After work last night, I stopped by Prune with a friend to check out their newly revived Bloody & Burger deal. For one crisp $20, on Sundays through Mondays between 5:30 and 7 PM, they hand over an expertly made Bloody Mary and one of their fantastically decadent burgers.
Bloody. Check!
Burger. Check! (Yes, it looks to be on the smaller side, but is incredibly rich and flavor packed. You will not go hungry.)
Roasted Marrow Bones. (What?!?) We couldn’t resist. Marrow was being served all around us, and it was too intriguing. If you haven’t had marrow before, I think it can be best described as meat butter. Meat. Butter. Meatbutter. At Prune, the meatbutter is served with toast, grey sea salt, and a much needed side of de-clogging parsley salad. If you’re being a rational human being, a burger plus marrow equals waaaayyyyyy too much cow. I could feel my arteries slowly solidifying, and cow-ness coming from my pores.
And then I washed my hands and went to a yoga studio.
The End.

I’m so glad I found your blog! As for Prune – good to know about this deal. It’s one of my favorite restaurants though haven’t been there for a few years. If you have not read the memoir of its chef owner, I recommend it: Blood, Bones & Butter (Gabrielle Hamilton.)
Love that book! (I wrote up a list of my favorites earlier this week, I’ll bet you’ve read a bunch already. http://smartestcleverest.com/2013/08/13/best-of-the-food-memoirs/) And I love YOUR blog – I ran into it earlier today, the little illustrations are genius.
