Sneakeater Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 I’m not sure that there are many people, however rich, who would think it’s a good idea to pay tens of thousands of dollars so that they and a date could eat beef from EMP’s catering menu. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I am probably more familiar with beef cattle husbandry than many here as we pass miles and miles of pastured angus and herefords en route to the country several times a month. They are free to roam, graze on green grass and really have only one bad day in their lives. AS OPPOSED TO dairy cattle who are the whores of the animal kingdom, spending their lives pregnant or lactating year round, up to their knees and udders in mud and feces in their cramped corrals. Unless they happen to be some of the elite 1% grazing on verdant hillsides in Sonoma. Sorry for the rant. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wilfrid Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 1 hour ago, Sneakeater said: You could eat beef in a special event room if you booked an event. Sure the event could be just you and a date but you’d be paying a HUGE minimum for that dinner a deux. Okay. So why is the journalism wrong? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sneakeater Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Because he was implying that was something that people were actually doing. It was NOT a way for rich people to avoid the EMP vegan menu. It was inaccurate to suggest it was. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sneakeater Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 I’m not going to violate the rules by noting a parallel to assertions that if you promised to nominate a Black woman to the Supreme Court, then any Black woman you nominate must necessarily be otherwise unqualified.

Sneakeater Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 If Peter Luger’s were to limit availability of their grilled salmon dish to people who book special events, would there be a populist uproar? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sneakeater Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 To me, this is no different than if Made Nice still existed and continued to serve animal proteins after the EMP dining room went vegan. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wilfrid Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 I honestly don’t get it. Maybe it would be very expensive, but precisely you could eat meat there if you were rich. If they were only fulfilling existing contracts I would agree with you. But… Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AaronS Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 I like that it’s tenderloin. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rozrapp Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 The tenderloin pictured in that link was never served in the restaurant. When beef was the main course, it was always a very small slice of ribeye. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
