Man learns casino losses not deductible
NEW YORK, Nov. 23 (UPI) -- A New York pub owner said his Thanksgiving turkeys are soaked in vodka, covered in vodka gravy and prepared with reservoirs for vodka shots.
Paul Hurley, owner of O'Casey's Tavern, said the booze turkey, which is injected with 100-proof Georgi vodka before cooking, was inspired by his mother 15 years ago in Ireland, the New York Post reported Monday.
"On Christmas, my mom said, 'Why not try some vodka in the turkey?'" Hurley said.
Paul Loftus, a chef at the restaurant, said a lot of the alcohol from the vodka evaporates in the oven, so extra vodka is added to the gravy. He said the turkey is also served with a reservoir filled with a fruit-flavored vodka shot and a straw.
Hurley said the $29.95 meal comes with a taxi cab ride to anywhere in New York's Manhattan borough.
