@Irishk,
Not sure if you know what a Ceasar is or not, just ignore if you have, but it's the Canadian version of the bloody mary made with Clamato (a thinner tomato juice and clam concotion) and vodka. It's normally spiced with worchesteshire and tabasco and the glass is rimmed with celery salt. Anywho... I had it with horseradish infused vodka and it was to die for. Bacon infused would probably be awesome too!
I'm going to nominate Nola's gumbo. Of course someplaces make it better than others but it's lovely.
