Eating and drinking your hangover cures
on January 3, 2013 @ 1:27 pm (Updated: 3:24 pm - 1/4/13 )Tom Douglas says that a hangover is a "mistake," that shouldn't be piled on to: He doesn't believe in "hair of the dog."
"You should feed the dog, not take the dog to the bar."
That doesn't mean that he, Thierry Rautureau, and Katie O don't have their share of hangover tips - or even some great recommendations for whipping up a Bloody Mary, a very popular hangover combatant.
When you wake up a little out of sorts, or maybe with a headache or a touchy stomach, what should you eat?
For Thierry, it's simple: two eggs sunny side up, and a nice piece of toast.
Tom likes something a little heavier. He goes for griddled Italian sausage, a nice plate of hashbrowns, and sauteed spinach.
Of course, if you're hungover, cooking it might not sound as appealing as going out and grabbing something to eat. That's why Tom likes to order up his favorite hangover dish at Vera's in Ballard. He said he orders his spinach from the omelet menu, and they're kind enough to put it on the side.
If unlike Tom, you prefer to drink your breakfast, they also have suggestions for what goes into an ideal Bloody Mary, and where you can get it.
Tom thinks it's the special ingredients that make some Bloody Marys rise to the top while others fall a little flat.
At Etta's, they make their Bloody Mary's with Pepper Vodka and plenty of horse radish. And that's how Katie O likes them - with a lot of heat.
Meanwhile, over at Luc's, Theirry makes Bloody Marys with asparagus they pickle at the restaurant, giving it in their own special twist.
Katie O says for her it's what comes with her Bloody Mary. At Matt's in the Market they serve theirs with snit, or beer back. "It's a Midwestern thing," Katie O explains.
Perhaps a mix of these would cure a hangover, take Thierry's Bloody Mary with pickled asparagus and pair with Tom's favorite griddled Italian sausage and spinach. How does your stomach feel now?
