A Spirited Toast to All Things Alcoholic! By Leslie Dinaberg\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

While nothing says “bloody good brunch” like a Bloody Mary, Finch & Fork<\/strong> bartender Joe Dohany<\/a>\u00a0has bumped it up a notch with some cocktails designed especially for day drinking.<\/p>\n

New to the menu is\u00a0Dohany\u2019s Breakfast of Champions<\/strong>, a bold drink with bacon\u2013washed bourbon, pecan syrup and peach bitters. He\u2019s also added a Guava Margarita<\/strong> with jalape\u00f1o\u2013infused tequila, guava and lime\u00a0as well as the Stinger<\/strong> with cognac and cr\u00e8me de menthe. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

There’s always the brunch time favorite Bloody Mary<\/strong>, which has also been upgraded, while a variety of mimosas<\/strong>, like orange, grapefruit, cranberry and peach are still available refills for just\u00a0$1.<\/span><\/p>\n

Chef James Siao\u2019s midmorning eats\u00a0are also top notch.\u00a0<\/span>Pair the cocktails with Siao\u2019s Buttermilk Fried Chicken<\/b>, served with kale slaw, pickles and smoked honey mustard, the Roasted Pork Belly & Egg<\/b> with poached eggs, smashed avocado, toasted bread, chipotle hollandaise and home fries, or the Caramelized Banana French Toast<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Brunch<\/b> is served every Saturday and Sunday at Finch & Fork (31 W. Carrillo St.) from 8 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., <\/span>Finchandforkrestaurant.com<\/a>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
