This Year, Have a Beyonce-Themed VD!

Screengrab via globalgrind.com

Back in my day, the ultimate musical power couple was Marc Anthony and J-Lo; two performers, both with massive pop appeal, writing songs and kinda going on tour together, one gay, the other not very good. Sadly, their marriage had some differences and that arrangement has since gone the way of the dodo.

These days, that triumphant musical power couple is BY FAR Jay-Z and Beyonce. "Bonnie and Clyde" and "Drunk in Love" and making Blue Ivy and owning the Nets and then Robinson Cano and ethical Barney's clothing and dropping albums on us like a NINJABOMB and Brooklyn, son. That's the power of love. Shit...Forbes even says so because FORBES LIKES MONEY.

They just SCREAM love, don't they?

That’s why, for Valentine's Day, Cobble Hill's Brucie will be offering a Beyonce-themed VD menu. Since the holiday's all about love and shit, they skipped over Jay-Z because, well...he's not exactly wearing the talent pants in the relationship these days. Also, past misogynistic lyrics, I suppose.

In short, for VD 2014, you and your special someone can enjoy campily-named dishes like the "Jay-Ziti" ($19) and the "22 Days Vegan" ($12). Delight to puns (and possibly delight to dishes) such as the "Reasonable Trout" ($28) and the "Breastiny’s Child" ($29). You even get to eat "Blue Ivy" ($16), but you should probably start with some "Bread and AncHOVi butter" ($3).

The full menu is on their site, so you can revel in how far we've come as a society of punmakers, and discover what all the Beyonce puns translate to as far as foodstuffs go.

As for me, I asked my lady friend if she wanted to have a Beyonce-themed VD this year. She gave me a look.

We've decided to go with a Brooklyn restaurant with a less punny menu.
