Restaurant: The Sunburnt Cow
Rating: ♔♔
The lighting in the interior and bar are dim compared to the outdoor dining space in the shape of a bullpen and enclosed by artificial walls that strangely resemble a rock-climbing course.
The menu is as simple as can be. $18 gets you an entree and all you can drink Moo-Moosas, Moo Mary's, Foster's, Screwdrivers, and Greyhounds. We started off with a couple rounds of Moo-Moosas, which were fairly generous with the champagne.
The plates are fairly traditional brunch items, but all are done very well. The burger was moist and tasty, and served with a side of crispy French fries.
I had the egg white omelet with spinach and cheddar, which was surprisingly fresh and not the least bit greasy.
Below is Queen Adelaide, poached eggs with salmon and avocado on an English muffin, served with Hollandaise sauce on the side. Delicious and healthy, minus the hollandaise!
Finally, the Steak Sandwich platter was a bit hit. Tender slices of skirt steak are sandwiched between two crisp toasts. After the food, we had another round of drinks. The rest of the afternoon is history.
Lately, I had a discussion with a friend on hangover cures, and apparently, alcohol cures hangovers?! That definitely caught me by surprise, but if that really is true (please feel free to comment on your experience), then The Sunburnt Cow might just be the place for us all.

Yeah, alcohol cures hangovers, but then you're just drunk again. My favorite hangover cure is a burger, fries, a coca-cola, and a coffee.
ReplyDeleteAlcohols is great for POSTPONING hangovers. I was on the beach in Acapuloco and some sweaty fat guy came up to my friends and me to hand out flyers for his night club. As he walked away he said (in spanish) in a fatherly voice, "Remember kids, avoid hangovers. Stay drunk."
