In Case You’re Wondering, This Is How You’ll Die

Posted by Jason Sheehan on August 30th, 2012

No, you can’t get one here (at least not yet). And no, this isn’t some sort of hoax (because that would just be a little sad). But in case you were wondering what it is that will eventually, inevitably kill you, the folks over at HuffPost Food have found it. It’s called The Bloody Best and is served at The Nook restaurant in Atlanta. Apparently, in this one 32 oz glass is “everything a hungover brunch-goer could ask for.” To wit:

This beast boasts 8 oz. of Absolut Peppar vodka mixed with a special Bloody Mary mix. Then we garnish it with pepperoncinis, jalapenos, Tots, steak, a slice of toast, and a hard-boiled egg. Served with a Beef Straw to drink from (not kidding). This monster is amazing!

And that’s from The Nook itself, describing their own monster concoction. The two most amazing things about that description? First, the phrase “beef straw” (natch). But second, that with 8 oz of vodka in it, the liquid portion of the drink is fully one-quarter alcohol. The rest of it? 100% awesome.

UPDATE: Come to find, the Bloody Best is not even close to the most powerful drink on this cocktail menu. For reference, check out the “Fishbowl” section of the menu where each drinks carries a whopping 16 ozs of liquor. That’s more than a bottle of beer’s worth of the hard stuff, per drink. If anyone needs me, I’ll be in Atlanta.

      Is this Atlanta Foobooz, or Philadelphia Foobooz? Did I make some sort of mistake? Why is this here?

      Okay, the Philly Foodies can’t wait 20 years for “The Nook” chain to make its way north. Some foodie braniac has got to A. ) Create their own twist to this mad monster or B.) Create an even spectacular concoction that will bring an even quicker death! Hmm!

      @No: because only maybe 2 food-related things happened today in Philly?

      Is the bacon on top part of the standard that they forgot to mention, or is it a side order?

      @Tijuana: Nice work! Throw in a can of Four Loko, and I can totally see it. (Though maybe we shouldn’t give Levin any ideas.)
