Getting Jazzy with our Summer Rig

20130905_070228If you’ve been out and about with us the past month or so, then you’ve seen our very cool (or is it hot) Summer BBQ Rig that has been popping up at several of the city’s breweries and street fairs. A lot of regulars to Jimmy’s No. 43 may not realize that we cater large-scale events (and smaller ones, too—anywhere from 100 to 3,000 people). Coming up this weekend, for example, we’ll be hanging out with some of the sharpest dressed island revelers when we return to Governors Island for a “Taste of the 20s” Jazz Age Lawn Party, an outdoor celebration of the Jazz Age and its living legacy. We designed a killer menu perfect for outdoor dining that includes many items that can be served at your block party, wedding, or corporate event. Among our favorite food offerings:

  • *1920s-style Beefsteak—Grilled sirloin steak on whole grain baguette with parsley sauce and creamy horseradish
  • *Grilled Squab on Toast—Cornish hen, rosemary marinade on old fashioned garlic toast
  • *Mexican Corn—Hot popped-corn with choice of butter and sea salt
    or parmesan and truffle oil
  • *Brasserie-style grilling station—Burgers and Brats
  • *Luau BBQ—Hawaiian-style pork or dark meat chicken served with a side of Asian slaw
  • *and a Raw Bar—oysters, clams and shrimp cocktail

We can also roast whole pigs, serve up our classic pulled pork tacos, smoke meats and barbecue chickens.

Not heading to Governors Island this weekend? Well, you can catch us at other locations around the city:

  • *June 21st at Block & Brew, Bed-Vyne Brew’s First Anniversary party in Bed Stuy
  • *July 5th at Singlecut for another round of their very cool Beer-B-Q (come to Astoria!)
  • *August 8th in Bridgehampton for Edible East End’s Food Truck Derby (come to Long Island!)
  • *August 16th-17th we’ll return to Governors Island for round 2 of Jazz Age
  • *and finally, on September 5th it’s the Sixth Annual Pig Island

And for those who prefer to hang in the city, we’ll have plenty of great beer and food from our craft beer kitchen all weekend long, including a new menu with fresh meats and produce we just bought from our favorite vendors at Union Square Greenmarket. Whether outdoors or in, we’ve got some of the best food offerings for foodies and beer lovers alike.
