Que For the Choir: The Belated Menu

February 25th's Que For the Choir - and I may be biased here - was an excellent first public event for Man B Que. We (note: making no show of editorial independence or impartiality) ended up serving food to well over 100 ladies and gents of both vegetarian and meat-loving dispositions. And considering the fact that our shirts pointedly demonstrate the most delicious parts of the cow, the vegetarians were both extremely nice and incredibly trusting of our veggie/vegan options. Live and let live, I reckon.

Anyhow, this post is intended to set correct something that's been bugging me. I intended to design and laminate a menu for the gentlefolk of the event, but week-of preparations ended up getting the best of me. People ended up having to hear descriptions of the dishes from our lovely lady severs - the horror!

So if you attended the event and wondered what it is that was so delicious, then the answer is likely located below.

Meatless Options



My Sister's Vegan Chili (The Godfather) - Chopped peppers (bell, banana, jalapeno), red onion, portobello mushrooms, chili beans, and a little bit of love. Plant love, that is. Actual interpersonal love is not vegan.

Portobello Burgers (Ricky Thumbs) - Seasoned portobellos on a bun with whatever meatless toppings your too-healthy heart desires.



Grilled Veggie Salad (Joey Grease) - Asparagus, peppers, radishes, and whatever else we could find fresh, grilled and tossed with a homemade vinaigrette by Man B Que's own lovable Italian stereotype.

The Main Event

The Gordon Mays Gouda Haze Burger (The Godfather) - A cheese and butter-filled patty seared over charcoal and dropped onto a kaiser roll, because it will give you the strength to go out and punch the Kaiser. Too bad WWI ended a couple generations ago.

Four Funerals and a Wedding (Joey Grease) - Four kinds of bacon wrapped around a scallop. You will envy the scallop.

Death Toll Habanero Wings (Death Toll Scholl) - Real chicken wings (boneless wings are for housewives at Chili's) slathered in butter, cayenne, hot sauce, and real habaneros.

Babe/Bambi Crossover Burgers (JB Mays) - Come to terms with your cinematic childhood traumas in one delicious bite. A 50/50 mix of venison and pork combined with mushrooms, apples, dijon and worcestershire. Served on a King's Hawaiian roll with chopped raw onions and aged Vermont cheddar. (All-venison edition available for those keeping Kosher. We dig.)

The Original Linus Burger (Ricky Thumbs) - The centerpiece of Man B Que's vast menu, a fresh beef patty artfully built around a foundation of cheese. Served in two varieties - Blue cheese, basil cream reduction and fresh oregano; and triple-cheddar and bacon.



Vienna Beef Chicago-style Dog - From our friends and sponsors at VB comes a grilled all-beef frank with the entire murderer's row of fixings. No, you brain-dead philistine, there is no damn ketchup!
