No idea if you would ever have any reason to be down that way, but the best Bloody Mary I've ever had is from a tiny little brunch spot called The Iron Whisk in Cobden, IL. It has just enough smokiness to cancel out the off-putting sweetness of the tomato juice without going overboard. Their food is great also.
I'd love to see it, but Damonte was at least willing to shoot when he got to college. He attempted over one a game his first two seasons. (40 & 41 attempts)
That's a man who will own the paint, and all who dare enter.
Never been, but do pass along the 57 there every couple of years, will keep it in mind. Never had a 'smoky' bloody mary, (checked their website) but I do enjoy smoky/peaty scotches/bourbons.
Twisted spoke in Chicago is my favorite bloody Mary. Great roof deck and good food as well
I'll have to check it out. Usually eat at the Mexican taco stand,but for some reason, I didn't make it there this Summer.
It’s a very small space, so there’s usually a wait, but it’s worth it. I love the taco stand also. And then you can waste the day away at Fuzzy’s!
I “liked” this because I agree with the sentiment, but without looking it up, I’m like 99% sure Ty took a corner 3 his freshman year.
He did. Airball from the corner.
Good point I did not think about that thought early game but completely makes since especially with football down south thanks for pointing that out
I feel like I must have fallen asleep when Dra was in near the end of the year because I keep seeing people say he showed flashes late, and I just didn’t see it. He didn’t get lost as much on D and seemed to give good effort on that end, but I didn’t think results were great. I can’t remember if he was battling an injury, but he didn’t play much down the stretch of regular season after going 2 for 11 against Mich and PSU. He did play in conf and NCAA tourney, but other than the two 3s against Morehead, I didn’t see him do all that much. Again, maybe I was dozing.
He already has my respect for sticking around. But, IMO, he will need to take a huge step to be part of the regular rotation, especially considering the talent (presumably) in front of him.
Ty actually shot the ball more in high school and had a decent shot. From his scouting report in high school on 247 it says hes best at mid and close range scoring, but isnt a reliable long range shooter at this point but his range is improving.
Ok, I am also 60+ and Bloody Mary's are pretty much my only drink now. Here you go: start with a Bloody Mary mix (there are many good ones, regular or spicy, Mix has more full body flavor than just tomato juice and I can drink some of them straight instead of tomato juice, which I don't drink), a decent vodka, then add a couple tablespoons of worcestershire, a couple tablespoons of pickle brine, a couple shakes of celery salt (or Taijin), then a splash of tobasco, and a little horseradish (adjust tobasco and horseradish to the "bite" you like), then a celery stick and a couple olives. I don't like a charcuterie board in my drink. That's all I got today.
