Well this years FEAST OF MEN was held at the Holiday Inn, in Oneonta New York by one of our own members Paul Lawrence. He is the General Manager at this particular hotel. Why did he want to risk complete humiliation and ridicule I will never know, but we had fun.
To add to the excitement and fun we added three new members, Muga Katoke a friend of Paul’s and now a friend of ours. Also sixteen year old Javaughn “The Giant” Johnson and fifteen year old Taharen “Terrible” Williams, my two nephews. Both of them did very well and I’m proud of them.
Arriving at 3p.m. on Valentines Day we were greeted by our waiter Mike. He set out a nice display of chips and spicy cheese dip prepared special for this F.O.M feast. Along with that we had a cheese, meat and bread appetizer. When everyone was accounted for we sat and gave thanks to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for blessing us to meet again one more year.
Again the main course was a 75oz cut and along with that we had a salad, baked potato and asparagus spears which were the best I’ve ever had. But you know how we do it at the F.O.M meetings, it’s all about the beef! No one had a potato at the meal except one person. Check out the Video and see who complains that they got full off of it! You’ll see there’s a lot of excuses going around.
The service was good and the private session was a joy to be in because it was just us, so who would complain about the noise J ? The meat was good, after seeing the video I would have gotten it cooked a little more, it was prepared medium plus, but it didn’t take away from any thing. Also can’t comment on the rub because I didn’t have much on mine because I had a center cut.
For Dessert we had one of my personal favorites, a brownie sunday, nice presentation I might add, I ordered two! check it out on the slide show on the Home page.
Let’s talk dollars! For two appetizers, salad, two sides, dessert and a main course of 75oz’s Prime Rib Steak per person, $96 dollars isn’t bad. That includes the type.
Be on the lookout Charlotte because the FEAST OF MEN is coming in 2011! God bless.
