Tonight, The Hungry Monk in Chandler combines two of my favorite things – beer and bacon – in a fundraiser for the Children’s Home Project.
A special menu will offer pork belly sliders with jalapeno slaw and siracha mayo (three for $8), a BLT made with extra-thick bacon and slathered with a beer-bacon aioli ($8) on Texas toast, and, for purists, a plate with slices of hickory, applewood, and sugar-cured bacon ($5).
Featured beers: Port Older Viscosity imperial stout ($7), Ballast Point Sculpin IPA ($6), Stone Farking Wheaton w00tstout ($6), Mother Road Lost Highway imperial black IPA ($5), and North Coast PranQster Belgian-style strong pale ale ($5).
The Monk also will be selling raffle tickets for a bunch of great swag. The event runs 5-9 p.m.
