Today, in honor of one sixtyblue chef Michael McDonald’s new ‘Dinner with Michael’ tasting menu, Daily Candy has written a song:
Mike McDonald cooks for you, E-I-E-I-O,
New chef at One Sixtyblue, E-I-E-I-O,
Taught by Trotter, he got game, E-I-E-I-O,
And a brand new claim to fame, E-I-E-I-O,
It’s a real fine treat, and, boy, do you eat,
Meat, wheat, oh, it’s sweet, no one can compete-pete,
It goes on for two more verses, and ends (if you make it that far) with the punchline “E-I-E-I-whoa.”
Perhaps it says more about me than it does about Daily Candy that I had to give it a full readthrough before I realized that the connection was that Michael McDonald’s last name is, you know, McDonald. But that still doesn’t explain how the second “-pete” in that last line up there fits into the scansion. For the life of me, I can’t wrap my brain around that.
