Bryan Thao Worra Sure Landed On His Feet! (Plus I Perfect The "Pizzafied" Bloody Mary)

After leaving his job at Communications Director for the Hawthorne Neighborhood Council, Bryan Thao Worra landed a Bush Fellowship worth $25K. In a...

...celebratory mood, he invited Housing Director Jeff Skrenes and me, Johnny Northside, to supper at Broadway Pizza. Above, some of the chow and Bryan doodling on a napkin. He drew a jack-knife with blades saying, "Who...what...when...where...why...how."

Naturally, conversation turned to perfecting the "Pizza-fied" Bloody Mary which I have discussed before, (click here).

This night, I had a realization: skewers can accomplish a lot.

Yes, even though it was originally Bryan's act of sprinkling Parmesan cheese on a Bloody Mary that got me thinking about "pizza-fying" the drink, I realized all kinds of ingredients (olives, picked onions, pepperoni, cheese cubs) could be put on a wooden skewer and placed in the drink! This is good, since most people's reaction to sprinkling Parmesan on a Bloody Mary is "ewwww."

But this is a case where you can eat "pizza-fied" Bloody Mary...and drink it, too!
