The full recipe can be found at ManBQue.

It’s really not complicated at all, though. You just need some seasoned meat, some stainless steel shot glasses without logos for molds, your choice of liquor, and some cheese sticks. The recipe is focused on using some homemade bacon vodka, but another site recommended bloody marys, too. I love that they replaced the celery stick stirrers with cheese sticks instead. Very fitting for the burger theme!

Salvatore's Restaurant in Boston is now selling alcohol-infused pizzas for adults
Many people enjoy a cold beer with their pizza, but this guy took it one step farther to class it up instead. As he tells the story:

“We got some dried Italian cherries, and we cooked them, and they were too tough…Obviously, we had to soak them a little, so I decided to soak them in raspberry vodka.”

Because the vodka pizza was such a success, they’re adding other alcoholic pizzas, too: : the “Drunken Pig,” which consists of braised pork marinated in Kahlua with caramelized Granny Smith apples, spicy hot honey and ricotta cheese, and the “Calabria Peach,” which has rum-infused peaches with soppressata picante, mascarpone, basil and more fresh mozzarella.

I have no idea how much you would even be able to taste it in the pizza, and after being cooked, I highly doubt the alcohol content is very high either. It could definitely be delicious with those ingredients, though.

*raises hand*

Me. I don’t want a wedding cake made out of pancakes. Well, I mean, maybe I would…. pancakes are pretty good, but…. Ooo, I wonder if they would allow a syrup fountain? It’d be a wedding cake fondue event with….

Wait, no. I said I didn’t want this, didn’t I? Oops.

Anyway, for those who really do want it, apparently Denny’s is opening a new location up in Las Vegas that will not only hold wedding ceremonies, as per the  marriage tradition in the city, but it will also have a full service bar for all the guests. You wouldn’t want your Elvis priest to be sober, right?

Also, I wasn’t joking about the pancake wedding cake. The chief marketing officer said it:

“It’s unique. It’s different. It’s going to be an icon within Vegas. People are going to want to travel to see this Denny’s,” she said. “The wedding scene is such a part of Vegas, and who doesn’t want a wedding cake made out of pancakes?”

Ooooo, and look at this cake I found while looking for a pancake one. Too bad it’s mostly real cake only shaped to look like breakfast foods.
