Hangover Food

The Best Hangover Food The jury’s still out on hair of the dog—could it alleviate a hangover better than Aspirin and coconut water? But only the most nauseous of recovering revelers would pass up a killer breakfast sandwich, piles of pancakes or expert pizza. Really, anything rich or carby will often do. Before you raid the cabinets for chips or order one of everything off of your local Chinese takeout menu, take a look at these recipes. Even better, plan ahead for big nights by stocking up on bacon, eggs, cheese, biscuits and other ingredients for cobbling together these ultimate hangover dishes. From satisfyingly filling breakfast burritos to cheesy egg sandwiches and DIY fried rice, these foods will surely “cure” your hangover pangs and get you back to feeling like yourself again.

Bacon Fried Rice with Avocado and Fried Eggs

Chef Ed Kenney uses both white and brown rices in this terrific bacon-studded dish that he serves at his casual Honolulu spot, Kaimuki Superette. “In Hawaii, we call it hapa rice; it’s more interesting and flavorful than plain white rice,” he says. “In Hawaiian, hapa means ‘partial’ and is often used as a term of endearment to describe people of mixed ethnic backgrounds.”

Grilled Cheese-and-Bacon Sandwiches with Cheese Curds

Cheese curds are small chunks of just-made cheese that haven't been pressed into a shape. They're milky and delicious in a grilled cheese sandwich like this one, which is spread with Joe Beef's signature "chicken glace mayo," made at the restaurant with chicken stock that Morin says has been "reduced to oblivion." He suggests substituting beef bouillon to replicate his uniquely savory mayonnaise.

Bacon, Tomato and Cheddar Breakfast Bake with Eggs

This breakfast casserole topped with runny eggs by F&W's Grace Parisi develops a terrific texture as it cooks slowly in a glass dish (which makes it easy to see when the bottom is perfectly browned). As one F&W editor remarked on tasting it, "I worship the crisp bottom and the chewy, moist bread."
