Runny eggs, crispy bacon, buttery toast… I’m missing something… a Bloody Mary! It’s hard to deny that a Bloody Mary is the perfect finishing touch to a scrumptious brunch meal. We all like our Marys prepared a little differently: heavier on the worcestershire, heavier on the lemon, extra olives, extra jalapenos. Luckily, there are plenty of restaurants in Columbus that will dazzle you with the most delicious Bloody Marys you’ve ever had. Check them out!
