I am quite impressed with how Tom has brought back the oven and stepped up the grill to even higher levels than before. When Tom first approached me about taking another shot at the oven, I have to say that I was skeptical. The oven was abandoned in 2005 (MTKMF IX) because of construction concerns and the 2004 oven cracking in heat. It must be noted that the cooking effect of both ovens was phenomenal. However the trade off of building an oven just wasn’t worth it. Now however we are clearly entering into a whole other level.

I now once again take you down memory lane to the construction of the Original Beach oven.

You need really big calf muscles to do this. Don’t try this at home.

Things are not always well in MeatFest land. The founding members of this fine institution don’t always agree, especially one founder in particular. Thomas Cortese is back with us for this one explaining the ongoing fued and why he wants “women dancing in cages” at MeatFest.

Before he was the coolest man in the universe, your friend and mine, Damien Cortese made the decision that he would take MeatFest in a new direction. The result is debatable, some may say that the new direction is the result of groups like the PLM being formed. Either way the start of how it all happend is highly entertaining. I bring you back to a time not to long ago. The year is 2003 and what you will see is the start of the Damien Cortese era of MeatFest. The question I ask — is the end near?

Thanks to all of you for your 2008 MTKMF contribution. We like to think that we have come a long way with our little party and look forward to sharing with you where your contribution will be going.

It wasn’t always so easy though…2004 will be remembered as the year that credit allowed MeatFest to begin maturing into what it is today. Paying off that credit is what will be remembered as the reason we switched to the contribution system.
