Burgers with your Beethoven?
mainFrom today’s desperate PR intake:
The inaugural “Three Bs” Fest will feature a cook-off with two competing burger recipes, a tasting of whiskeys, and a performance of Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony by the String Orchestra of Brooklyn
The competitors for the coveted Golden Spatula will be Harlem Public and Madcap Cafe, with their burger recipes rated by the audience in real-time via the Burger Club website
Whiskeys will be provided by Angel’s Envy, Blackened American Whiskey, Five & 20, NY Distilling Co, Van Brunt Stillhouse, Widow Jane, and more
The Festival kicks off the second season of The Angel’s Share, the acclaimed opera and classical music concert series that takes place in the Green-Wood Catacombs, curated by Andrew Ousley.

The first-ever Burgers, Bourbon & Beethoven Festival at Green-Wood Cemetery, May 25, 2019, from 7-10PM. The event will feature competing burger recipes that will be sampled and rated by the audience, a whiskey tasting of boutique bourbons alongside craft cocktails, and a performance of Beethoven’s immortal Fifth Symphony by the String Orchestra of Brooklyn, conducted by Eli Spindel.
If by “desperate” you mean “literally the greatest thing ever conceived”…
I like the way you think.
I vote for whichever one has the most bacon… ♥♥♥
Having these two (three of you include the Bourbon) art forms come together is a culmination of pleasure, a way to die happy…and conveniently placed in a cemetery if you combust with enthusiasm.
I think good ol’ Ludwig would have wanted it that way…
Will definitely not attend until they offer free lap dances with Beethoven 5!
not so much different from a “Jazz & Lasagna” festival… not a surprise
Speaking personally, I prefer my Beethoven with bratwursts …
But the only thing disappointing about this festival is that Beethoven’s 5th is going to be performed by a string orchestra. That’s like taking the alcohol out of the beer.
It’ll be full orchestra! They’re normally a string ensemble but they’ll bulk up for this… No Bucklers or O’Douls here…
The only disappointment I’d find with this awesome combination is, where’s Brooklyn Brewing to offer some fine hops to go with the burgers?
Utter hipster garbage
Bless your heart. Time for your Metamucil, pops.

Bourbon? Good ol’ Ludwig would surely prefer a Napoleon Brandy.
It’s so 21st century isn’t it; narcissism and careless ephemera written all over it.
Yes, enjoying music, eating and drinking….So self centered. Do untwist your undies.
I bet you’re really fun at parties.
Gorblimey, I wish I could be there.
On May 25 – or thereabouts – I’ll definitely be having a cheeseburger and a Manhattan while listening to the Beeth 5 at home (Furtwangler’s wild rendition taped at his 1947 return concert with the BPO would be a good choice).
Bravo and double bravo to all the instigators of this marvelous event!
