Just how crazy in love are you with your significant other? By that same token, how about the music of Beyoncé or Jay Z? If the answer to both is a big, resounding "very," you may want to consider booking a quick trip to New York this Valentine's Day for a romantic, Bey-and-Jay-themed dinner.
Brooklyn restaurant Brucie recently unveiled a pun-heavy take on their Italian menu, with a three-course meal containing several in-jokes pertaining to the pop music world's biggest power couple.
Beyoncé gets toasted with menu items like "I Am Pasta Fierce," saluting her I Am Sasha Fierce album with its jalapeño pappardelle, puttanesca and gold leaf, while the "Blow"-referencing "Pink Is the Flavor" is a grapefruit and seafood plate, and the veal option is simply dubbed "Breastiny's Child." Jay Z is honoured with the fishy "Reasonable Trout" and the "Oysters Rocafella."
Together, they're tributed with a short rib plate called "Drunk in Love," after their duet off Bey's self-titled LP, and the song is additionally saluted with a "Surf Board" plate comprising bone marrow, root vegetables and "bone broth bathtub." If that's too meaty, you could opt for "22 Days Vegan," a non-meat dish inspired by the pair's December dip into veganism.
