Notes

Tripe soup or menudo is known for its hangover curing properties. But, its a red headed bastard child to it’s American cousin, biscuits and gravy. After getting obliterated one night and trying the Mexican chaser in a bowl I almost vomed up the offal. So I devised this hangover medium that unites the American and Mexican penchant for binge drinking and eating. I felt bad that Hispanics were missing out on one of our greatest breakfast items, so Mexican flair, grease and flavors were used to win them over. Viva los alcoholico’s que mierda en se cama quando boracho!!! It’s almost worth getting two sheeted just to wake up and cook this.
