"Cooked Meat" by Eric Hauri

2 carbonated alcoholic beverages (bottles not cans)

1 grill (preferably >50,000 BTU)

Prodigious quantity of meat (your choice)

Open first alcoholic beverage.  Preheat grill to 700°C while drinking first beverage; sprinkle

some beverage on grill lid, if it steams off instantly, grill is ready.  Consume remainder of

first beverage.

Reduce heat to "High", place prodigious quantity of meat on grill.  Sear meat for 3 minutes while opening second beverage.  Flip meat and sear the other side 3 minutes.  Reduce heat to "Low", close lid and consume 3/4 of beverage while the meat cooks (keep fire extinguisher handy if grilling prodigious sausage...).  Turn semi-frequently.  Just before meat is done, baste

meat with remaining 1/4 of beverage.

Turn grill off, remove meat from grill, scrape off any black char, serve and enjoy!

**Editor’s Note: I would recommend having AT LEAST 3-4 carbonated alcoholic beverages on hand for this, what will all the pouring on grills and stuff. This meal is best prepared before attending staff meetings, rather than before using Ionprobe. For Lunch Club, you will need to borrow a grill from BBR.**
