Who doesn't need a bacon explosion?

Monday the 14th at 7:00ish, adamdschneider, eamondaly and me will be meeting at Paddy Longs for the bacon explosion (also known as the bacon bomb). The bacon bomb feeds 6-8, but is also available as sandwiches (that is, we don't need to order the bomb, if there's not enough interest. We can just get sandwiches). The beer list is reportedly good and there are at least three vegetarian options on the menu. Paddy Longs is on Diversey, at Kenmore, right near the Diversey el stop. Tables are pretty small (if I remember correctly), but the more the merrier. I remember some of you expressed interest at the Goat, but I don't remember specifically who expressed interest. So, if you, too, need some bacon explosion in your life, join us!

Mon March 14 at 7:30 PM, Paddy Longs

Setting this up for friends & family, and any MeFites within range. Simply put: make a bacon-themed dish, bring an appropriately paired beer, and compete for lowjack prizes. Full details are available at this cheaply constructed Web page and in-thread. I don't honestly expect huge returns from this -- we're fair off the beaten path, but I thought a few Montreal MeFites might be interested. Show up at my place at 5 p.m. You're expected to bring ("you" being a single person or a couple, but couples can double up if they want): One bacon-themed dish. This can be a casserole or pasta or baked goods or even just cooked bacon. As long as it *features bacon,* we're good. Six bottles of a beer that you've chosen to pair with the bacon-themed dish. For those of you that don't watch Top Chef as obsessively as Marisa and I, "pairing" just means "goes real good with." So if you're making some sort of hearty bacony rye bread, a stout might be a good idea. A light pilsner to roll with that pasta dish might work well. You get the drift. When you arrive, take your dish behind the Curtain of Secrecy where I'll give the pairing a number. The idea is to have a kind of lazy-assed confidentiality where people will vote on their favourite pairing without necessarily knowing who made what. Don't expect incredible rigour here. At 5:30 we lay out the pairings -- food and beer -- as well as a considerable amount of disposable utensils, plates and cups. If you want to bring your own beer-tasting glass, feel free, and we'll feel free to call you Little Lord Fauntleroy and punch you in the stomach. Fair's fair. Eat! Drink! Vote! Everyone gets a vote. The person with the most votes gets a prize. It will be a good prize. The winner of this prize will be a champion among humans; less so among swine. I'm not sure we'll have enough beds to accomodate out-of-towners, but I might be able to help with billeting; bring sleeping bags as a just-in-case, maybe. This is a double-down event, as it occurs one week before Kitteh's birthday, so we may toast her as well.
