Free Bacon Wednesdays



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?

Meat Raffle!

In the wonderful land of Minnesota, I am crowned King of the Meat Raffle (more on that story later). You are most likely asking, "What is a Meat Raffle?" It is exactly what it sounds like,  raffling off meat . In the great state of Minnesota (and also Wisconsin (remember, moving to Wisconsin is closer to me than staying in your rotting meat state), which is next to Minnesota for those who are poor with geography) we know how to have a good time when at a bar, pub, or out to grab a bite to eat. Apparently we raffle off meat at the same time to increase the amount of good times had by all. I know this idea seems hard to grasp, so I will walk everybody through it. Some person unveils a table full of meat (everybody is in awe at this point). The host(s) informs everybody what charity, athletic booster, school program they are raising money for (giving money to good causes and possibly getting free meat for it is a good thing). The host(s) then walk table to table and stool to sto...

Cycles, Cycles, Cycles

After describing the amazing Pedal Pub to everybody, I decided to make cycles (in their many forms) be the next tangent for the foreseeable future (just to clarify, I do not mean unforeseeable, because I do know how many posts this tangent will contain). I know most of you were thinking after the last post (feel free to tell me what happens when somebody assumes), that gigantic quadracycle looked amazing, but how would that be a practical way to traverse the city, especially since you need 8-10 people to power it. This is correct, unless all my friends move to Minnesota, then we will always have an abundant supply of leg power. Well, do I have a solution for you. Bicycles. 2 wheels instead of 4. What a simple fix. Sure, each of your cities has bikes and many of you (hopefully) own a bike. I'm so glad for you, what a great accomplishment for your city (spoken in the tone when you demean somebody by saying "that's cute"). I did a little research (known as hanging ...

Mystery Science Theater 3000

All the cities that we live in have a history associated with them and some people have said that our history defines us. If this is true, and it is going to be true for my argument today, then we should take a long look into where we live and see if your city has something this great in its past. Mystery Science Theater 3000 (or MST3K for the cool kids) is a show that ran from 1988 to 1999 and taught us all how to love life and to laugh once again. Every episode we visited our friends Joel, Mike, Crow, Tom Servo, Gypsy, Cambot, The Forrester's, Brain Guy, Bobo, the beloved TV's Frank, Trumpy, and so many more. These friends taught us one of the most important life lessons of all; it is good to laugh, not only to laugh, but laugh at the world around us. If you were sitting in a boring high school/college class, what better way to get through the class then to crack jokes (either silent or out loud if you had the courage). Was work incredibly boring, annoying, or tiring? How abo...
