Theatrical Turkeys
Posted by Moose on February 4th, 2010. Filed under: Uncategorized.So I was probably scraping bloggity rock bottom the other day by describing my lunch, but I have to risk compounding that faux pas by talking more about these Fancy Turkey Sausage People. Karen left a comment requesting the origins of the sausages and I dutifully trotted over to the fridge to find out. (Names tend to escape me, even names of people I’ve known for years. Stick around as my friend long enough and you’ll eventually find yourself being called Ed or by the name of your dog. Sorry about that.) The label wasn’t terribly forthcoming, it just said SF Grill. Since there are a lot of grills in SF – and expecting to find this one seemed akin hurling a pebble out of an turbo jet and hoping to hit a turtle (sorry, turtle) – I checked out the web site, where it said, I kid you not:
A Culinary Circus Troupe offering an Eclectic, Avante-Garde, Grass-Roots, Outdoor URBAN Fine-dining Experience.
HA HA HA HA! Isn’t that the best thing you’ve ever read? Culinary Circus Troupe! Eclectic, avante-garde meat! Sausage that’s so urban the urban needs to be CAPITALIZED. I’m grinning like a loon and not just because the sausage is so darn tasty and I still have one left. (But no more fancy rolls because I got hungry at 11 p.m. last night.) Suffice it to say, my day has been made. Especially since they claim their full web site is coming soon and OH MY STARS, HOW CAN THEY POSSIBLY IMPROVE IT?
How convenient. That Circus Troupe bit offers some semblance of a segue. Therefore. Are there any Bay Area-dwelling theater lovers out there? I’m doing a lot of theater blogging & expounding these days, which means hello, free tickets! (Although I literally just – JUST THIS VERY SECOND – got an email cutting me back from a few posts a week to one, so…fewer tickets. C’est la vie.) Anyway, I’m always looking for partners in (very sedate, cultured) crime to come with me. Leave a comment, if you are so inclined.

That’s freakin’ hilarious! If that’s typical of their wording style, they should TOTALLY hire you to write copy for their web site and products!

I totally want Partners In Cultured Crime to be a yogurt brand.

Poor Moose! All of your friends are Philistines like me! But at least if you want to eat avant garde sausage, you know who to call.
Tis moi.

Sausage (and theater lover) here. Thank you for posting their website. I don’t know how they can possibly improve that tagline. Guess I now have an excuse to make a trip into the city.

Hey, honestly, if people REALLY didn’t care what you had for lunch, food blogs wouldn’t exist (or thrive) as they do.

I’ll always be happy to talk to you about sausage. In fact, D. is picking up our pork! share! this weekend while I’m freezing my patootie off in the snow. You’ll have to come over for sausages and bacon and pork chops from our acorn-fed, fairy-dust-sprinkled, raised-seaside-in-the-most-beautiful-place-in-the-world pig soon. (It MUST be all those things, since I just paid $7+ a pound for bacon, right?)

Avant Garde Meat scares me.

“Outstanding turkey burgers, savory sausages, and spicy wild salmon burgers” – and let’s not forget the trained seals and the pink poodles!

Oh do get some free tix on the East Coast and take your adoring fans out here, would you? Also? Partners in Cultured Crime would make for a great cover band name.
