That’s not a bloody mary, that’s just a really expensive meal!
More like a Family Meal Deal!
This is the point at which you lost me.
…and then you went and got sillier still…
At some point this went from sounding silly to sounding absolutely delicious
Word.
I know it’s been a long time since I tended bar, but the last time I checked, one drinks a Bloody Mary (the celery stalk is supposed to be ‘garnish’, not a whole ass meal.)
Wait until you try their Bloody Caesar with lampreys, dormice, and garum vodka.
Right?
But with a Bloody Mary (or 4) on the side.
It kind of grossed me out to see the half shells from the oysters resting atop the drinks. Cool presentation, but I don’t recall ever having an oyster on the half shell and not ending up with some kind of grit on my fingers from the shell…
Those are fucking grotesque.
A bloody mary is a bloody mary, a fairly simple drink without excessive frills. If you want to eat a seafood dish or something with it, great, go for it! But don’t pile it all up as “garnishes” on a damn jug of drink.
Their approach to hashtags matches well with their approach to menu building.
A family meal masquerading as a cocktail. Overpriced but still a bargain compared to that goofy drink they were selling at the Galactic Starcruiser over in Orlando. on the Disney Star Wars cruise.
Hell, I can get a Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster for less than that.
The biggest part of the cost of the Pan-Galactic Gargle Blaster is covering the subsequent therapy and rehab.
Too many hashtags for my taste
Selling a whole elaborate meal as a drink? Just throw everything into a Bassomatic and be done with it.
What gets me is the fact that none of it winds up anywhere near what it’s supposed to be.
Some cold drinks? Sure, just let me pile all this crap in there for the next 10 minutes.
Wand some fresh fried shrimp? Hope you don’t mind if it turns room temp… along with the steamed lobster, the now not so melty grilled cheese, the crab legs, the medium warmed bits of other foods…
Oh, and hope you don’t mind, the ice has now melted and your drinks are all watered down now too
What a monumental trophy to mediocre overconsumption with a dumb price tag for the seal of the deal.
What’s more, the staff all know this is ridiculous bullshit and feel nothing but contempt for the people who order it. And those poor souls feel compelled to finish the damn thing because of how much they paid for it. Now I curious as to how many of these obscenities have actually been sold.
