Crystal Head Vodka is no joke

Monday, October 6th, 2008

On Friday, the web was peppered with rumblings about a video featuring Dan Ackroyd of SNL/Ghost Busters fame promoting vodka in a replica of a crystal skull. Some people thought it was a joke - a satire piece to promote the upcoming Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull DVD release, but believe it or not it’s real.

Crystal Head is a quadruple-distilled, Herkimer diamond-filtered vodka produced by the Newfoundland Liquor Corporation according to the Crystal Head Vodka website. The bottle is an accurate glass rendering of the human skull created by artist, John Alexander.

Although I couldn’t find any package stores in Atlanta who plan to carry it (or had heard of it for that matter), you can purchase it online at winex.com and BevMo.com. Crystal Skull retails online between $39 - $49.

Two Urban Licks brings the heat to ABC’s “The View”

Friday, March 21st, 2008

Hotlanta made a scorch mark on television this morning. On ABC’s “The View,” Two Urban Licks was featured as one of several restaurants serving some of the hottest foods in the U.S.

Food Network’s “Unwrapped” host Marc Summers led the segment sampling Two Urban Licks’ baby back ribs that are apparently slathered in a barbecue sauce infused with a Tabasco sauce reduction — which is the source of all its heat.

View host Sherri Shepherd sampled most of dishes and originally didn’t think the the ribs were too spicy, but the heat crept up on her as she soon downed a glass of milk to cool her palette. The list of all the restaurant dishes mentioned on today’s show will be posted on The View’s web site later today. Two Urban Licks is located at 820 Ralph McGill Boulevard. Call for reservations.
