We visited The Original over the weekend and sampled several eats they will be serving at their Ugly Sweater Party. The Ugly Sweater Party menu will feature an all-you-can-eat-and-drink menu featuring signature sips like Hot Spiced Rum Cider and bites like the “Everything Bagel” Deviled eggs, Chicken Sliders & Carrot Cake.

Inspired by everything bagels, these “Everything Bagel” Deviled eggs were little bites of heaven. The recipe was a tasty variation of classic Deviled eggs and featured smoked jerky, capers and pickled red onion. The eggs had a nice savory flavor and were a hit with both Ross and I.

The Chicken Sliders were hearty sized sliders served with french fries.

The fried chicken was crunchy and juicy. The bun was soft and fluffy and the chicken crisp. So tasty; these were Ross' favorite.

The Carrot Cake was dense and had a nice zing of ginger and carrot.

The brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg gave the cake subtle spice. The cream cheese frosting was divine!

We also got to try some drinks and eats from The Original's brunch menu. I had the Bloody Mary and the Buttermilk Chicken Waffle Sandwich.

The "People's Choice" Bloody Mary is made with pepper Infused Vodka, Harissa, Horseradish and Herb Mix, Bacon, Pickled Okra, and Giardiniera.

This Bloody Mary was bomb. It was salty and savory with subtle heat from the pepper and horseradish. That spice paired wonderfully with the sweetness from the tomatoes. The garden-fresh garnishes were a refreshing palate cleanser.

The Buttermilk Chicken Waffle Sandwich is made with Maple Syrup, Barrel Aged Hot Sauce, and Sausage Gravy.

Talk about comfort food! This sandwich was the ultimate combination of sweet & savory. The Barrel Aged Hot Sauce topped this dish off with a spicy kick. The heat from the hot sauce infused with the chicken made for an awesome peppery flavor. The drizzle of sweet syrup brought maple flavor notes forward.

Big thanks to The Original and B Public Relations for hosting us!
