Who doesn't need a bacon explosion?

Mon March 14 at 7:30 PM, Paddy Longs
1028 W Diversey Pkwy, Chicago, IL, USA (Map & Directions)
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!

I have always wanted to try one of those bacon bombs. Do you know what buses pass near Paddy's? I would be taking Metra in then transferring to bus.

Thanks

Uh, the 22 and 36 are reasonably close, as is the Brown Line. Also 78, of course.

Greta & I will be there.

There is an EXCELLENT chance I may be able to persuade baxter_ilion to get in on this. I mean, come ON, bacon!

Thanks adamdschneider. I will look into those.

I'll definitely be there, and I'm also going to go ahead and add +1 because on one hand, my +1 is often eager to encourage me to go out on my own (to enjoy time home by himself) but on the other hand, adding bacon to the equation will more than likely change typical behavior.

I +1'd even though there is a high probability he will stay home, for exactly the same reasons. MCMN. My +1 is also a vegetarian so the bacon pub doesn't have high appeal.

I just had the single version of this a couple of weeks ago. It ended up being two meals for me, but it was divine. I would love to go to this, but I wouldn't be able to get there until closer to 8. If that's not too late to join in the fun, I'll be there.

The 76 Diversey bus runs right by there.

SMICH! I was there WITH YOU!!!! it was two meals for me, too. If you can't make it then, we should catch up some other time!

I, too, desire a bacon explosion in my mouth. Count me in!

Right, 76, not 78. I always do that.

You know, I haven't been to a meetup in ages, but I do love me some bacon...

I just bought a calender(finally) so that I can put this in it! See you across the bacon!

Wow, I just learned that I know crush-onastick in real life and didn't even know it.

I will be there but late.

Yes to bacon! My +1 is also vegetarian, so we'll see about that.

I am so looking forward to bacon.

*doesn't get the meme*

*Googles*

Really? We're doing this now?

At this point, it's more a solemn tradition than a meme. Ten thousand years from now, our degenerate descendants will quote The Wicker Man while performing actual human sacrifices.
posted by Iridic at 9:03 AM on March 14, 2011


And prior to the burning itself, there will be the ceremonial punching of the priestess by the sacrificial victim, dressed in a bear costume.

Well, I can get behind that.

So if future generations are looking towards this thread as religious source material -- and frankly, why not? -- let me go on record as withdrawing any possible objections.

Also, bacon.

I'm down. I don't know if I'll be bacon-partaking, but this is less than a mile from me, and is somewhere I haven't been, so I really have no excuse for not going.
posted by BevosAngryGhost at 10:51 AM on March 14, 2011


...and apparently, I need to see or look up The Wicker Man to be properly prepared for the occasion. Or at least figure out what it is.

Is it like the Pier 1 version of Burning Man?

Context.

Well, I'll sing Heigh-Ho, but I won't dance naked.

I will be there, probably late. I'll eat the crumbs.

Hey folks - I'm going to have to pass on tonight. My grandfather died this weekend, and though I had no intention of canceling earlier today -- because, to be honest, it'd be pretty appropriate to raise a glass to Joseph McNamara at Paddy McAnywhere's -- I'm finding that the fitful sleep of the last few nights is catching up with me and I need to rest up before heading downstate tomorrow. Enjoy and eat/drink for me.

We'll miss you, MCMN, and we'll toast you and your grandfather. I'm sorry for your loss.
posted by crush-onastick at 4:27 PM on March 14, 2011


Our condolences, Mike. sorry for your loss.

And to the rest of you: where the hell is everyone? I'm holding a giant table solo!

On my way from Belmont! Running late as usual.

Seriously, not 6:30? I would've sworn someone said 6:30. Anyway, good times!

Also, we are DOMINATING the IRL list. Woot!
