STEAK. BEER.

Click the photo to see it at full size.

I love this photo. It’s of a “beefsteak” — a kind of banquet where you get all-you-can eat slices of beef tenderloin that you eat with your hands — held by tycoon H.H. Rogers for his pal Mark Twain (Rogers and Twain are the ones standing by the windows). Note that everyone’s wearing an apron — you use them in lieu of napkins.

What would it take to organize such an event here in Accordion City? I’m certain that the ladies and gentlemen of this fair town would enjoy such an event.

  • I'm game!
    There are probably a few chefs/cooks and butchers who would be willing to participate!
    The one problem with the image above is the lack of females. I'm sure we could redo the event and rectify the problem.
    Probably could also sell awesome commemorative aprons to benefit a cause.

  • Nevermind Accordion City - what can we do to start this as a movement in lieu of requisite family gatherings over sad potatoes and dry turkey?

  • We have a club in Australia called the Beer and Beef Club. I belong to the one in Melbourne.
    We eat beef and drink beer. A very similar idea really.
