The wife and I have friends in from the west coast and it’s our duty to show them the best Manhattan has to offer. It is also our job to get them as drunk as possible from as many bars/restaurants/clubs we can find. The wife even called up BED (a bar/restaurant that has beds you lay in while eating) to reserve a bed, but not only couldn’t we get a bed for the next week, but we looked up the menu & prices online and were quite shocked. $250 for a bottle of Jack Daniels, $300 for Grey Goose and the food prices weren’t even listed. No thanks.

So instead of BED, we went for BBQ. Dinosaur BBQ (reviewed previously here) - 5 people with appetizers, drinks & food came to less then $200 with tip. Not bad at all - plus between the wife and I, we have a full rack of leftovers.

That’s some good BBQ!

Now for the hangover part of things. In addition to good food, Dinosaur BBQ also has some good beer on tap. We (3 of us) finished off 2 pitchers of Rogue Valley Dead Guy Ale (from Oregon). So after eating & drinking we all felt like a bunch of stuffed ticks and somehow waddled back to our place where we finished off a bottle of Newton ‘99 Unfiltered Cab while watching Oregon lose in the final moments of the Holiday Bowl. And after the wine we got into one of my X-mas gifts, a bottle of George T. Stagg Bourbon. So that’s how I got the hangover. Not a bad hangover, but I did wake up seriously thirsty and needing some good solid food.

Needing sustanance I turned to the leftover roast in the fridge - combined with some Boneyard Brew Hot Sauce and I had myself a perfect breakfast sandwich with minimal effort.

Shredded roast, salt & pepper, butter (for the pan) & some Boneyard Brew.

Using the same pan (less dishes) I grilled the bread and added the cheeses (gouda & cheddar).
