Mojave - Astoria, NY

Hey Everyone! Back for more of the Best Food Around Town. This week I visited Mojave restaurant in Astoria. They are a sister restaurant of Agave in the NYC. Both restaurants are very good! Mojave has a better atmosphere and is a bigger place. Agave is good but cramped if you can make it to Mojave instead definitely worth the trip.

Me and some friends went for brunch and I had the Mojave Benedict, which was good and different. Poached eggs with avocado and tomato in a habanero hollandaise sauce. Besides the food being very good and utique, the prices are very reasonable. However the reason for this blog is more for a particular drink they serve at Mojave.

THE PUNISHER!!!!.....(link to cocktails menu...on top left hand side) this drink isn't for the faint hearted. As they make you sign a waver before you drink it. agave tequilla infused with habaneros. Yes people yours truely has taken the challenge and passed it. Its a double shot glass and the deal is you can't drink or eat anything for 5 minutes after you have it. The best way to defeat this challenge is to pound the shot and wait patiently as time ticks by. Thinking about it might sound alot longer then it was. As I sat there with my mouth ablaze, 5 minutes seems like forever. If your intrigued I would first ask yourself...do I like hot spicy stuff....if you answer that with a yes. Then I would say you maybe up for the challenge.....

Pictures to follow........
