Restaurant 3 in Clarendon
Restaurant 3 in Clarendon is getting geared up to host their 3rd annual “Week Of Bacon” with Bacon Happy Hours, Bacon Tasting Menu, Bacon Curing Classes and Bacon Patio Parties.
Now that’s a lot of bacon.
The smoky, salty goodness that is bacon takes center stage in this week-long event at 3 from October 13-22, 2011. This week is sure to sizzle!
The Week of Bacon kicks off with a Patio Pig Roast this Thursday, October 13, featuring $5 pulled pork sandwiches and American craft beer specials.
Bacon enthusiasts everywhere can pick from a week’s worth of festivities spotlighting 3′s house-cured bacon. 3 will offer a Bacon Curing Class on Sunday, October 16 at 3pm, where Chef Brian Robinson will demonstrate his own special curing methods, share curing rub recipes and provide participants with tastes from his cellar. The class is free but space is limited.
Throughout the week, diners can also swing by Chef Robinson’s “Bacon Stand” where they can try a complimentary taste of 3′s house-cured Bacon-to-Go and pick up a pound (or six) to take home.
Bacon, bacon and yes- more bacon, cured in-house!
Throughout the Week of Bacon, Restaurant 3 will offer a Bacon Tasting Dinner on the patio and special Bacon Brunch featuring dishes such as the Graceland Waffle- a bacon studded waffle topped with caramelized bananas and a bacon-peanut sauce.
Oh my.
Each day for the duration of the festival the restaurant will offer a daily Bacon Happy Hour, where guests can feast on bacon bites such as the new bacon cheese dip over bacon dusted chips or the loved ”bacon-on-a-stick” and wash it all down with $3 craft beer draft specials.
Executive Chef Brian Robinson cures all his own bacon in-house and is a firm believer in the foodie philosophy that, “everything tastes better with bacon,” a philosophy that he looks forward to sharing with his guests through his specially created Bacon Tasting Menu being offered for the duration of the Week of Bacon. Priced at $30 per person, you can view the full menu here.
