Best of 2008 Staff Picks: food + drink: Best cure for a hangover, - by City Paper Staff

Best cure for a hangover, "hair of the dog that bit you" division

Knowing that the linchpin guest of any brunch is Bloody Mary, Six Penn's executive chef Keith "Illustrated Man" Fuller (look for the tattooed dude in a white jacket) and bar manager Tom Nazaruk (no tattoos we know of yet) offer two styles. One is a zippy traditional "house" version, served with a light, lager-style beer chaser; the "Smoky Mary" features fresh house-smoked tomatoes (in season, these come from the restaurant's roof garden or local farms), along with shallots, olives, a secret mix of spices, and Ketel One vodka for "nuttiness," and served with a dark-beer back, like Arrogant Bastard. Match the cocktail with Fuller's "coffee frites" -- Belgian-style shoestring taters dusted with a mix of sugar, spices and powdered fresh grounds from locals Coffee Tree Roasters -- and your Saturday-night superpowers should make a triumphant return. If that doesn't work, add an order of the tempura-battered bacon and prepare for battle!
