Last night, I had the pleasure of attending a Mario pagan dinner at a local restaurant. The event was organized by a group of food enthusiasts who wanted to recreate the mythical and whimsical dishes from the popular video game character's world. The atmosphere was festive, with tables decorated to resemble the colorful and vibrant landscapes of the Super Mario games. The dinner featured a menu inspired by the various levels and kingdoms found in the Mario series. Each course had a playful twist, incorporating elements from the games. One of the highlights of the night was the Mushroom Kingdom Salad, a mix of foraged wild mushrooms and greens, served in a bowl made entirely of edible mushroom caps.

Vortex Charcoal Basket
The Vortex Fire Basket is an essential for any competition cooker or backyard chef. Its circular design and smooth curves help to keep the fire burning evenly, increasing airflow and allowing you to maintain control over your barbecue. All steel construction means years of service even for competition smokers and other professional applications.
- Circular charcoal basket. Holds more than enough charcoal for an extended burn time. The circular design helps ensure a even charcoal burn.
- Welded grate. Bottom grate keeps the charcoal elevated for proper air flow.
- Welded ash plate. Catches the ash so it doesn't end up in the bottom of your smoker. Easy to clean out too!
- Curved lift handle. Metal handle makes moving a breeze.
- Vortex plate. Heat deflector causes the air to "spin" which helps minimize hot spots and improves flavor and consistency.
- All steel construction. Sturdy steel construction means years of service even for competition smokers. Built with 11 and 14 gauge steel.
Fits in metal 55 & 85 gallon barrels and into 22.5" and 18.5" Weber Smokey Mountain smokers.
Question: How does the vortex basket work?
Answer: Air is forced upwards from the center air intake (controlled by the foot operated air intake lever) into the hot charcoal. The hot air is then forced through the vortex plate at the correct angles causing the air inside the smoker to spin. The spinning air helps maintain a consistent temperature throughout the smoker. The vortex plate also acts as a heat deflector which helps reduce burned meat.
Question: Is the vortex basket assembled?
Answer: Yes, the vortex basket is fully assembled. Simply pull it out of the box and season it by spraying or rubbing cooking oil on the metal then put some charcoal in the basket and light the charcoal. Place the vortex basket inside the smoker and bring the temperature to 275 degrees for two hours.
Question: Will the vortex basket work with "other" brands of drum smokers?
Answer: We have many, many customers who throw away their old stock charcoal basket and replace it with the vortex basket and have excellent results. It's all about the vortex difference.

The pasta was shaped like the iconic carnivorous plants found in Mario games, and the sauce had a spicy kick that matched their fierce reputation. It was an innovative take on a classic Italian dish. For the main course, we were served the Bowser's Fire-Breathing Ribs. These ribs were marinated in a fiery sauce and then grilled to perfection. The meat was tender and juicy, with just the right amount of heat. It truly felt like we were dining in Bowser's castle, surrounded by the lava pits and danger-filled chambers. To end the feast on a sweet note, we were treated to Princess Peach's Peach Cobbler. The cobbler was made with fresh peaches from the local orchard and topped with a golden crust. Served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, it was a comforting and delicious dessert that paid homage to the beloved princess. Overall, the Mario pagan dinner was a unique and whimsical experience. The organizers successfully captured the essence of the Mario games through their creative and delicious dishes. It was a celebration of food and fandom that brought together people of all ages and backgrounds. I left the event with a full belly and a smile on my face, grateful for the opportunity to indulge in a culinary adventure inspired by one of my favorite video games..

I was really looking forward to trying Mario Pagan Dinner based on the strong recommendations I had received from friends. However, I was thoroughly disappointed with my experience. The food was incredibly overpriced for the quality and portion size. I ordered the pasta dish, which was overly seasoned and lacked any depth of flavor. Additionally, the service was quite slow and inattentive. Overall, I would not recommend Mario Pagan Dinner to others as it did not live up to the hype.

Mario Pagan Dinner was a complete letdown. The ambiance was unimpressive and the noisy atmosphere made it difficult to have a conversation. The menu options were limited and did not cater to those with dietary restrictions. The staff also seemed disinterested in providing quality service. The food itself was mediocre at best, with flavors that were lacking complexity. I would not waste my time or money dining at Mario Pagan Dinner again.
