"I can't possibly make all 8 nights, can I still participate in Meat Week?"
Everyone is welcome to attend all 8 nights, but no one is expected to! The intent is for the Captain & First Mate to show up every night, in hopes that at least one night will be convenient for all who are interested, and that no one will have to meat in solitude.
"How come you don't include Mongolian BBQ, Thai BBQ, or steak houses?"
We started with traditional, southern BBQ because that's what made us meat lovers to begin with. Everyone's welcome to celebrate as they see fit. Maybe we'll even extend our boundaries if we exhaust our city's resources...
"I'm a vegetarian, I feel left out."
More than half the crew who sailed the maiden voyage of meat were herbivores. We even have two captains who don't eat red meat. Many vegetarians come for the camaraderie, but stay for the sides. Just make sure the baked beans don't have pork in them (they probably will) or use french fries as a sauce vehicle!
"I wish I lived in a town where Meat Week was celebrated..."
Start your own chapter! Just check out our Beginner's Guide, and you're well on your way to becoming a Captain. Gathering a crew may take some time, but once people see your commitment to meat, they'll be inspired, trust us. That's what Hype Week is for.
"How do I put pictures of my Meat Week chapter on internets?"
First, find your city from the main menu. Once you're on your city's page, you'll see a link to the gallery. From there you can upload pictures. Make sure to include as many details as possible to keep things organized.
