Damn, does this dude know how to meat-party. NYC's Beauty & Essex just held a dinner for which chef Chris Santos created five meaty courses using nothing but a grill, Jager, and his wits. And in case you're an enthusiast of either grilling and boozing, we secured all five of his recipes -- so read forth with the knowledge that Jager BBQ sauce, Jager ribs, Jager burgers, and Jager tacos are all now things in your arsenal, and are all significantly better than penne a la Popov.
