Let me know where a prole like me can order a case of Underberg!  

 

Came over here to say that Ramazzotti might be the new front runner for favorite amaro.  

Perfect balance of herbs and sweet, with that awesome wallop of orange peel, YUM!

Wow! That will certainly make up for at least when you are in that location.

Yes, indeed-- and they were nice enough to give me the BRANCA book as well. Wearing a custom Fernet-Branca face mask probably helped, I assume.

They should give you an official title for raising brand awareness, present it to you in Italy.  What's the Italian counterpart to Kentucky Colonel.

Count Branca, of course.

I’m awfully sorry Marek. I had the Branca a few months back and really didn’t care for it.  The way the bartender made a point of washing out the serving glass was probably an indication.

It is most definitely an acquired taste and one that works well for those of us who have grown quite bitter over the years... 🤣

It really does hit the spot after a notably robust meal.  I wouldn't have it after a grilled chicken caesar salad......but then again, I wouldn't have a grilled chicken caesar salad either.  🤔

Yeah - I remember pondering the brussell sprout/shrooms side at Chops, and your response was along the lines of "Hey, you do you, but I'd go for the mac n' cheese".  

 

And you were not wrong there ;)

Not when it was served at room temperature— a miss in my book.

That pisses me off more than overcooked steak.
