Eating With: The Tipsy Epicurean

Beer bonged that Bud? Hit the hooch like a hero? Chugged the
Chardonnay like a champ? Wet your whistle with Whiskey?

It’s time to make yourself something to eat.

Drunk Food #1:

This falls less under the drunk food category, as it is also delicious in our uncharacteristically sober moments, too. It’s also healthier than your typical drunk food. Best consumed paired with  anything grilled and a tall glass of Rosé…while reminiscing about past summers spent somewhere beautiful instead of hunched over a $13 grill in the parking lot behind your apartment building.
