Last week, we were down in the Tampa Bay/St. Petersburg area sampling Bloody Marys.
We headed to the Postcard Inn for lunch and some football watching on Saturday.
I don’t know about you, but I really can’t watch football without a Bloody Mary in hand, so that’s what I ordered.
Mix: Homemade
Chaser: No
Fixin’s: Three olives, 2 lime slices, 1 lemon slice…and side of celery sticks.
Price: $?
I think my dining companions were sick of me lamenting that the Bloodies were subpar in Florida so far, so they gave the waiter a bit of a hard time. They told him I like Bloody Marys with a lot of fixin’s… so he added an extra olive and lime slice and brought me a side of celery.
Come on people, haven’t you seen the Bloodys with sliders on top? Cheese? Meat sticks? I mean, come on, this is Florida! Would it kill you to spare a shrimp?
I appreciate the thought in bringing out the celery, but really wish those snowbirds from the Midwest would teach Floridians a thing or two about how a real Bloody Mary is made.
