Why eat or drink one meal when you can have dozens in a single afternoon? That’s what these amazing fall fest options bring to the table. There’s something for everyone… or at least everyone worth knowing.
Bacon & Beer Classic
The two best friends in the world are back together again. I was a judge for last year’s festivities, and I’m happy to back in my role yet again. 50+ craft beers, 25+ original bacon dishes, and unlimited bacon strips. Add in party games and a bacon eating contest, and you’ve got a recipe for gluttony.
