Conflict Resolution
Introducing Your Anti-Resolutions
It’s like clockwork. Almost like Groundhog Day. At the end of each year, you (okay, we) overindulge, only to pay the price with short-lived resolutions come the new year. Herewith, the indulgences to make it all worthwhile...
BAD TO THE BONE
Umami Burger’s Bone Marrow Burger
The fact that this is an off-menu, secret burger should be your first, and only, necessary clue hinting at
its decadence. Take a burger, top it with beer-battered tempura bone marrow with port-onion marmalade, and
that’s how you close down a year.

HOPS ON, HOPS OFF
Hops Salt French Fries
So yeah, french fries aren’t that indulgent these days. But if you’re in a beer-obsessed bar and you so
happen to find fries that are seasoned with a concoction of pulverized salt and hops, well, you’d be crazy
not to order them. How many rounds is up to you.

FLIP TOP
White Truffle Madeira Flip
It’s hard to believe that one drink could knock at least three resolutions out of the park. But after a
few rounds of this $35 Madeira, maple syrup, egg and truffle cocktail, you’ll kick saving money, staying
fit and maintaining sobriety to the curb. Believe it.

BEAST OF BURDEN
Whole Beast Dinner at Bluestem
Essentially, you and five friends will pick a whole beast—hog, lamb or goat—and gracefully devour it in
three different ways (paired with three different wines). Then, take some of the animal home in the form of
housemade charcuterie. And while you’re at it, throw any semblance of moderation out the door.

RIGHT ON TRACK
Tearing Up the Track at Infineon
Next year, you’ll dutifully stay within a reasonable range of the speed limit. Except this once: when you
slip behind the wheel of a Formula 3 race car that’ll easily hit triple-digit speeds and corner at up to
three G’s. If you break the sound barrier, you might consider easing off the gas...
