The name Hungry and Hungover has never been more apropos than it was this weekend.  We were definitely feeling the effects of the previous night (who can resist a karaoke competition at The Hippo?!?), and were STARVING for something greasy and carby.  Fortunately, we wound up at the perfect place to take care of all our needs.  If we were living the ritzy life last week, No Idea Tavern would be on the other end of the spectrum.  And it was amazing in all its diveiness!  The menu is limited, but definitely served its need.

Let's start with our beloved Mimosas and talk about the magic of our server, Jeremy.  As soon as we sat down, Jeremy brought over waters.  He might have gotten the hint that we needed hydration from the fact that we were still wearing our sunglasses inside.  We ordered our first round of mimosas, and they were brought over just as quickly. The mimosas were a little more orangey than is preferable, but still delicious.  

 And yes, even though she never reads this, we had a special guest this weekend, which means we got to try three of their entrees.  We ordered the Breakfast Burrito, the Breakfast Sandwich, the French Toast, and a side of bacon.  The special of the day was homemade corned beef hash, but they were out of it by the time we got there.  I'm assuming it's as amazing as it sounds!

Yes, those are tator tots!  Our love of tots is infinite.  Shannon's opinion of the Breakfast Sandwich was, and I quote, "This saved my life!"  The Breakfast Burrito was good in a "oh god, I need food" kind of way.  We both put Sriacha on everything, but we do that regardless of how much we like the food.  The French Toast was yummy too.  The bacon left a lot to be desired in terms of crispiness, but it's still bacon, and bacon is inherently good.  It took about a mimosa for us to get our food.  

Back to the magic of Jeremy, my mimosa was empty at 11:06am and full by 11:07am.  I love that kind of service!  We did a few rounds of mimosas, then ordered the Bloody Mary's like the good brunchers we are.  They were good, and thankfully we didn't detect any fish guts ;)  After that came one of the things I have learned to love about Baltimore- Natty Boh's.  This is the first place I've heard of that offers beer as part of their bottomless option.  While chatting with one of the best bartenders we've met, George, we learned that they also offer Slushes, and he was more than happy to give us a bit of everything.  

Did not end that way.

Started innocently...

Overall, we had an amazing time at brunch this week, and definitely recommend this place!  This is the type of place you can drag yourself and friends into being only semi-conscious and having difficulty with the sun.

Till next time,
