Foodie News..
Brunch and Bloodys this Saturday, October 20th at the Longview Gallery is a great chance for you to taste over 30 Restaurants take on the DC Brunch Craze. I'll be at the event (incognito or unofficially, but I'll be tasting - say "Hi" and bring your Tabasco sauce with you!) and enjoying really one of my All-Time favorite drinks ever since I was young - the Bloody Mary. Bloody Marys (or is that Maries?) seem to come in and out of fashion, and of course Vodka is pooh-poohed by serious Cocktail people as the "flavorless" spirit, but I find the combination of meaty tomato juice, Worcestshire, horse-radish, Tabasco and of course the crunchy celery stick as irresistibly tasty..
