Best Hangover Cure

Since I don’t get out of the house enough, it was quite a treat to hang out with my new friends Katharine and Haakon on Friday night. We went to a little basement bar called Marcus’s Martini Heaven – a place where I used to frequent in the late 90′s when I was drinking quite heavily and waiting on tables for a living. Since it’s heyday, Marcus’s has lost a bit of it’s luster … but who really can speak ill about a place that serves both edamame and tater tots? With special sauce, even. Oh, I just love Seattle sometimes.

Given that my drinking binges are pretty sporadic, my next day “aftermath” can be pretty unpredictable as well. Sometimes drinking can be a two day event, one day of debauchery and the next day reserved for recovery. This morning I woke up with a splitting headache and felt as though I had a 50lb weight tied around my neck. It’s days like these that I wish that I had a doting husband who would, in my invalid condition, bring me black coffee, crispy bacon and my laptop so I can watch Youtube videos and catch up on my favorite blogs. And really, it would have been nice to have someone scream at the neighbors this morning for taking out their recycling at 7:00 am on a Saturday. Recycling at 7:00 am! ISN’T THAT AGAINST THE LAW OR SOMETHING?!? Oh, fuck you too!

Luckily, I had already planned a trek to the suburbs to eat Korean food with Rene. And thank God. There is nothing like Korean food to make you feel right as rain.

This is the Number 13 at BCD Tofu House in Lynwood, Washington. I am going out on a limb and saying that this is hands down the best hangover cure ever. I’ve had a lot of hangovers and a lot of hangover breakfasts, but this meal brought me back from the dead – LET ME TELL YOU. I think Maker’s Mark has met it’s master.

  1. i thought the cure was a bloody mary and some bacon, but i’ll try this next time instead! looks delish!

  2. The BEST cure for a hangover…
    is to not drink!

  3. This one girl in a class I took swore by a bagel and cream cheese with a tomato slice on it. I’ve never really tested it out, but I’m the lame 25-year-old who actually enjoys sitting around at home on a Friday or Saturday night. Yup, I’m a dork. I’d imagine a smoothie would do the trick, too — but not the blending part.

  4. Makes me a little jealous of anyone who can breakfast their way out of a hangover, if i need that kinda help I’m not eating till 6 or 7 the next night. Just for delicious food that place sure looks tasty, though.

    Dani´s last blog post..If this is part of a "blog carnival", i’m pretty sure i’m the freak show…

  5. This meal looks fabulous–hangover or not!

  6. AUGH, should not have come here at this time. I WAS hungry, now I’m starving :P . Too bad I’m too poor to afford lunch :( .

  7. The meal looks great, but when it comes to hangovers, Engov is the hangover cure I am so happy to have at home. I ordered at http://engovwetrust.com, after trying it in Brazil. It’s what Brazilians use for partying. Over-the-counter hangover cure.

    Take one with your first drink, then one with your last. No hangover. I recommend Engov after trying many different so-called hangover cures.

  8. I am a huge fan of this website and I check it regularly. Keep up the good work!
