My Rating:

Long Story Short: $15 prix fix includes entree, bloody or mimosa or sangria and coffee tea.  They have a make-your-own bloody bar if you happen to be into that… I am not.  Thankfully, they have their own mix on hand.

Long Story Long:

I am very vocal about my aversion to a dining experience where I have to do any work.  In other words, I don’t like fajitas (too much assembly required), can’t stand meat on the bone (especially chicken… annoying), and that fucking fondue nonsense where they bring a pot of scalding oil and a tray of raw meats to your table? Gross.  And dangerous.  I’m more than sure I would either burn myself or give myself food poisoning.

In any case, having barely recovered from the Virgin Mary incident, I put myself in the capable hands of BFFF, knowing how committed she is to me not giving up booze.  She took this opportunity to drag me into Greenpoint, mostly because she had this weird random craving for mac and cheese and as much as we all are in love with the Dumont mac & cheese, I wanted to try somewhere new.  My research led me to this place (they have a $5 mac and cheese mondays special).  It was a gorgeous day, so I figured, what the hell.

I underestimated just exactly how long it would take me to get there, so for once, she was waiting for me – and was very excited to inform me that they had a make-your-own-bloody bar.  I didn’t immediately recoil – I thoroughly enjoy the myobb at South 4th Bar.  I mean, you are given some decent mix to begin with and you can add as much fucking horseradish, pickles, olives, hot sauce, etc. as you want.  What’s so bad about that?

Umm yeah… not this place. Read the rest of this entry »
