Feast on THIS!

Hello Bracketeers!

Hope you're all doing well and getting back into the swing of things! I know some of you bristle at talk of the waning days of summer, but I for one am super excited for the fall. Fall means college football, changing leaves, crispy air, and of course, spicy drinks. Come celebrate the start of fall at Feast's semi-outdoor area:

Bucky's Bloody Marys - Worth Bragging About!

Not that it should come as any surprise, but Redmond's - one of Wisconsin fans six (seven?) homes in Chicago - has one hell of a bloody mary. Knowing that many of these type of folk tend to come a few hours before the game (and Wisconsin games are usually at 11am), or just like to kick the day off right, they offer a DIY bar of enviable variety. Providing patrons with just a pint glass of ice and a travel-size bottle of vodka, Redmond's lets drinkers take the reins with a buffet of house-made and commercial mixes, hot sauces of all kinds, and a plethora of peppers, salts, and importantly - garnishes. Unlike Rockit, they smartly supply skewers for said garnishes. Let's see how they stacked up:

the taste: 4.5

the texture: 4

the kick: 5

the sight: 4.75

the buck ($5.50): 4.75

Definitely the highest ranked bloody mary so far! Congrats, Redmond's! Check out the garnishes to the right. Pickled asparagus and tomatoes, standard olives and pickles (which should not be taken for granted), huge, crispy celery sticks, and so much more....mmmmm. Guest bracketeers loved the variety available, but were especially pleased with the kick that the house mix had via the clear abundance of horseradish.

The Bracket Meets Bucky at Redmonds!

Join us this Saturday, September 6 to watch the Badgers take on Marshall in the second football game of the season: 

Redmond's

3358 N. Sheffield

Kickoff at 11 - but the bar opens at 9. 

We've been known to get there right at opening and get the very last table, so come as early as your probable hangover will allow! 

Redmond's has a great brunch menu, and from what I remember they have a DIY garnish bar. So iron out that Wisconsin gear, grab the ole' pigskin & a straw, and take a taste of what they have to offer! 

Love & libations, 

Danielle & Bucky
