Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: Friends in the Right Places

Sharkbait - April 19, 2024April 19, 2024

Welcome back to the best day of the week. This week's drink is the result of an innocent, half joking ask of my bartender friend of what I should make. I expected him to reply with some over the top nonsense that only he can concoct with special ingredients at

Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: The Fix is In

Sharkbait - April 12, 2024April 12, 2024

Thankfully Friday is upon us once again. This has been the longest short week (for me at least). The family came back from a trip to northern Vermont to be in the path of totality for the eclipse, which was awesome and well worth it. However a long weekend with

Good morning and welcome back to Sunday Gravy! As you read this, my ass is going to be in Indianapolis for tomorrow's total solar eclipse. Yeah I got all bougie like that since I can finally afford to now. Also later on tonight I got pretty close to courtside seats for

Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: Experimentation

Sharkbait - April 5, 2024April 5, 2024

Thankfully we've reached the end of the work week, and not too soon. This week I've been doing some experimenting. A while back at a Superb Owl party I hosted, some friends brought over a bottle of Martini and Rossi Fiero. That is a sweet orange (and slightly bitter) vermouth.

Good morning DFO! Welcome to week 2 of March Madness AND another edition of Sunday Gravy. I get it, that banner image didn't exactly blow your mind now did it? I mean, what? A goddamn bowl of beans is supposed to "Wow" me? So you're saying you haven't had a bowl of beans

Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: Ménage à Trois? Non! C’est Quatre!

Sharkbait - March 29, 2024March 29, 2024

Happy Friday one and all. For this week, I wanted to break a streak I've been on here. It might not be the case, but it certainly feels like I've been neglecting the plethora of awesome cocktail books I have on hand and should be sampling from, rather than relying

Sunday Gravy with yeah right and DJ Taj: We Ate it so you don’t have to. KFC’s Chizza!

yeah right - March 24, 2024March 23, 2024

Good morning and welcome to the lab! At the suggestion of our own Litre Cola, brother DJ TAJ and I decided, "Well why the fuck not?" and we ordered and consumed the new menu offering from KFC. The "Chizza." Pronounced "Cheat-za" this, uh thing, is another in a long line of "gimmick" foods

Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: Spring Into Action

Sharkbait - March 22, 2024March 22, 2024

Happy Friday everyone! We're all pretending to work and just watching the tournament right? Right? I'll be doing at least one of those things. I never got into the NCAA tournament. Maybe because I went to a DII school and never went to a game? Either way I just root for

Good morning and Happy Saint Patrick's Day! If you're celebrating today and need a few Irish menu suggestions well, here you go. Our menu today is very LA-centric. Live in LA long enough you will find yourself in Chinatown. If you've been to Chinatown more than a few times, you're going to find Yang

Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: Daiquiri Days Are Here Again

Sharkbait - March 15, 2024March 29, 2024

Ok so maybe not completely here again, but they are getting close. Though an argument can be made that any day can be a daiquiri day and I'm OK with that logic. Despite being a warm weather/summer mainstay, I say let them be made any time! Especially in the late winter/early spring

Sunday Gravy with yeah right: We get to the good stuff. Perfect Prime Rib!

yeah right - March 10, 2024March 8, 2024

Good morning folks! Time to wake up and smell the horseradish! Did y'all remember to "spring forward" this morning? Don't want anyone to be an hour late for anything. I'm only here to help. Special thanks to Brother TAJ for filling in last week. It's always nice to keep you folks puzzled and

Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: Bushwick, Not Bushwood

Sharkbait - March 8, 2024March 8, 2024

Happy Friday! I'm especially happy for it to finally be the end of the week. Sharkbait 2.0 hasn't been sleeping well lately, which leads to a lot of interrupted sleep. Coupled with remote training for work starting at 7am every day this week has made for one long slog of
