11-22-63 The Menu

The Fifth Meeting of the Astoria Book and Supper Club will take place on the night of Saturday, November 17th at 7:30PM.  The book will be Steven King's 11-22-63, the story of a present day man who travels back in time to stop Kennedy's assassination.  This book combines rich historical detail with that fantastical element that Steven King does so well to create a great suspenseful read.  I particularly enjoyed his descriptions of foods from the 50s and 60s.  From the nostalgic types of food to the fresh, unprocessed pre-mass produced ingredients,  I knew that I wanted to cook this book when reading it.  So, here's the menu:

To Start:

"Lobster Pickin's"
Battered chunks of lobster tail served with a spicy dipping sauce and a side of coleslaw

Entree:

"Pronghorn Special"
A double cheeseburger with cheddar cheese, BBQ sauce, bacon and fried onions
A side of Mesquite Fries and a Rodeo Thick Shake

Dessert:

Root Beer and Pound Cake Float

So you may have noticed the menu only has three courses, but the portions will be a lot larger, and you WILL NOT walk away hungry.  I'm going to make this BYOB, and beer will most likely be the best pairing for this meal, but if you would rather drink wine, by all means drink wine! Dinner will be $35 per person.
Let me know if you're interested in attending, forward this to anyone you think may be interested in attending, and get reading!
