Description: This is not a cook book. Do not try this at home. There are many ways to cook a burger, to mix a drink, to serve some fries. Yianni Papoutsis and Scott Collins, the men behind MeatLiquor, MeatEasy, and several other meaty ventures, share their unique experiences on the wildest frontiers of burger culture in this their first (and perhaps only) book, The Meat Liquor Chronicles. 'My name is Legion, for we are Many', was the famous response delivered to Jesus by a not-so-famous demon. From New Cross to Marylebone to their newest venture in Hoxton Market, Yianni and Scott have blazed a demonic trail through the burger world over the past three years bringing followers and naysayers in their wake. Starting out with the adventures had in the original Meatwagon, back in 2009, The Meat Liquor Chronicles lays disrespectful waste to the accepted notion of what a cook book associated with a famous restaurant can and might be. Yes, there are recipes; and yes you can faithfully learn how to reproduce the infamous Meat Liquor 'Grog'. But this is a book with a story. And pictures. With a mission to offend. And Yianni and Scott have welcomed DBC Pierre in-house to help them reconstruct the improbable, implausible and downright nasty things that have happened to them on their journey from South London reprobates to haute cuisine enfant terribles. Lavishly illustrated and designed in red and black to chime with the graffitied look of the restaurant, The Meat Liquor Chronicles is perhaps The Unholy Cow of all burger literature"--Publisher's description.
