Hic! Besht Martinis Made With Olives Stuffed With Goat Cheese
Been tooling around San Francisco for the past week now and I finally found a bar that sells the best Martinis. Its at the rooftop bar at the Hilton on the 36th floor that features a 360 degree view of the city.
The vodka martinis are usual except for one splendid thing- the large green olives are stuffed with sharp goat cheese! It really makes the martini taste even better!

Reuben Mac ‘N Cheese Bowl
This looks fantastic. Via UniqueDaily.
“I wanted to come up with a recipe that could be prepared a little more quickly and easily, and I think I’ve done just that with my Reuben Mac & Cheese. I mean, Reuben sandwiches on their own are great, and macaroni and cheese is great, so why not combine the two? So, with that I claimed Swiss as my cheese for this year’s blog and got to work combining it with some pasta, corned beef, sauerkraut and a few other ingredients to create my Reuben macaroni and cheese. And what better way to serve it than inside of a giant loaf of hollowed out rye bread?”

Sad: Cracker Barrel Founder Dies
So sad. He was a wonderful restaurateur and a good businessman who had great success with a good product. Dan Evins has died.
From WTOP here:
The founder of the Cracker Barrel Old Country Store chain, Dan Evins, has died at 76.
He fashioned the restaurant after the country stores of his youth in rural Tennessee and used a number of family recipes. The restaurant was named after the practice of customers gathering at country stores to share news and play checkers on top of an empty barrel that had been used to deliver crackers to the store.
Evins helped build the chain into a national brand as CEO from 1969 to 2001 and chairman until he retired in 2004. Cracker Barrel Old Country Store Inc., headquartered in Lebanon, Tenn., now operates more than 600 restaurants in 42 states.
So long, Danny and thanks for all the gravy.

Well, almost. My McRib sammies usually also have onion rings. This one has bacon and mozzarella sticks.

Old and Busted: Energy Drinks. New Hotness? Relaxation Drinks.
Until now I just thought beers were relaxation drinks.
From Reuters here:
Relaxation drinks help the body chill out by relieving muscle tension and reducing levels of cortisone, the main stress hormone, according to a report that Martinez wrote about the drinks earlier this year.
The biggest relaxation brands include Innovative Beverage Group’s Drank, Purple Stuff and Jones GABA. Another called Slow Cow is up and coming. Their names provide a marked contrast to engine-revving energy drinks such as Red Bull, Hansen Natural’s Monster and Dr Pepper Snapple Group’s Venom Energy.
Maybe one of these and a shot of vodka would be a great sleep aid?

Modernday Meal Train
Americans are getting fatter and fatter. I was standing behind a wheezy fattie in line at the airport, but I kept my distance because I was convinced he was going to fall over dead from a heart attack. He survived. But the shot below is becoming more and more commonplace.
Thanks to Tosh.
