Memphis Meat Club is a Total Sausage Fest

Memphis Meat Club is a Total Sausage Fest

Last night, I ate things that I can't un-eat.

My boss, Bob, invited me to be the first-ever female guest of the Memphis Meat Club, a monthly celebration of all things meaty.

They've eaten hamburgers with personal pizzas used as buns, they've tried the Double Down, and one brave member attempted the "Fan's Perfect Game" at AutoZone Park - nine beers and nine hot dogs in nine innings.

Meat Club July Meeting

Last night, the menu was impressive. There were bacon wrapped chicken wings, fajitas stuffed with pork and black beans, "Man Sushi" (a spring roll wrapper filled with lettuce, cheese, bacon and tater tots), jambalaya sandwiches, barbecue balls and amazingly tasty homemade bacon maple ice cream.

While I've never seen jambalaya in sandwich format, I was pretty smitten with the barbecue balls. Meat Club member Kevin had taken cubes of pepper jack cheese and wrapped them in pulled pork from Central Barbecue, wrapped them in bacon, rolled them in locally-made Brimm's barbecue chips and deep fried them. While they were delicious, I'm pretty sure they're to blame for my late-evening bout of nausea.

Here's Thomas (last night's host) and I reviewing the menu:

All of it was washed down with the Meat Club's official drink, the McNuggetini. It's a chocolate milk shake mixed with vanilla vodka, served in a martini glass with a barbecue sauce rim and garnished with a McNugget. It was sort of like a creamier version of the Midtown Overlay.

McNuggetini at Meat Club

Meat Club was started two years ago by seven guys who needed something to do while banished from their houses for their wives and girfriends' monthly book club. Every month, they rotate hosting duties or take a meat-related field trip. Some of the members have special Meat Club outfits (Bob had on a pig t-shirt and his "Medium Rare" pink jacket with handmade steak patch).

If you'd like to follow the Memphis Meat Club, they have a website where they post monthly videos and brag about their more impressive gastronomical accomplishments.

Sounds like my kind of club. Maybe we should start "The Memphis Girl's Meat Club"? :-)

They're might be misconceptions about the Girls Meat Club. Too many jokes to be made. I've not had red meat for half a year but wld totally be down for a once-a-month pigout. And I must say that I'm very impressed by the thought put in the McNuggetini!!!t

I have to let some of my ranching & farmer friends know about this! They may be a bit offended the McNugget gets a place but otherwise I'm better they will love it! I love the idea of a girl's club... would we avoid the issue mentioned if we proclaimed it the Carnivorous Chicks Club?

I think Thomas and Bob need their own cooking show.

This is hysterical! Especially the "Man Sushi." I'm sure this group feels so much more MANLY after a night of eating all this man food!
