Burning Question: Who Has the Best Hangover Food?

5107_1162090060409_1472567709_30397572_5889097_n How sad. I’m already planning my Sunday morning. But I have a party to attend Saturday night where the vodka will flow freely and the host is known for toxic Jell-O shots. I know. Classy. Anyway, I’m always looking for a great brunch/lunch spot for tasty food to soak up all the residual alcohol. I know greasy burgers are the common cure. (Howdy, Angry Dog!) But I’m looking for something a little different yet still effective. One of my new faves is the Hangover Helper at Kozy (pictured left): a mountain of scrambled eggs, ground buffalo, mushrooms, salsa, gauc, and spinach. That and a strong cup of coffee does the trick. So, SideDishers, what gets you through the morning after?

French scrambled eggs at La Duni.
Vic @ June 26th, 2009 at 1:33 pm

Brunch at Blue Goose, doesn’t matter how hungover you look, get a mimosa some migas and couch.
JB @ June 26th, 2009 at 1:45 pm

Anything on the menu at Barbec’s.
Margaret @ June 26th, 2009 at 1:46 pm

Chips and Salsa for sure. Another beer.

My latest fav is the “Toad in a Hole” at State and Allen Lounge!! Delish and does the job!!

Causal..I need to just go pick it up and come lay back on the couch place?? Texadelphia….

Ozona – bloody mary bar
gammypie @ June 26th, 2009 at 1:59 pm

El Fenix. Ritas and enchiladas are my ultimate cure.
S @ June 26th, 2009 at 2:08 pm

another mambo taxi and Stefano’s plate at Manny’s….two chicken enchilada’s with sunset sauce with two over easy eggs on top with a cup of bean soup
Willis @ June 26th, 2009 at 2:17 pm

Blue Mesa, all you can drink mimosas and yummy brunch buffet
Wes Mantooth @ June 26th, 2009 at 2:20 pm

Call me WT, but a Wendy’s double with cheese and everything on it usually does me right by the time I’m able to think about ingesting anything on the day after.
Perry @ June 26th, 2009 at 2:22 pm

Los Lupes Menudo,chips and salsa and Corona w/ lime.
whoknew @ June 26th, 2009 at 2:47 pm

Many Options:

Migas at Flying Fish (my new favorite migas!)
Twisted Root Cheeseburger with jalapenos and a root beer
Bean Soup and Fajitas at Casa Navarro
Chilequlies at Cafe Brazil with extra sauza
Robin @ June 26th, 2009 at 2:51 pm

Umm…be serious. All you really want is taquito from Whataburger because otherwise you have to shower. If we’re showering, take me Boudreax’s for big bowl of jambalaya and a bloody mary.
KellyK @ June 26th, 2009 at 2:51 pm

@ Wes I can beat your WT and call myself PWT because I always get the Whataburger chicken strips extra gravy with a side of hashbrowns and a large diet coke. But that was at 3 in the morning.

But Coquitas (sp?) was the BEST handover food!
Melissa @ June 26th, 2009 at 2:55 pm

Quarter Pounder, Fries, Diet Coke
pinktoes @ June 26th, 2009 at 3:11 pm

Meridian Room is what I usually crave….jalepeno soup…. Mmm.
Todd Johnson @ June 26th, 2009 at 3:21 pm

@KellyK: Cuquitas gets a heck yeah! Love the liver and onions. (I know, I know — not traditional hangover food. But still greasy goodness.)

@whoknew: Flying Fish has migas? Really? Do you get hushpuppies with that?
Nigel Tufnel @ June 26th, 2009 at 3:28 pm

Waffle House for scattered, smothered, and covered hashbrowns.
whoknew @ June 26th, 2009 at 3:46 pm

Flying Fish started having a full breakfast menu when metro diner closed… I think they offer it 7 days a week. To all migas lovers- theirs are the real deal!
whoknew @ June 26th, 2009 at 3:52 pm

Is there another Cuquitas that is still open? The Henderson location was one of our favs until it closed.
G. Bertram @ June 26th, 2009 at 3:57 pm

CAfe Brazil is ALWAYS a safe bet – I LOVE the chorizo crepes for a hangover cure. And the Migas at Norma’s are belt-bucklin as well. Blue Mesa brunch is always good, and I just found a new place, Maximo, that has a buffet that will settle the shakes real quick!
vivakatina @ June 26th, 2009 at 3:58 pm

The John Wayne at Gold Rush Cafe.
luniz @ June 26th, 2009 at 4:02 pm

maybe garden cafe.
CoB @ June 26th, 2009 at 4:02 pm

Cuquitas:
8076 Spring Valley, at Coit
13260 Josey Lane, at Valley View – Farmers Branch
Scagnetti @ June 26th, 2009 at 4:17 pm

When I was in college I used to get wicked hammered. My nickname was Puke. I would chug a fifth of So Co, sneak into a frat party, polish off a few people’s empties, some brewskies, some Jell-O shots, do some body shots off myself… Pass out, wake up the next morning, boot, rally, more So Co, head to class.
BradT @ June 26th, 2009 at 4:34 pm

My “go to” hangover cure is the Piccadillo Cubano at La Cubanita
DB @ June 26th, 2009 at 7:45 pm

Any of the mexican breakfast plates, Migas especially, at Alamo City Grille, with the $6 bottomless mimosas of course!
Tartare @ June 26th, 2009 at 8:10 pm

La Calle Dolce Get the Ceviche and the Coctel 7 Mares and the grande margarita on the rocks The Stuffed oysters will also do the trick
Twinwillow @ June 26th, 2009 at 10:00 pm

Thankfully, I never have a “morning after”. I outgrew that immature practice a long time ago.
Hope you all have a designated driver. I’m tired of seeing you morons kill innocent people with your cars.
Remember, you reap what you sow.
Amy B @ June 27th, 2009 at 12:02 am

Best hangover spots: Dim Sum at Kirin court, Fatty Burger & ICed Tea at JG’s or Mexican Food at Mia’s.
S @ June 27th, 2009 at 8:20 am

aaawww Twin, enjoy your soggy cheerios!
foodczar @ June 27th, 2009 at 10:14 am

I second Perry on the menudo at Los Lupes!
Tartare @ June 27th, 2009 at 10:49 am

Hey Twink Why are you reading about hangover cures if you don’t get them, kind of like Mother Teresa reading Hustler.
Then there is this……..
I feel sorry for people who don’t drink. When they wake up in the morning, that’s as good as they’re going to feel all day.

FRANK SINATRA, quoted in The Hangover Survival Guide

Still think a cold Sprite, saltine sleeve and lying on the walk-in floor is the greatest cure
Glenn Campbell @ June 28th, 2009 at 9:44 am

Pho bang.
snootyfoodie @ June 28th, 2009 at 10:08 am

7-11 has the best. King size Reeses peanut butter cup, grab bag of flaming hot cheetos. Big Gulp Dr Pepper.
D @ June 28th, 2009 at 3:14 pm

Cibus at Northpark. Bottomless mimosas and great breakfast. La Duni is right across from it as well if you want another option.
borntorhone @ June 29th, 2009 at 9:50 am

I cannpt believe nobody has mentioned the KILLER ultimate grilled cheese sandwich at Lucky’s. Although almost their entire menu qualifies as hangover cure food!
My second choice would be Gloria’s shrimp cocktail.
Don @ June 29th, 2009 at 10:17 am

@ Twinwillow – Don’t think anyone on here is advocating drinking and driving. Only drinking and eating. Simmer down. Take a nap.
DallasGirl @ June 29th, 2009 at 10:32 am

Twinwillow- why exactly are you even reading this article? Thanks for making me laugh. But down to business, if you all haven’t tried the Breakfast Burger at TABC in Uptown, do yourself a big huge favor. Amazing!!!!
