#SundayFunday – Stuffed Bacon Donuts: The Hangover’s Cure

The Stuffed Bacon Donuts from The Hangover Pub in Worcester, MA

Let’s just get to the point. The debate over the cure for a hangover has loomed over our generation for far too long. The solution for bouncing back after a night out on the town is not hidden in the medicine aisle of your local drug store nor is it fizzing among the bubbles of your lemon-lime Sprite. Worcester’s Hangover Pub, however, has unearthed a cure of their own, and it can be found on their dessert menu. They believe you’ll find solace between hefty bites of a stuffed bacon donut.

While we have all experienced one or two questionable Saturday nights, only a handful of us have soaked up the experienced with a dessert so good it solidifies the true meaning of #SundayFunday. The Hangover Pub isn’t your typical bar serving up half-pound burgers and fries. Instead, the Hangover has made a name for itself with Chef Michael Arrastia’s infusion of bacon into every meal on the menu. From the lobster and bacon stuffed mofongo – a dish that kicks up Latin flavors with a little sofrito wine sauce – to the triple pork ramen – a meal filled with three variations of pork – the Hangover Pub carves its name in bold letters marking the home of Worcester’s hub for indulgence.

Vanilla ice cream stuffed between two donuts, topped with dripping cereal milk glaze and a breakfast cereal crust – a combination of fruity pebbles, cinnamon toast crunch and bacon bits – make the stuffed bacon donuts a cure for more than just hangovers. The sweet and savory combination explodes with every bite. From the sweet vanilla ice cream to the crunchy bits of thick maple bacon, the stuffed bacon donuts are worthy of a #SundayFunday visit. If you’re not looking to cure a hangover with this sweet plate, then pair the stuffed bacon donut with the Warm Soul cocktail – a maple bourbon with smoked caramel, Irish cream, Nitro Hot Coffee topped with whipped cream – to magnify the mark of a #SundayFunday.

#SundayFunday – Eat at Jumbo’s. Enough Said.

Eating wings during the Super Bowl isn’t a cliché for New Englanders, it’s a way of life. When your home team is led by the GOAT – you don’t want to bite into a tiny cucumber sandwich with the crusts cut off during the fourth quarter with 2 minutes left and no timeouts! Instead, you can elevate the game highlights with a meaty, saucy wing that captures the true feeling of Super Bowl in New England. While there are a lot of wing places, there’s only one that tells you where to go right in its name: Eat at Jumbo’s.

Winner of the 2017 Best Wings by Boston A-List and listed as one of Thrillist’s Best Wings, Eat at Jumbo’s is one of the great local places where everyone knows your name. With a menu serving forty wing sauces – all bottled in-house – customizing an NFL game day meal is as easy as Brady throwing to Amendola for the winning touchdown. With authentic wing flavors like the suicidal tender sauce – a homemade hot sauce lined with a kiss of death – and the pterodactyl sauce – a bbq sauce with a mild kick at the end – eating at Jumbo’s turns an ordinary Sunday in Somerville into a #SundayFunday filled with flavor exploration and adventurous eating. Of course, we go for the wings, especially during Super Bowl Sunday, but if you’re looking for variety, not to worry because Eat at Jumbo’s is as unique as its name.

From the Atomic Burger – a burger topped with Jalapenos and ‘napalm death sauce’ – to the Bob Marley Pizza – a pesto base pie topped with free-range Rasta Jamaican jerk chicken, banana peppers, and Roma tomatoes – eating at Jumbo’s is all about the electric experience and the defiance of your regular pizza and wing place. Eat at Jumbo’s receives the #SundayFunday seal of approval and not just for their creativity, but for those suicidal tenders – our mouths are still on fire.
