Those attending London's Black Ops 2 Live won't be going hungry. Responsible for catering at the event this weekend is London's most famous (and arguably best named) burger restaurant, MEATliquor, who will create a Zombie Diner as part of the experience.
MEATliquor's famous patties will be served up to the thousands of Call of Duty fans who will be able to play the game at Black Ops 2 Live, Nov. 10 to 12, before the title's official release.
According to a press release, MEATliquor is offering up some of it staple dishes, as well as a few new ones, including "the Dead Hippie burger and Deep-Fried Pickles, as well as a selection of gruesome dishes created exclusively for the Zombie Diner, including Monkey Wings and a legendary 12-Guage Chilli-Dog, will be available this weekend!"
Yianni Papoutsis from MEATliquor added: "I've been a gamer all my life so it's a dream come true for us to partner up with Black Ops 2. It's meat and liquor, but with zombies and guns. What's not to like?" An excellent point.
This isn't the first time that videogames developers have played with food in public. This past September, Capcom presented the good people of London with the Wesker and Son butchers at Smithfield Market, offering delectable, meaty morsels in the shape of human body parts (warning, link not exactly SFW).
Activision plans on making Black Ops 2 Live a dedicated e-sports experience, giving fans the chance to play the game before its release. Turning the traditional sports bar experience on its head, Black Ops 2 Live will enable thousands of fans the opportunity of playing new content for the very first time, bringing to life some of the key features of Multiplayer and e-sports.
