Sorry girls, but this home party is not for you. You won’t find Pampered Chef or Tupperware here. Or any fancy candles or jewelry or makeup for that matter.
It’s a Man Cave MEATing, and it’s just for the guys.
Man Cave offers grilling tools and accessories, premium meats, wood chips and planks, grilling spices, rubs, marinades and even apparel. Plus, men will find stuff for every man’s personal cave, including poker products and home bar accessories.
Nick Beste, 22, of Minnesota, and Kevin Carlow, 24, of Wisconsin, started Man Cave last year. Nick says, “It’s a good excuse to hang out with the guys, drink a few beers, eat some
brats and most importantly, learn some new techniques about grilling.”One recent Sunday evening, Jim Mossey, 66, of Town and Country, hosted a party, his grill smokin’, chips and nuts ready for snacking, brats stacked in boxes and grilling products lined on outdoor tables.
Bill Maender, 63, a neighbor, said before the party, “This Man Cave concept sounds interesting. I’m looking forward to a good barbecue demonstration.” Roger Klumb, who says he’s “older than dirt,” from Wildwood, couldn’t wait to see a men’s version of a Tupperware party. “I’m looking for the next, best thing when it comes to barbecue.”
The MEATing began with beer tops popping and men talking up their favorite grilling rubs and recipes. Then, Jim began grilling brats, in four different flavors. As the brats sizzled on the grill, the guys sampled beef snack sticks in a variety of flavors, including teriyaki, jalapeño and cheese, and honey BBQ.
“This is the best feature of a Man Cave MEATing,” says creator Nick. “Besides viewing our product line, you eat hearty at the party.”
