Bloody Mary with a side of Guinness?? Sign me up.

Its daytime, 70 degrees and I’m having lunch in midtown Atlanta, at a trendy “Gastropub” that calls itself TAP, we’re seated on the patio… What do you think I ordered to drink? You bet your ass I ordered a (spicy) bloody Mary… Which you will come to find out is one of my life staples. This Bloody Mary was unique. Not only did it have a 4 pickle assortment garnish (which I ate too quick to photograph) and a perfect amount of spice, but it oddly came with a baby glass of Guinness which placed a giant smile on my face. “This is my kinda place”. The server explained it was to cleanse the palate after sipping the Mary, but before indulging in your dish” I liked the idea. I liked the taste. I liked the transition. Now for the food: We started off with fried pickles because I never had them before & was apparently on a pickle kick after the BM garnish. The fried picks came with a jalapeno dipping sauce. It was lightly fried so the pickle taste certainly came through. It was good, it was exactly what I was looking for. For the entree Chris & I split a salad & a sandwich. Salad was simple greens tossed with tomatoes & Jicama in a creamy cilantro dressing. Sandwich was on 9 grain bread packed with off the bird, roasted turkey, pickled red cabbage and avocado. It was a perfect lunch. Go.
