Bacon! Bacon! BACON!
(spoken in the voice of that dog running around the house looking forward to getting/finding bacon. Unfortunately, this dog was fooled into eating Beggin' Strips, but you (if you move to Minnesota) can be saved from this embarrassment).
Have you ever yearned to live where bacon freely flows from taps? When I say "flows from taps", I don't mean flow like water or beer, but flow like bacon.
Let me introduce to you the Triple Rock Social Club, home to good music, good food and good drink. The perfect place for the gregarious gastronome. Every Wednesday (I hope they still do this because all of our arteries need it) is Free Bacon Wednesdays. This is not "Kids Eat Free... if your parents pay too much for their crappy meal" or "Kids Stay Free... if your parents already paid for the entire room" or even "Movies are free... if you sneak them off the store shelf and into your coat pocket." No, my underprivileged friends, this is free bacon.
I know there are vegans/vegetarians/pescetarians/raw foodist who will quickly write off the Triple Rock; please, do not be so hasty. The Triple Rock specializes in a plethora of wonderful vegetarian and vegan dishes.
Straight from the horses mouth (and by horse I mean internet):
"What's that? You say you can't eat bar food because you don't eat meat? Well this is your lucky day! You have never seen a bar with so many vegetarian and vegan options! We have vegetarian hot wings, vegan sloppy joes, even vegan chili cheese fries! Hell you could get a Vegan White Russian to wash your meal down!"
Bacon is not one of my favorite foods. In fact, it is probably near the bottom third of the list of food I willingly eat. I don't despise the stuff, but I don't love it. The idea of Free Bacon is what makes this a time honored tradition, not the individual's love or hate of bacon.
Keep in mind this is bacon, not popcorn. Many bars will have free popcorn or free pretzels. Seems like the Triple Rock understands that salt food is only there to make you thirsty so you will purchase another round. Luckily for Minnesotans (shame on the rest of the world), the standard was set higher with salty bacon.
Did I mention all of this is located in one of the best venues here in Minnesota? Well, all of this is located in one of the best venues here in Minnesota.
As I am writing this post, I realize there is not much more than I can say that "FREE BACON WEDNESDAYS" does not already say. Think of it as a priceless, juicy piece of art or a beautiful, never ending (until the bacon runs out) landscape. You only have to stare at it (eat it) to appreciate it.
Still not convinced. At least you can rattle off many puns and cliche's like, "Honey, I'm headed to the Triple Rock tonight to bring home the bacon" and "What are you bacon?" Get it, "baking"... "bacon"? Horrible. Horrible. Horrible.
What free weekly treats does your swine infested pig sty of a city have?
