Beefsteak tradition revived

Durham's Bull City Burger and Brewery is reviving the old New York beefsteak tradition with its Beefsteak Octoberfest.

Owner Seth Gross calls the event "a meat eater's and beer lover's gastronomic festival." It will be from 4 p.m. to midnight Sept. 17. There will be two seatings; one at 4 p.m. and another at 6:30 p.m. The restaurant will not serve burgers on this night, and there will be no vegetarian options.

The menu includes an assortment of beef, lamb, pork, offal and sausage provided by Farmhand Foods, which specializes in locally raised meat. The $45 ticket also gets you two beers and unlimited fries, bread, celery and radishes.

Tickets cost $45 for adults and $20 for a child. Tickets are limited and only available online at http://bullcityburger andbrewery.com . The event will benefit Habitat for Humanity of Durham.
