BARBECUE
Alice and well-loved foodreporter guest correspondent Schoboats hosted a barbecue as a sponsors' preview of this summer's barbecue season which also came luckily close to Schoboats's birthday. And everyone else's birthday. The weather was awesome, even when it got brisk, the air was remarkably clear, and consequently the view was in great shape.

The early courses
Chips with house guacamole
Carrots
Vault Zero
Pêche lambic
Kielbasa
A bunch of Ommegang Witte continued through dinner

Dinner
More Ommegang Witte
A Luther burger - my fellow reporters had not the stomach or religious ability to enjoy this, but I hopped on the recent trend of serving burgers in the style of Luther Vandross and the minor league Grizzlies - which is to say, served with a grilled Krispy Kreme in place of a bun.

It was incredibly delicious.

I recommend it highly.

Since the recent craze started among young people, I have been positively spoiling for the first of the Schoboats-Alice barbecues to try this wonderful plan.

Please give it a shot, it's terrific.

Two Coca-Cola Blāk - Let's not call this good, but I had two.

POST-PRANDIAL

Two Schlitz
