Today I went to the Silly Goose to check out “Sunday Bloody Sunday,” where they have a Bloody Mary bar and hangover breakfast from noon to 5 PM.\u00a0 Here are a few pics:<\/p>\n

$\"bloody1\"$ The setup.\u00a0 You pay Ashley $3 for a glass filled with ice and vodka, then take it over to the Bloody Mary bar and add what you please.<\/p>\n

$\"bloody4\"$ Five different kinds of Bloody Mary mix:\u00a0 Bold & Spicy, Zing Zang, regular, low sodium, and Ashley’s special mix.\u00a0 They said they’re going to get Memphis Mary in future weeks but the shipment didn’t arrive in time.<\/p>\n

$\"bloddy2\"$ Worcestershire, Tabasco, A-1 sauce, several different types of salts and peppers.\u00a0 They also had Clamato and Beefamato for those who prefer them to the five house mixes.<\/p>\n

$\"bloody3\"$ Celery, carrots, peppers, okra, olives, horseradish.<\/p>\n

$\"bloody-breakfast\"$ The $6 hangover breakfast:\u00a0 Eggs, toast, biscuits & gravy, bacon, and sausage links.\u00a0 Except for the eggs this is how it came out of the kitchen, jelly already on toast.\u00a0 I asked the bartender if I could borrow her Sonny Salt<\/a> to top the eggs.<\/p>\n

It was a lucky accident that I ended up at the Goose.\u00a0 I was going to head to the Majestic at 11 for their brunch, but I was in an online poker room and there were a couple of people making really idiotic moves.\u00a0 I knew I could clean them out if I just waited for my cards.\u00a0 So I played until noon, collecting about $10 in the process.\u00a0 Then I realized, “Hey, the Goose is open, why not there?”\u00a0 Glad I made that decision.\u00a0 The Bloody Mary bar was an excellent value and the food was also a value for $6.<\/p>\n

I do want to address one thing here – you may have heard negative stuff about the Goose’s brunch.\u00a0 This was their third Sunday to do it.\u00a0 I was there for their first Sunday and they were completely unprepared.\u00a0 Bloody Mary bar was not set up as promised and the food was, in a word, awful.\u00a0 I decided not to blog about it, believing they would learn from their mistakes and come back with a good brunch, and they did.\u00a0 If you were there the first week or if you’ve heard what happened, consider giving the Goose’s brunch another try.<\/p>\n

Back at the Goose playing poker as I type this post… wish this morning’s poker players were still online.\u00a0 This group is more challenging.\u00a0 Battery is about dead, so I’m going to hit Publish and get out of here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
