Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: Day of the Daiquiri

Sharkbait - May 31, 2019May 30, 2019

Despite unseasonably cool temperatures in the Northeast, it is after Memorial Day, and therefore officially Summer in my book. With that in mind I'm going to drink like it's summer. For that reason, I'm kicking off the Summer drinking season with a couple daiquiris. Put. The blender. Back. These are

Sunday Gravy with yeah right: A new Chicken Marinade for Balls of Steel!

yeah right - May 26, 2019May 25, 2019

Good morning everyone! Happy middle of the Memorial Day weekend. It's our turn for the extra day off dammit. What is everyone doing over this weekend? Drinking? I already knew that. How about grilling? There we go. I'm a little worried that my grand ambition of grilling both on Sunday AND Monday this weekend might be

Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: Sweet Broiled Lemon Margarita

So, I've ignored this spirit long enough. It's my fault tequila doesn't hold a place on my bar. I usually keep vodka, whisk(e)y and gin in the three decanters that occupy the prime real estate on my bar. The fact that I own tequila and rarely use it is something of

Sunday Gravy with yeah right: Show some love for the Ham Bone!

yeah right - May 19, 2019May 18, 2019

Good morning all! It's that time again. Sunday Gravy pushes on. Over the past few weeks we've been seeing quite a few ham-centric menus and we are here today to write the final hammy chapter of this Extr-HAM-aganza! Goddamn. Sorry about that. Fucking dipshit. We started this party 3 weeks ago with the traditional

Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: Peacock Alley Martinez

Sharkbait - May 17, 2019May 17, 2019

Back to back weeks featuring drinks from Manhattan. We're not making a Manhattan however. We're mixing up something a bit different. This week's cocktail is a Peacock Alley Martinez from the Waldorf Astoria Bar Book by Frank Caiafa. I first heard of this magical concoction from the New York Times,

Good morning everyone! Welcome back. We've got some good shit today including several menu suggestions and I guarantee you will find something appealing here. First a quick rant though because I have to. Today is "Mother's Day." Yet another in a long line of bullshit Hallmark "Holidays." First of all it ain't a motherfucking "holiday"

Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: Hanky Panky

Sharkbait - May 10, 2019May 10, 2019

Greetings fellow drinkers. This week's drink is another pre-prohibition classic. I decided that after the last couple weeks of going a little off the board and exploring the cocktail spectrum, we'd go old school, and not because I now have a bottle of Fernet Branca and need an excuse to

Sunday Gravy with yeah right: Smothered Steak from a non-Southern Southern Boy

yeah right - May 5, 2019May 4, 2019

Good morning everyone! Glad to have you here. We've got some fun stuff for you today. I'm going back to my Southern style and continuing yet again with the homemade bread shit. I've gained such confidence with my bread dough that there's not even a ripple of trepidation when it comes to

Sunday Gravy with yeah right: The Spring Gathering and Family. And Family.

yeah right - April 28, 2019April 26, 2019

Greetings all and happy Sunday! Last week was the annual right family Spring gathering - non Saint Patrick's Day edition - and it was flat out fucking amazing. Can't wait for the next gathering. While there are indeed a few family members who are involved with their church, there are just as many

Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: Saigon Special

Sharkbait - April 26, 2019April 26, 2019

I am a bit of a history nerd. I've successfully tied in a bit of history to the cocktail of the week before, and intend to do so again this week. Late April in 1975, the city of Saigon fell, and the thirty year conflict in Vietnam finally came to

Sunday Gravy with yeah right: Cevapcici! We’re going Balkan Crazy!

yeah right - April 21, 2019April 20, 2019

Good morning all! Happy Easter to those who observe, Happy Passover to those who observe and Happy Zombie Jesus and All Heathen's Feast Day to the rest of us. That doesn't mean we're doing an Easter dinner Sunday Gravy today. Remember the one week delay rule? If you want to drool over an Easter dinner

Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: The French 75

Sharkbait - April 19, 2019April 19, 2019

Monday was not a good day for the people of Paris. It really can't be when history is literally going up in flames. For Parisians, Notre-Dame is more than just a cathedral. It performs its function as a house of worship quite well, but it serves as a monument to
