Tipsy Parson

A tipsy parson, apparently, is a cake soaked in alcohol and served with custard and almonds. It's also the name of a newish restaurant in Chelsea serving refined takes on Southern comfort food. At a recent brunch, these included a respectable monkey bread and a tangy tilapia po'boy.



But Southern food ain't complete without a cardiological absurdity. Tipsy Parson delivered with "The Luther," a bacon cheeseburger served on glazed donuts. It's preposterous, something you'd expect to find on The Simpsons. It's also delicious, a distillation of the range of breakfast flavors. Now if we could just shake this tingling sensation in our arms.


Yes, folks, we really ate this.
