The Fried-- Well, Chicken.

best bloody mary garnish

Just when we thought chicken wings were a pretty bizarre garnish... Sobelman’s, in Milwaukee, took it to another level.

Yes, you are looking at a whole chicken atop a bloody mary. Yes it is impressive, and yes we are just as amazed as you. Garnishing a bloody mary is a craft and takes creativity that we believe these guys have an excess of.

The Double Down 

If you want to be featured on this best bloody mary garnishes list, you have to go above and beyond the call of duty. Everyone has done the cheeseburger garnish, it’s tired and dragged out.

The charm here, and the title’s origin, comes from the fact that you could find these things in your local gas station wrapped in foil under a heat lamp. Throw some ketchup on those tots and you’ve got yourself a great hangover meal, mate.

Mr. Crabs

Remember that lovable crab from your favorite childhood TV show? Luke Wholey’s Wild Alaskan Grille in Pittsburgh, PA fried him and used him as a bloody mary garnish. Not much needs to be added.

The World Health Organisation (WHO) first reported a cluster of infectious pneumonia cases, later found to be COVID-19, on the 31st of December 2019, in Wuhan City, Hubei Province, China. In the months that followed, the rest of the world caught up and began announcing large numbers of COVID-19 cases and deaths. But China, where the virus is predicted to have originated seemed to get the pandemic under control much more quickly than other countries as a result of a fast response, strict nationwide lockdown and screening measures.The graph above compares the number of COVID-19 cases, deaths and recovered patients in the top 10 GDP countries worldwide, as of the 15th of February 2021. At the time of writing, the USA has had more than 29 Million cases and half a million deaths, which is more than 100 times higher than the death figure reported by China, India, who had taken over the UK’s spot as the 5th largest economy in the world in 2019, is another country which has been badly affected by the pandemic.

On the 16th of February, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that in the United States providers were administering about 1.72 million doses per day on average. EU countries, on the other hand, have taken a slower approach to the vaccine rollout. Supply chain issues and a slow response from the EU to sign for the vaccine has meant that in the first quarter of 2021 they may receive only 40% of the amount they requested last August.The World Health Organisation (WHO) first reported a cluster of infectious pneumonia cases, later found to be COVID-19, on the 31st of December 2019, in Wuhan City, Hubei Province, China.

Generally, East and South East Asia have been praised for their approach to handling the pandemic and getting it under control more successfully than the rest of the world. Many people put this down to their previous experience with the SARS outbreak between 2002 and 2004. However, consistent advice, swift action and stricter government intervention also played a role. Whatever the reason, experts predict that the many Asian countries who were able to return to normal more quickly will have a financial advantage over the parts of the world that were not.The fate of the economy in 2021 will also determine the long-term economic outlook. Right now, we will argue that the optimistic scenario seems more likely, but a negative reversal is also into play. Will Europe’s Next Generation EU and Biden’s economic policies succeed in stabilizing the global economy and set the world on track for a brighter and more sustainable future? Will Asian economies gain ground in trade and technological innovation and set the foundations to become the dominant forces in the global scene? https://financer.com/ To analyze the trends of 2021, we need to take a look back at the year 2020 and where we are starting from. Black swan events, such as the Coronavirus pandemic affected every country on the globe. However, that doesn’t mean we’re all starting the new financial year in the same boat. In the following graph, you can see the GDP growth and unemployment rates of the top 10 GDP countries in the world.

The year 2020 will forever be defined by the worldwide Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak. At the time of writing, there have been over 114 million cases and over 2.5 million lives claimed, and devastatingly, those numbers continue to grow each day. This highly contagious virus has not just impacted those infected, specific countries or sectors. However, the whole world has felt the impact of COVID-19, and for many that impact was financial.Unsurprisingly, the aviation industry has been one of the hardest hit throughout the pandemic. IATA described the severity of the situation in their December 2020 Air Passenger Market Analysis. “The year 2020 brought an unprecedented challenge to the airline industry in a form of closed borders, strict travel controls, and depressed travel confidence – all effects of the pandemic. RPKs plunged by a dramatic 66% compared with 2019 – eight times faster than during the 12 months following the 9/11 attacks – considered to be the most severe aviation crisis prior to 2020.” https://financer.com/ Elizabeth Becker, writing for Foreign Policy believes some countries might not want to go back to pre-pandemic tourism levels. “Overnight, much of the world went from over-tourism to no tourism. Since then, locals have seen how their lives have improved without those insane crowds: clear skies with vistas stretching for miles, a drastic reduction of litter and waste, clean shorelines and canals, and a return of wildlife.”, which she says could make travel to such places more expensive than we have become accustomed to.
