\nBeefsteak dinners originated in the early 1900&rsquo\;s in New Jersey and New York and were a time honored tradition around election time. A friend of a politician would throw their friend a Beefsteak dinner &ndash\; a dinner full of meat\, beer and bread &ndash\; and raise money for the campaign. These dinners were rowdy and unsophisticated\; there are no plates\, no napkins and no forks or knives. Men were encouraged to wear their &ldquo\;second best suit because of the inevitably of grease spots&rdquo\; and the events took place on the weekend so the attendees would have time to recover before the work week.
