrived and stupid, and so is the very idea that anything wraps up all nice and neatly into [...]
OMG!
