Top Toolbag's Table Manners

Top Toolbag's Table Manners

Ask the MB -- A.1. Steak Sauce
Q: I know you guys are here to advise us on how to look the part. That said, my roommate took your advice to heart about the Axe (female remover), thanks a ton, but he was out with us on a nice dinner out with some of the local secretaries, and when the steaks came, he drowned the beef in A.1. I've been a fan of A.1. at many a backyard BBQ, but how un-magnificent is it to dowse a $50 steak in public with that stuff?

A: Son, at this point you need to consider your roommate solely as a piece of meat: he's only good for paying the rent. Quick find some new people to hang out with before your social standing is completely eroded.

(Stay tuned for forthcoming Magnificent Bastard Dining Guide.)
