Welcome to episode 39 of the BE LOCAL PODCAST! When I first heard about the "Red Meat Lovers Club," I immediately asked when do they meat (get it meet) ok but also can I join. We have Evan Darnell on with us to tell us how they started, how you can join and how are they giving back to locals.
In 1994, Evan Darnell, AKA “The Secretary of Steak,” was dining in the main hall of Tulane University and saw a sign on the dining room table that said “S.A.V.E.”: Students Advocating Vegetarian Eating. He knew there needed to be an opposing club. He later formed Red Meat Lover’s Club. The Red Meat Lovers Club held Monthly “meatings” which were hosted at various local bars and the Pike fraternity house. Upon Evan’s graduation, the membership reached 300 members. After moving to Florida in August 2017, Evan Awakened his beloved club and re-established The Red Meat Lover’s Club. Now, not much has changed except we can create more significant, more dynamic events with a dynamic core of “Steaksmen” whom love to feast on the glorious beast.
The R.M.L.C. is based out of sunny South Florida with its eye on establishing chapters where groups of “Steaksmen” have a thirst for old brown spirts, a yearning for the glorious beast, and they want to develop strong personal and business bonds with each other.
