Day 33: Fall Cupcake and Beertini

For this week's Tasty Tuesday, let's spotlight two of my favorite restaurants, both of which have updated menus for fall: Avenue Eats and Morgantown Brewing Company!


Oooh! Look at all that sugary and beer-filled goodness!

First up, Avenue Eats! This wonderful eatery in Wheeling, West Virginia hasn't been around too long, having opened in 2012, but Avenue Eats has already been featured in national magazines and won awards for its terrific food. At least once a week, you can find me and Bill hanging out there, enjoying the awesome burgers and cupcakes as well as pestering the fantastic staff. Yesterday, after dinner (breakfast burgers... yum), we had--what else?--the pumpkin cupcake! So naturally, that very festive dessert made the cut for this week's 60 Days of Halloween!


All the cupcakes come from Avenue Eats' sister restaurant, Whisk!


So pretty you almost don't want to eat it. Almost.

Next up, Morgantown Brewing Company! This longtime mainstay of the Morgantown, West Virginia, culinary scene is both a restaurant and, as the name suggests, a brewery. The beers are sold on tap all over the region, and rightfully so: Morgantown Brewing Company brews some seriously topnotch beers. Over the weekend, after another awesome dinner there, Bill and I had our growler filled with the very fabulous pumpkin ale, and then used this recipe to make beertinis! (Please note that these photos were taken last night; 60 Days of Halloween might be stressful at times, but we aren't yet drinking by one in the afternoon each day. Not YET.)


Ingredients shot for our beertinis. Yum!


Pour those beertinis, little blogger! Pour!


A parting shot of today's delicious treats! If you're ever in the
West Virginia area, I recommend both these super cool restaurants!
They won't disappoint!

So that's our blog today! Head on back here tomorrow for more Halloween goodies!
