Everyone has had that bad morning after doing too many tequila shots, but hopefully you'll feel a little differently after this event. From March 2-15, Oyamel will be hosting a Tequila and Mezcal Festival. During the Festival, you'll be able to sample a variety of tequilas and mezcals, as well as various antojitos (small plates) that feature the liquors among their ingredients ($8.50-12). In addition to the options pictured below, they will also be serving Hawaiian marlin ceviche marinated in tangerine and reposado tequila, and mushroom-nopal soup with tequila blanco.
On March 3, from 5 to 7p.m., there will be a free tequila tasting with Siembra Azul tequila's David Suro. On March 5, from 5 to 7p.m., join Del Maguey's Ron Cooper for a free tasting of single village mezcal, including the one we mentioned that is distilled through a chicken breast. Cooper has explored numerous villages in Mexico to bring their mezcals to market.
Other events include a paired tasting dinner on March 4 with flights of three tequilas or mezcals starting at $15. For more details about all the events, check out the event website.

That's it. I was on the fence, but now I'm definitely getting the Tippy's Taco House 10-Tacos-for-$10 taco kit. That'll teach that colon who's boss. Y'hear that, colon?! Daddy's COMING! Baby wants blue velvet!
Is it me, or does that salad look really sad? A couple pieces of arugula, avocado and...is that a piece of iceberg lettuce in the middle?
There are 5 pine nuts (roasted). Will monocles be provided so your super small plates look like regular small plates?
Molcajete sauce? You mean it's made out of volcanic rock? 'Ats a some 'a spicey roughage!
And I may be paranoid, but I think that tentacle is giving me the finger.
Feel like Hunter S. Thompson be licking that salad.
Is that a scorpion in the salad?
i was wondering the same thing!
All the celebrity chefs are putting scorpions in their salads now. Charlie Trotter was the first, but Tom Colicchio upped the ante with his signature Face-f**king Bat "Deconstructed" Caesar Salad with Cobra Frisee with Wolf Spider Coulis. It's all about the presentation. The sous chef takes the ingredients, re-assembles the bat, hooks it up to a car battery, puts it in your lap, then turns the ignition. The meal then attaches itself to your face, prongs out, until you almost suffocate. Then the sommalier administers the facef**king bat sperm antidote "pudding." I found it not uninspired.
I heard their dessert is Crunchy Frog and Spring Surprise chocolates.
Well, if they took the bones out, it wouldn't be crunchy would it? Besides, they use only the finest baby frogs, dew-picked and flown from Iraq, cleansed in the finest quality spring water, lightly killed, and then sealed in a succulent Swiss quintuple smooth treble cream milk chocolate envelope, and lovingly frosted with glucose.
I, however, usually opt for the Number five Ram's Bladder Cup. They use choicest juicy chunks of fresh Cornish ram's bladder, emptied, steamed, flavoured with sesame seeds, whipped into a fondue and garnished with lark's vomit.
It looks like a tiny Peking duck
Speaking of pork bellies, kudos to whomever recommended Grace Garden in Odenton. The szechuan pork belly f**ked my $h!t UP. The fish noodles were also outstanding (handmade, too) but the tops was the Szechuan Triple Treasure (Beef Tongue, Tripe and Tendon Mixed with Spicy Sichuan Sauce, Scallions & Peanuts, Served Chilled). Like some unholy alliance of head cheese, charcuterie, and spices, it forces the diner to ask, "With tripe this good, why the f**k am I even bothering to eat sirloin?" Truly outstanding food at stripmall carryout prices. If you're ever heading back from Baltimore, it's more than worth the detour.
Yeah this is nice and all, but where is the real food? Isn't this too early for April Fool's tricks?
