People who go into cooking generally enjoy getting to be creative. I love those insane creations that require load bearing anything (although I don't think I've seen straws, usually it's toothpicks, skewers, or pickle spears).
My absolute favorite wasn't the tastiest but it was definitely the coolest. The guy made a pretty standard bacon jalapeno burger, added some house made barbecue sauce, cut it into pieces, skewered it, and served it as the garnish for a pitcher of micheladas.
Note: A michelada is kind of what you'd get if a bloody Mary went to Mexico on vacation and added beer and spices.
Kinda sounds like what people do to Caesars around here. Buy a drink basically get a meal on a skewer sticking out of it.
It's so strange, around here there's no real difference between a bloody Mary and a bloody Caesar. I know what the difference really is but no one seems to give a shit at brunch.
However, folks around here are super proud of their micheladas. Everyone does the clamato juice with vodka, beer, and Tajin. But they all try to outdo each other with the other spices and presentation.
Other than my friend's pitcher that I loved, the place that does the best micheladas in my opinion is Captain Tom's. It's the most mediocre seafood joint that is amazing when you're getting over being fucked up. If I hadn't been to Taqueria Ruby tonight to fix myself I'd definitely be there tomorrow morning trying to feel normal.
