As the #2 consumer of this blog (hi Mom), this is one of my favorite annual posts: The Masters Dinner Menu. I didn’t even realize that the Masters Dinners was something that happened until I saw a competing blog (Page 2 on ESPN) post about it in 2012. But ever since, I’ve been hooked.
And I really can’t explain why. Something about the mixture of sports, food, and history that just agrees with me. A bunch of former Masters champions all getting together with their Green Jackets the Tuesday night of Masters week to dine on a menu put together by the previous year’s champion. Guys being dudes and chopping it up before the biggest tournament of the year.
Last year’s champion was Dustin Johnson, and the above picture is the menu he put together. Just a straight, 95mph fastball right down the middle dinner. Pigs in a Blanket is a WILDLY underrated appetizer, and something that I wish appeared on more dinner menu’s in Wisconsin. Mix in a little salad so everyone feels like they did something healthy for themselves before housing a top notch steak and finishing it off with a cobbler/pie and some good old fashioned vanilla ice cream. Not pictured: Pre-appetizer lines of coke in the bathroom (KIDDING).
I give this menus a solid 8.1 green jackets out of 10. Very good, but my favorite menu since we started blogging about this every year is still Jordan Spieth’s:
Texas barbecue and a warm chocolate chip cookie?? Time to pop a Pepcid AC and go to town!
PS: For every Major, every season, I put down 100 entertainment points on an outright winner. So far I am 0 for 44 lifetime. Not great! This year’s pick is Jordan Spieth at +1100 because he finally won a tournament last weekend and my brain suffers from a severe case of recency bias.
