Holy Hangover, Batman!

Someone pass me four advils and a bucket of your finest coffee.

If life appears sluggish around here, it’s because last night Oxford threw a launch party to celebrate the publication of The Oxford Companion to American Food and Drink. Even our ironic trucker hats can’t hide these hangovers. Contrary to popular belief, we publishing nuts really know how to throw back margaritas and double-fist our Twinkies. All those in favor of embarrassing pictures say cheese…
