A kitchen must

I've been expounding a lot lately about the wares at Preservation & Co., but doggone it if it isn't just that good. Jason Poole's signature Original Bloody Mary Mix ($9 for a 32-ounce bottle) is a must for any home bar. Peppery and bold, it's a bloody mary mix that'll knock you down if you aren't careful. However, I prefer to use it in the kitchen for shirred eggs or use it as a sauce for braising chicken. 1717 19th Street, Suite B; www.preservationandco.com.
