Best Bloody Mary

At some point in L.A.'s blue crab-Weiser Farms potato hash brunch history, the Bloody Mary crossed the great kitchen divide from doctored-up bottled tomato juice sips to fresh ingredients only-type fare. Whether that's a good thing depends on where you stand on the Bloody Mary-as-liquid-ketchup flavor spectrum. Regardless, long before those mixology-inspired heirloom tomato juice versions, there was, and still is, the thoughtful, fresh-forward Bloody Mary at Joe's Restaurant. Light on the tomato juice so it doesn't overwhelm Joe Miller's brunch creations, you can taste those subtle chef tweeks and tinkerings. Only here, as we've come to expect from Miller, they're done in a very restrained, classic Bloody Mary tribute sort of way. -Jenn Garbee
