Seemed original to me. <br /> <br />8 for spice <br />7 for garnish (I like celery - also) <br />3 for interesting rim salt <br />9 for originality <br />8 for strength <br /> <br />So I think they get a 7<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9731550-110372255903130412?l=bloodyaustin.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>project timesheetnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9731550.post-1103690107448824522004-12-21T20:35:00.000-08:002004-12-22T07:38:23.526-08:00My friend Rob runs <a href="http://austin.citysearch.com/profile/10202644/?cslink=cs_boc_lw_2_5">Cedar Street Courtyard</a> so I of course was obligated to try one of his bloody marys. They're good. I'd say a 7 out of 10 overall. <br /> <br />I think I need to come up with a multipoint scale. <br /> <br />1-10 for spice <br />1-10 for garnish <br />1-10 for interesting rim salt <br />1-10 for originality <br />1-10 for strength <br /> <br />For Cedar Street, I'd say it's spice-8, garnish-5, salt-1, originality-4, strength-9, which averages out to a 5. <br /> <br />Next we'll look at Katz's<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9731550-110369010744882452?l=bloodyaustin.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>project timesheetnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9731550.post-1103688056133760182004-12-21T19:53:00.000-08:002004-12-21T20:05:45.860-08:00I think Martha Stewart got screwed. <br /> <br />It was a case of overzealous little people stickin it to the man. <br /> <br />But that's just an aside. I like Martha because she pursues perfection, and <em>that's a good thing</em>. <br /> <br />What's this got to do with drinking Bloody Marys? Nothing. And Everything. <br /> <br />My wife and I are foodies. Austin is a good place to be such a person. <br /> <br />I never had a bloody mary in my life that didn't suck until I went to New Orleans to <a href="http://www.commanderspalace.com/new_orleans/index.php">Commander's Palace</a>. The one I had their knocked me out. It was perfection. So I bought their <a href="http://www.commanderspalace.com/new_orleans/shop.php">cookbook </a>and proceeded to make my own in their style back home. <br /> <br />The problem is that it takes about 6 weeks to do so. Making your own hot sauce, worchestershire sauce, tomato juice, seasoned salt and garnishes from scratch takes a bit of time. Just the worchestershire sauce alone has about 15 ingredients. <br /> <br />When done, it is perfection, so Amanda and I redubbed it <strong>The Bloody Martha.</strong> <br /> <br />And it sent me on a quest. Where is the best bloody mary in Austin Texas? And can the bartender prepare it in less than 6 weeks?<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9731550-110368805613376018?l=bloodyaustin.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>project timesheetnoreply@blogger.com0
