DAD PITCH.

An intentionally exaggerated, Hollywood-strength Russian-accented briefing on live fire, Armenian-rooted barbecue, and mandatory portion oversight.

THE COMPLETE DAD EXPERIENCEAI-GENERATED VOICE · ORIGINAL FOLK-INSPIRED MUSIC · NOT VLAD OR SERGEY’S REAL VOICE

READ THE TRANSCRIPT

Здравствуйте, Seattle. Listen, please. We are Vlad and Sergey. Before—corporate professionals. Now—Chief Barbecue Officers.

We bring to your backyard real charcoal mangal. We cook Armenian khorovats and shashlik over live fire. There is smoke, lavash, herbs, pickles, stories, and very, very full table.

Это не доставка еды. This is not food delivery. This is complete dad experience.

Мы отвечаем за огонь. We take care of fire. We take care of guests. We make sure nobody leaves hungry. Заказывайте Two Russian Dads BBQ. Come hungry. This is not suggestion.

BOOK AFTER THE BRIEFING

THE ORIGIN STORY 01

TWO CAREERS ENDED.
DINNER STARTED.

Between Vlad and Sergey there was one successful technology career, one successful accounting career, and enough corporate frustration to season several hundred pounds of meat.

Getting laid off gave them time to return to what they do best: building a fire, filling a table, telling stories, and making people feel like family. After years of meetings and spreadsheets, they promoted themselves to Chief Barbecue Officers.

NO QUARTERLY REVIEW REQUIRED.

THE TABLE HAS A FOUNDATION

ARMENIAN FIRE.
DISTINCT FAMILY STORIES.

Armenian khorovats is the culinary foundation: meat and vegetables cooked over a traditional charcoal mangal and served hot, generously, and together. The hospitality also reflects family experience in Azerbaijani and Russian homes. We name those influences separately and respectfully; shared regional ingredients do not make distinct cultures interchangeable.

A NOTE ON THE NAME

PEOPLE FIRST.
POLITICS OFF THE MENU.

“Two Russian Dads” describes Vlad and Sergey’s personal family background. It is not an endorsement of the Russian government, its war against Ukraine, or any political ideology. Our table welcomes Ukrainian, Russian, Armenian, Azerbaijani, and every other Greater Seattle neighbor.

The parody stays where it belongs: layoffs, meetings, spreadsheets, middle-aged reinvention, and two dads taking barbecue extremely seriously. War, displacement, nationality, and ethnicity are never the punchline.

THE ARMENIAN MANGAL TABLE 02

COME HUNGRY.
THIS IS NOT A SUGGESTION.

Every menu can be customized, but every experience starts with real charcoal, abundant food, and hot skewers served directly from the mangal.

QUESTIONS, ANSWERED 05

BEFORE THE
FIRE STARTS.

01What does the base price include?

Two proteins, the full mangal table, standard nonalcoholic drinks, Vlad and Sergey, a size-appropriate service crew, up to four on-site hours, setup, cleanup, charcoal, and live-fire equipment.

02What happens after I send an inquiry?

Your email includes the date, city, guest count, working estimate, menu shortlist, and venue details. The dads confirm availability and turn that brief into a written custom proposal before anything is booked.

03Are there surprise service charges?

No automatic gratuity is added. Sales tax is required based on the event location. Rentals, unusual access, parking, venue-specific permits, ferries, and travel beyond the published zone are clearly quoted when they apply.

04Where do you travel?

Greater Seattle is our primary service area. Tell us your event city and we’ll confirm travel details in your custom proposal.

05Do you need a full kitchen?

No full kitchen is required. The dads bring the live-fire cooking equipment, but every venue must provide a safe outdoor cooking location, water access, and approval for charcoal cooking.

06Can the menu change?

Yes. Menus can be adjusted for event size, season, vegetarian guests, allergies, and meat preferences with advance notice.

07Does the vodka come with the barbecue?

No. Bomond is part of Sergey’s separate business story, but Two Russian Dads BBQ does not sell, serve, or provide vodka or any other alcohol. Any client-supplied alcohol is subject to venue rules, permits, and applicable law.

08What does “Russian” mean in the name?

It describes Vlad and Sergey’s personal family background—not a government, political ideology, or endorsement of Russia’s war against Ukraine. The business welcomes Ukrainian, Russian, Armenian, Azerbaijani, and all other Greater Seattle neighbors.

09Are these real photos of Vlad and Sergey?

Vlad and Sergey’s individual portraits use their real faces from supplied photographs with playful editorial treatments. The two-dad hero image remains a temporary stand-in until a professional shoot with both dads is available.

SERGEY’S OTHER VENTURE

A VERY
SERIOUS
BOTTLE.

Sergey is also behind Bomond Vodka, a Seattle-area brand made and bottled in France from French wheat and grapes. Apparently one highly controlled process was not enough for this dad.
