From the duo behind the New York Times bestseller Bad Manners: The Official Cookbook come healthy crowd-pleasing recipes to entertain with attitude (previously published as Thug Kitchen Party Grub: For Social Motherf*ckers ). Bad Manners: Party Grub answers the question that they have heard most from their fans: How the hell are you supposed to eat healthy when you hang around with a bunch of assholes who couldn’t care less about what they stuff in their face? The answer: You make a bomb-ass plant-based dish from Bad Manners. Featuring over 100 recipes for every occasion, Party Grub combines exciting, healthy food with easy-to-follow directions and damn entertaining commentary. From appetizers like Deviled Chickpea Bites to main events like Mexican Lasagna, Party Grub is here to make sure you’re equipped with dishes to bring the flavor without a side of fat, calories, and guilt. Also included are cocktail recipes, because sometimes these parties need a pick-me-up of the liquid variety. Bad Manners blew up the Internet back in 2012, when they first began blogging. Their first cookbook was a #1 New York Times bestseller. They are based in Los Angeles, California. Picture this Shit You walk into a party at your friend’s place, the crowd is looking right, the playlist is solid, and then you see the spread. There are some empty bags of greasy, broken chips, cans of grey dip and corn-syrup salsa, and a sweaty pile of Vienna sausages. And drinks? Yeah, there’s room-temperature beer. How the f*ck are you supposed to enjoy yourself when the food and drink situation is saying “meh, whatever”? That shit will not stand anymore. Parties happen way more than you think: birthdays, holidays, graduations, sports shit, block parties, welcome parties, goodbye parties, Mario parties. Whateverthef*ck excuse you need to get together with some friends and family to eat some good food is a party in our book and should be treated like one. Don’t roll up to our place with a single serving bag of pretzels thinking that’s cool. Parties should be about having a good time; not about eating a bunch of depressing garbage that you’re gonna regret tomorrow. Party food usually involves a bunch of prepackaged shit from the store. Which means the nonsense you’re eating when you’re trying to feel good with friends is loaded with trans fats, artificial everything, and a shitload of sodium. And if you’re drinking alcohol on top of all that super-salty food, it’s only gonna dehydrate your ass and drag you down more. A great party spread not only tastes good but is filling enough to keep that party rollin’ all night after lesser snacks would’ve let you down. That’s why we’re here: to keep you from suffering from subpar snacks at your next celebration. Never again. Out on the road and through various tubes on the Internet, we kept hearing from people that one of the hardest things about starting to eat healthy is hanging out with all the careless motherf*ckers/friends who don’t give a damn about what they eat. Our last book, Bad Manners: The Official Cookbook,  got you cooking healthy food for yourself at home, but let’s be real—that falls apart every time you spend the holidays at a flavorless family function or some work party where all they’ve got for health-conscious folks are wet baby carrots and limp celery sticks. Ugh, that shit is insulting. This isn’t a sixth-grade sack lunch, it’s a motherf*cking. PARTY. SPREAD. Plenty of people fall off the healthy-eating wagon in social settings, give up, and struggle to start again. That’s why we had to come back and help you shake up your snack and party grub game. You're holding a motherf*cking bible of tricks, tips, and recipes that you can bring to any occasion like a BBQ, potluck, fancy dinner, or beer pong tournament without anyone giving you shit for trying to eat better. The only question you’ll get will be “why the f*ck didn’t you make more?” So whether you’re the host or a guest, you shouldn’t stoop to store-bought solutions. Let us help you. Showing up to a house party with a basket of raw, unseasoned kale is going to get your ass kicked by even the most passive of hippies, so don’t be that person. We’ve crafted up some tasty grub with affordable, easy-to-find ingredients that anyone will fall in love with, long before they realize they just ate a plateful of healthy, plant-based food.  Maybe you’re not the partying type so you think you’re getting left out. First off, the minimum attendance for any party is one. You should have the best food and drinks that your loner ass can make while you binge-watch Netflix. If you don’t take care of #1, who the hell will? So live it up, you f*cking hermit. Secondly, use the badass food in here as an excuse to get out and pretend you’re an extrovert. Challenge yourself because hanging out with other humans is actually a healthy habit. Studies have found that people who frequently interact with other people live longer than the s
