News: Red Meat Lover’s Club Presents Battleship, Beef and Bourbon for the Ship

This is a little different news item for me. I’ll be attending this event, and I’d love to meat (not a typo) some readers there. I know my friends  Kevin and Jessica, of CigarProp and I’d Tap That fame, will be there too. Of course, Navy veteran Steve Saka will be there too exercising gluttony, something that is worth seeing. One of my old friends from the cigar Usenet group days served on the New Jersey, too, I’ve seen the ship several times and always wanted to get a closer look, so I’m looking forward to the event. Hunt me down if you’re going! 

 

Red Meat Lover's Club Presents Battleship, Beef and Bourbon for the Ship.

Red Meat Lover’s Club Presents Battleship, Beef and Bourbon for the Ship.

About this event

Steaksman, we turn back that clock 100 years and we will BEEF.

Imagine a night with stations of beef captained by the best chefs in the country for a night of feasting.

Beefsteaks were initially with small groups of people gathering in rustic taverns or dingy cellars where, sitting on crates or stools, they would sing, tell stories, eat steaks, and drink ale with abandon.

This dinner will be on the deck of the Battleship New Jersey. Bigger setting with one purpose…..to create an night that will be spoken about in hushed tones for years to come.

 

UNIFORMS (aprons) WILL BE PROVIDED FOR ALL PATRONS

Dining etiquette will be set aside…. our goal is to over consume.

The night will started with heavy passed apps. Rookies fill up on these tasty treats…..pace yourself please.

(we will allow chopsticks but only one per person for stabbing the meat purposes)

We will then open meat stations created by Top Chef’s Ariane Duarte, underground cult Chef Jarrett Seltzer, Marcelli Formaggi’s Tina MarcelliTyson Ho of Brooklyn’s Arrogant Swine and beyond.

This one will be a epic scene filled with Red Meat Lovers and BEEF and maybe a few cigars.

Red Meat Lover’s Club will set up their signature auction , all profits of auction will be donated to Battleship NJ.

Some menu highlights….(menu subject to change)

Cash bar with proceeds going to the battleship

 

This is the USS New Jersey (BB-62) is the most decorated battleship in Navy history, earning distinction in World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Cold War, and conflicts in the Middle East.

The New Jersey’s history spanned over half the 20th century, from her design in 1938 until 1991. She was launched on the first anniversary of Pearl Harbor, and went on to steam more miles, fight in more battles, and fire more shells than any other battleship in history.

In World War II, the New Jersey led the Pacific Fleet under Admirals Spruance and Halsey and fought in the two largest naval battles in history.

She was reactivated to fight in the Korean War, and again to fight in the Vietnam War, when she was the world’s only operating battleship.

She was reactivated for a third time in the Cold War to halt Soviet expansionism and resolve conflicts in the Middle East.

After fighting fascism, communism, and terrorism, she was decommissioned for the final time in February 1991.

Today the New Jersey continues her service as a living museum and memorial in Camden, New Jersey, just across the Delaware River from Philadelphia where she was built.
