Problem: Need to figure out what to do with 3 bottles of flavored vodka (Triple Espresso, Tomato, Root Beer), sent to us courtesy of Three Olives Vodka
Solution: Giveaway contest on Brooklynian
Contest rules: 1.Identify the MOST AWESOME POST of the last few weeks (or the coming week). This can be your post or someone else's. "Awesome" is defined by your own totally subjective and irrational criteria (funniest post; most insightful post; biggest gentrifier; largest roach consumed; etc.). A post does not have to be a "thread-starter" to be Most Awesome post.
2. Nominate the post by linking it in this thread. Give us some details so we don't have to click through to figure out what you are talking about. (Yeah, I mean you, clintonhillchill.)
3. Wait patiently.
4. Vote for the Most Awesome Post. Once we get enough nominations, we'll start a poll. The author of the post with the most votes gets first choice of vodka. The author of the second-ranked post gets second choice, and the author of the third happily accepts the remaining bottle.
Technical Note to Winners: actually... the Three Olives people do not condone giveaways of these bottles, and since the originals have already been "sampled" anyway, we'll have to arrange for you to get a bottle identical to the ones we have in house at this point (or we'll give you sufficient PayPal funds for you to go out and purchase the flavor of your choice. I think Three Olives has more than a dozen flavors by now).
EVERYBODY WINS!

Check your link - I don't think it points to whatever you intended to point to.

I'm hoping for a tie. That way we can have a run-off where the ultimate winner has to come up with the best tasting drink combining all three flavors of vodka (and mixers of his/her choice). "Best" being relative, of course.

WhyFi - they have an extra large egg for men (in case you want to enter the competition)
I would so win. Not only do I have manly, crusty feet, but I'd have no shame - I'd get 'contributions' from sandal wearers on the subway if necessary.

About DiFara's - it's a major commitment - like falling in love, or buying a home, or deciding to have a child. You have to commit with your whole heart, soul and head. You have to know that this is the culinary equivalent of making a haj to Mecca. There's no turning back, no second guessing, and no critical review. You decide to go and you go and no matter when you go it will be crowded and there will be true believers there before you. You will watch Dom make one pie order at a time and you will be mesmerized at the love and care and skill and fresh ingredients that go into it. You will be child-like in your anticipation of the coming of your pie. And, if the planets are aligned, and the gods of even heating are present in the building you will get a perfectly charred pie, crispy crust and perfect temperature center and it will be the best pie you have ever eaten. You will not ever think anything differently. Because you made the ultimate commitment to this pie with your heart, your soul, your head and your love Of Dom and the myth and mythology that surrounds him.

Daily Heights seems to be partial to my Associated letters post. ...but I give away the vodka with the letters. A bunch of drunks eating chicken rings, dancing around Underhill at midnight, all while admiring some filthy decrepit plastic letters ...I can't think of anything more beautiful.
