Because Wisconsin.
The “Chicken Fried Bloody Mary” is everything you could hope for and more: an 80 oz. Bloody Mary topped with cheeseburger sliders, bacon-wrapped jalapeno cheeseball skewers, along with some more traditional bloody mary garnishes.
Oh, and a four-pound chicken.
We can thank Sobelman's Pub & Grill in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, for this creation. Unfortunately, the Chicken Fried Bloody Mary was a temporary menu item to help raise money for the HungerTask Force, but it's an ode to the truly museum-worthy drinks you can buy every day at the establishment.
The bar and restaurant is known for three different Bloody Marys: The Crown Mary, The Baconado, and The Masterpiece. The last is the most intriguing.
The Masterpiece is quite literally an entire meal on top of a drink: pickled asparagus, pickled Brussels sprouts, green onion, a dill pickle spear, a stalk of celery, olives, cherry tomatoes, pepperoncini, cheese curds, jumbo shrimp, lemon, a cured sausage stick, and a cheeseburger slider.
All of that on top of the already savory drink mix, and you've got a meal to share.
And because it's the Midwest, this completely over-the-top, dream-worthy Bloody Mary is only $11.
